Thats because its on T-Mobile, just wait till it comes on Verizon, AT&T and Sprint and it will sell even more than the droid and the iphone.
Got a tip for us?

Well, I doubt it.... 140,000 units as of monday. The iphone had done pretty well with one carrier. But who know...
I am not against the nexus in any way (even though I don't think it is such a great phone). I like competition as the only people that benefit from it are the consumers.
I mean just think about it, Droid sold more than the iphone in 2010 so far on Verizon only, imagine the Nexus one which is a better phone and on all four carriers, you do the math lol.
09' or 10? If you mean 10' I think its a little early to count apple out this year. If you mean 09' I can see that being that the 3GS was kind of a boring update.

Due difference with the Droid is that it was well supported advertising wise and you can walk into a store and play with one before signing up.
You can't with the N1 so I doubt it will ever sell at the same levels as the original iPhone or the Droid.

I'm not so sure.
The Droid was backed with a multi-multi-million dollar advertising campaign and is carrier-subsidised (which Americans seem to love) on the #1 carrier.
The N1, so far, as gotten nothing but web advertising and a spot on Google's home page. And while can be purchased with T-Mobile subsidy, there's no subsidy on AT&T- unlocked, full retail only. Who knows about the coming Sprint and VZW models (subsidy or no).
That being said, I have a Droid which I love, but I'd love a Nexus One, too (on VZW though).
But, as for the original point of the thread - I think the mockup looks cool, but I suspect it's only a mockup and will never see the light of day. My suspicion is that Google will stay away from hard keyboards for the Nexus line of phones.
Yeah but I'm sure Verizon is gonna advertise it on TV when they get it, just like what they did with the droid, and btw I'm really surprised that you guys dont believe the N1 is gonna sell more even though it's gonna come on ALL 4 CARRIERS, and the iPhone is only on AT&T
The N1 is DEFINITELY going to sell more now since its on all four carriers. 135K on T-Mobile isn't that bad. It should be around 1M eventually. I am sure they will sway a few AT&T iPhone users who are planning on selling their iPhone now, using that money towards the N1, and waiting to see what Apple offers this summer, to determine if they want to go back to the iPhone this summer. That's my plan.
