Nexus One Makes Its Way Toward Retail Channels

It seems the web model for Google's Nexus One phone didn't work out quite as planned. If everyone recalls, our favorite fruit company made the same mistake when it debuted the original iPhone, in asking everyone to activate/select a plan through iTunes. it seems, though, Google has learned from their mistake and is now ready to tackle the mass challenge of selling a phone through retail channels. Question is: will T-Mobile sell it directly via brick and mortar? Already, iWireless.com is selling it through their retail web store, but at $300 it's a lot more of an ouch than the $179 Google was asking for it through their web model. Hmm, time to break the piggy bank? Or perhaps picket outside T-Mobile stores? As long as you don't follow the example of this guy.
