The replacement cycle of phones should have been the driving factor here, if you're in it for the long haul you learn from your mistakes and you do better next time.

The phone is brilliant but the market would have to get used to seeing google as a hardware supplier rather than an online service provider, so they'll have to establish their brand in that line of business. This takes time.

To expect instant acceptance in such a dramatic departure of your core business is totally unrealistic.
