You might have heard that Google (NSDQ: GOOG)’s Nexus One Android smartphone was advent to Europe by way of Vodafone. Well, thanks to this High German leak, we see that the N1 (along with the LG BL40 and N97 Mini) will be priced at at 149.90 Euros. Despite the hype, Google’s N1 gross sales have a shipway to go to compete with even with its other Android cousins, like the Motorola (NYSE: MOT test) droid. From what I’ve seen, the N1 is wellspring-polished and all, but has little to go that other Android handsets won’t get eventually by means of a firmware update. Who knows, maybe things go differently in Europe, but I question it.
