In a spectacular mistake (at least to phone geeks), Walmart.com put up an erroneous page today claiming to be selling a Google Nexus One phone which supports AT&T’s, Sprint’s and/or Verizon’s 3G networks.
“Due to a technical error, this item erroneously was displayed on our site … We have no plans to carry Nexus One in Walmart stores or online at Walmart.com at this time,” Walmart.com spokesman Ravi Jariwala said.
That didn’t stop a bunch of Web sites from speculating that the Nexus One is “headed for a Walmart near you“. But that just doesn’t seem to be the truth.
The strange product page, which is actually hosted on the LetsTalk.com Web site, promises a different Nexus One than the T-Mobile model we’ve tested. This model would have AT&T’s 3G bands as well as EVDO, allowing it to run on Sprint’s and Verizon’s networks. That is, if it existed. You still have to wonder why someone built that entire Web page, if the phone doesn’t exist.
The new Nexus One page, with a “Coming Soon” tag, also appears on the main LetsTalk.com Web site.
