Another one for the list of things killed by Google because it wasn’t instantly making truckloads of money.

IMHO this was a good deal for Google, you paid $1300 for getting a phone worth $800 AND due to the subscription you were entrenched in the walled garden giving all your data to Google. Win-win for them
