Google Building Phone Support for Nexus One

From PC World: After struggling to support Nexus One customers using an online-only approach, Google appears to be developing a phone customer service operation.

The Digital Inspiration blog noticed a Google job advertisement for a phone support program manager for Android and the Nexus One.

The position includes building and managing telephone support for Android and Nexus One customers, according to the job posting. It's not clear if Google will be handling the operation entirely internally or if it will partner with an outsourced call-center operation.

Google spokeswoman Katie Watson declined to answer questions about the company's plans. However, she said Google is prepared to make changes in response to customer needs. "We continue to address all issues in as timely of a manner as possible, and we're flexible and prepared to make changes to our processes and tools, as necessary, for an optimal customer support experience," she wrote in an e-mail.

Shortly after the Nexus One was released, Google faced a deluge of complaints from users struggling to find help for various problems. Many contacted T-Mobile only to be referred to HTC, which often directed customers back to T-Mobile. Google accepts only e-mail queries, in addition to its online help forum, to which it responds in one or two days.
