Quoth The Counting Crows – “Don’t it always seem to go that you don’t know what you got till it’s gone?”

Yes indeedy. It appears that Android developers were so forcefully reminded of the Nexus One’s greatness by its removal from Google’s public web store that they have cleared the entire remaining stock in a few short weeks.

According to Google's Android developer advocate, Tim Bray, the phone is back-ordered with HTC and they are working their hardest to get the N1 back in stock. It's nice to see that the openness of the Nexus One with its unfettered vanilla Froyo experience is still a valuable commodity, but the tragedy is that the days of this bloatware-free stalwart are surely coming to an end soon.

We knew Google was planning on closing down the web store, and it looks like they’re pretty close to that point. In a blog post today, they announced that they’ve received their last batch of Nexus Ones. While they may still be available in certain markets – including Vodafone (in Europe) and KT (in Korea), as well as other places “based on local market conditions,” – this by and large marks the end.

Support will still be offered to N1 customers, and developers can still purchase the phone through a partner – accessible via their Market accounts.
