Geek.com reports that it's sources say Google is aiming to have this Nexus call center fully staffed and trained by the end of the month.
A dedicated Nexus call center for its upcoming flagship phone would help Google to bolster its customer service credentials, an area that's been singled out for criticism when earlier Nexus devices launched. It's also adds more weight to recent reports of an LG-built Nexus being announced, and possibly launched, in late October.
