Online mobile gadget shop Handtec has suspended sales of the Galaxy Nexus, after it discovered that the volume bug was present in the SIM-free units it received from Samsung. The site says it had already begun sending out some phones before the error was widely reported – but has now stopped selling the device.
Here’s what Handtec said on its blog earlier today:
UPDATE further tests have shown that there is an issue with the volume on some tested units – we will keep you updated
UPDATE The tests are showing when in 2G mode the volume is acting erratically – we at this point are putting all shipments on hold.
Whoops. Samsung’s also currently deleting angry posts like made over on its UK Facebook page. It could really do with making some sort of statement on this before it undoes the last two years of good work building up the Galaxy brand.
Can’t think of a good name for this crisis. Volumegate is too boring. 900MHz-gate doesn’t exactly trip off the tongue. Anyone got any good ideas? Soundgate? Four-point-fail?
The Panasonic Eluga marks the company’s return to the European mobile phone scene years after several years of absence, and it’s come back to us with a moderately high-spec Android model that features a rather stylish, slim case.
The HTC One V is HTC’s third entry in its high-profile new HTC One range, offering a smaller 3.7″ display running on a single-core 1GHz processor. It is is very much the “affordable” option in HTC’s newest Android series, but…
The HTC One S is the piggy in the middle of HTC’s 2012 line-up, offering a 4.3″ AMOLED display inside a very slim and stylish aluminium chassis. The end result is a phone that’s very, very slim and stylish.
HTC’s new quad-core monster, the 4.7″ flagship for 2012 that introduces the Tegra 3 processor to mobile phones, updates HTC’s range to Android 4.0 and brings us the supposedly streamlined version 4.0 of HTC’s Sense user interface.
Sony returns with an all-new mobile design for 2012, pairing a dual-core processor with a 720p display. It’s a lovely phone, but is it enough to end our Samsung and HTC obsession?
LG’s updated Prada phone comes with an absolutely crazy black & white theme, but is it just for fashionable suit wearers who want to make themselves look a bit more interesting?
