Google has now stopped taking orders for the 16GB Nexus 4. Again. The phone’s listing now just says “SOLD OUT” in big red letters with no option to place a buy, no doubt as a result of the ongoing stock and ordering problems that recetly led the boss of Google to apologise to those stuck in the stock queue awaiting delivery.
Obviously the 8GB version of the Nexus 4 is still SOLD OUT as well, with the smaller, cheaper model not reappearing for purchase since selling out in minutes when it first went on sale back in November.
It really is an enormous mess, and it’s very hard to believe Google didn’t expect a massively discounted, cutting-edge Android model to be this highly sought after.
It’s smooth to use, the 1080p display is sharp, clear and bright, the device is extremely light and thin and therefore very pocketable and portable — much more so than other 5-inch phones we’ve used. And yet… we’re a bit unimpressed by the overall package…
A relatively high-spec smartphone, with a 4.5″ display running at 480 x 854 resolution and powered by a 1.2GHz dual-core processor, plus the Ascend G510 arrives running Android 4.1.1 — albeit potentially hindered by Huawei only sticking 512MB of RAM inside it..
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.
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?

/ December 18, 2012Exactly the same for me. I thought it was being shipped by DHL but apparently they sent it through TNT. Hopefully it will show up tomorrow (Wednesday)
