The shameful stock situation Google’s been suffering with its Nexus phone and tablet range has got a little better today, with the Asus-made Nexus 7 now available once again in its 3G/32GB incarnation for the usual unlocked price of £239, joining the 32GB Wi-Fi only model in being available direct from Google.
Also, Google’s now started accepting orders for the 16GB Nexus 10 again, which currently ships in “less than one week” if you believe what Google’s rather wobbly ordering system has to say. That’s at the same £319 price as before, too.
The bad news is that, in the UK at least, the 16GB Nexus 7 is still unavailable, as are the two Nexus 4 models (surprise!) AND the 32GB Nexus 10, meaning only THREE out of the SEVEN Nexus devices are currently in stock through Google’s direct store.
But that’s better than yesterday, when only one Nexus 7 model was listed as being in stock.
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?

/ January 8, 2013Wondering if Google’s lack of enthusiasm and stock for the N10 can be explained by the eminent release of the new Tegra4 and SnapDragon chips.
Seeing those CES specs made me glad that I didn’t plonk down some cash for a N10 when it is about to be improved upon in a few months; considering I got burned with the Sony S.
I think I will defer my Android 10″ Tablet purchase till the Spring.
