[Update: Back In Stock] Nexus 4 8GB Model Goes Out Of Stock On The US Play Store

Posted by David Ruddock in News, Nexus 4

Update 2: The Nexus 4 8GB model appears to be back in stock once again on the US Play Store, with a shipping estimate of 2-3 weeks.

Update: Apparently, some people are still seeing the 8GB version as still shipping in 2-3 weeks. However, if you actually attempt to place an order, you'll get the "An error occurred while processing your purchase. Please try again later" message. So, it's probably out of stock everywhere in the US, the change may just not have propagated across the internet quite yet.

Well, it took a whole nine days this time, but after returning to availability in the US Play Store on January 29th, late last night the Nexus 4 8GB edition went out of stock yet again.

After Hitting 9-10 Week Shipping Estimate In US, 8GB Nexus 4 Goes Out Of Stock Yet Again

Posted by David Ruddock in Android OS, News, Nexus 4

In a sight all too familiar to would-be Nexus owners this morning, the Nexus 4 8GB model has once again been listed as "out of stock" on the Play Store. This comes after Google opened up a second round of Nexus sales, which were basically glorified pre-orders, particularly when it came to the 8GB model, which quickly hit a 5-6 week shipping estimate.

Earlier this week, that estimate stretched all the way to 9-10 weeks, and presumably anything past 10 was the tipping point. While it's unclear if Google's shipping estimate actually means buyers won't be getting there for phones for 2 months, or if it's a conservative "worst case scenario," apparently they've taken enough orders that any more would be too speculative (you also have a high risk of order cancellations on such a long wait).

No Nexus 4 You - Anatomy Of A Smartphone Launch Disaster

Posted by David Ruddock in Editorials, Jelly Bean 4.2, News, Nexus 4

I understand that there have already been dozens of rants in regard to Google's "launch" (and yes, that requires ironic quotes) of the Nexus 4. And I understand that sitting here whining about it doesn't help anyone - so I'm going to avoid that. Really. I mean it. Mostly. But I am going to be critical.

From day one, the Nexus 4 has seemed - essentially - cursed. Victim to some dark techno-magic that has ensured nearly every step of the way that Google's flagship $300-350 phone would be delighting as few consumers as possible in the critical holiday sales season.

T-Mobile Sells Out Of Nexus 4 Stock Online Hours After Google Adds Link From Play Store

Posted by David Ruddock in News, Nexus 4, T-Mobile

Nexus 4's are a hot commodity at the moment, and it seems T-Mobile is feeling the heat. The carrier, who is the only operator partner for the Nexus 4 in the US, has sold out of handsets online, though your luck at brick and mortar stores might be better. This happened mere hours after Google added a link to T-Mobile's website on the Nexus 4 Play Store listing, which is likely being bombarded with more F5's than Reddit in the late afternoon.
