Meanwhile, commenting on the hiccup, the Nexus team mentioned in GPlus that “There’s been so much interest for the Nexus line-up that we’ve sold out of some of our initial stock in a few countries. We are working hard to add more Nexus devices to Google Play in the coming weeks to keep up with the high demand’’.

The Nexus 4 is really great value for money. It’s a shame that demand still seems to be greater than supply. A lot of people out there are willing to part with their money for the Nexus 4 and Google just aren’t taking advantage of this fact.
I think Google haven’t thought that they will have this kind of demand for their smartphone and that is why they are not ready to fulfill customers requirements. Still it is a great thing to here about Google smart phone that in this though smartphone market they are having the good demand. I hope it will rock the smartphone market again.
The reason the Nexus 4 sparked my interest was the feature of gesture typing technology. It makes writing messages too easy. Just move your fingers over letters to compose emails or texts in a snap. I would highly recommend looking into this phone.
