Google released the Nexus 4 smartphone at crazy low prices in either 8gb or 16gb varieties. As soon as the page went live it was out of stock.

This meant either stock levels were restrictive or it’s just sold millions and despite lacking an lte radio. Well some clever person at xda developers has worked out the actual numbers.

It is estimated that Google sold 375,000 Nexus 4 handsets. So is that number disappointing? I think so but considering how dreadful Google’s sales, logistics and customer service is, it’s not surprising these numbers are poor. Google need to take a leaf out of Apple’s book.

Personally after receiving shoddy Nexus 7 tablets and the worst after customer service, I would ever buy hardware direct from Google.
