The Nexus 4 is currently one of the hardest smartphones to get hold of. Following its launch last November, it sold out within just a few hours, and it’s been selling just as fast ever since. When new stock arrives in Google Play, it doesn’t stick around for very long. If you’re one of the many who are still waiting to get your hands on one, you’ll be pleased to know that T-Mobile now has the device in stock again. But you may not want to hang around too long.

Google’s new Nexus 4 has been a hugely popular device since it first made its debut back in November, but the apparent supply issues surrounding the Galaxy Nexus successor have been well documented. Many would-be customers have been unable to snap up the device due to the short supply, while those who have have been forced to wait up to six weeks for their handset to arrive from Google Play.

What isn’t clear is why the Nexus 4 is so hard to get hold of. Some reports have speculated that LG simply cannot produce enough to meet the overwhelming demand, while others claim Google just didn’t order enough in the first place. So what is the truth behind the Nexus 4? Cathy Robin, director of LG France’s Mobile Communication division, has revealed all.
