Since HTC only make phones, and considering that the invites to the press event were sent to Android Central, it’s a pretty safe bet that they’re about to announce a new Android phone. It’s probably a pretty big release, as they’re hosting two press events in two major cities contemporaneously, and hopefully we’ll get a [...]

To me, white phones always seem cooler than their black counterparts. On that note, we bring you a photo of the back of a phone that looks suspiciously like a Nexus 4, but white. Phone Arena posted this picture from an anonymous source that clearly shows the Nexus branding and distinctive sparkly pattern on the [...]

Today, Google updated the Nexus 4′s page on the Play Store from ‘Sold out’ to ‘Temporarily out of stock’. Google and LG have been working hard to produce more stock of the much-sought-after phone, and considering that the Nexus 4 will be available from Harvey Norman on Friday, and that it’s currently available from Best [...]
