Nexus 5, the much talked about Google phone, that had been listed on the Play Store since last month is now available for purchase through Google Play (Google's online store) as well as from local retailers.
Google may have underestimated demand for its flagship Nexus 5 phone as it ran out of stock within hours of listing for sale in India. Shortly after the devices went on sale, the Google Play store displays the message: "We are out of stock. Please check back soon."
The sales number could not be ascertained.
The

LG, is also pushing sales . Here, the 16GB variant costs Rs 1,000 more, being priced at Rs 29,990. However, very few units have been shipped in yet.
