LG's handset division reports $47 million profit for 2012

Lg cannot mass produce the Nexus 4 because then it would be fierce competition with the other OEM's. Remember that Google is also heavily subsidizing the price and with the bang-for-buck value, all the other OEM's phone will have to share the limelight with the Nexus 4. If that were too happen, Google is going to have a bitter relationship with the OEM's. That's why the Nexus 4 keeps going out of stock. That's why you don't get the 300$ price point everywhere and that's why the phone is not being sold yet in my country...

I seriously dont think there's stocking issues because Google wants to make the other OEM's happy. If they did that on purpose.....how do you think that would make LG feel? They're running a business too.

The Nexus brand being popular works out better for Google. Making the manufacture of that phone happy works out better for Google.

With the rumors about the Moto X being sold thru the Play Store.....you really think they are gonna play this game with that phone? It wont be a Nexus I hear....but it is supposed to have the price point.
