Bad News for UK Google fans, Amazon UK seems to be facing issues with getting the HTC Nexus 9 in stock, the online retailer has just pushed the Nexus 9 shipping date to December,15th. That's a whole month delay... as the tablet was supposed to be released on November,3rd.

Naturally, the slate is also offered on the Google Play Store. There, it is listed to start shipping on November 3, so the setback seems to be affecting only Amazon UK for now. There's no information if other retailers in the country are going to delay the Nexus 9 or if the problem is affecting other countries.

The HTC Nexus 9 Wi-Fi starts at £319 for the 16GB version, and £399 for the 32GB of storage. The Nexus 9 comes with an 8.9-inch 2,048x1,536 touchscreen, an 8 MP rear camera with LED flash, a 1.6 MP front snapper, and it's powered by an Nvidia Tegra K1 chipset, with a 2.3 GHz dual-core CPU.

The Nexus 6 is a big phone, the biggest Nexus Smartphone to date. You can tell that from the display size (5.95"). But nothing drives the point home than watching it being compared with phones that we are already familiar with.

This hands-on with the Nexus 6 and there are two images from the article that are worth focusing on. The first is the image above, where the Nexus 6 (6-inch) sits next to the iPhone 6 Plus (5.5-inch). Now the iPhone 6 Plus is a big phone, but the Nexus 6 isn't that much bigger despite packing half an inch of extra screen.
