Remember a year ago? It's tough, for sure, but right about this time last year, Google introduced its latest Nexus smartphone.

However, some sleuthing and teamwork on the part of posters on the XDA Developers Forum reveals that the number of handsets LG manufactured could be as low as 370,000--70,000 in October, 90,000 in in November, and 210,000 in December.
