GSM version of the cloud-centric Nextbit Robin sells out

The GSM version of the Nextbit Robin is now sold out. A tweet from the company revealed that both the mint and midnight color options of the phone are gone. The unit was priced at $399, and you can go to the website and sign up to receive an email when the handset is back in stock. In the meantime, accessories are still available and are in stock. Just click on the sourcelink to be alerted when the device can be ordered, or to buy a case, a quick charger or a vinyl sheep (which is the company's logo).

The Nextbit Robin is equipped with 32GB of native storage, but also comes with 100GB of cloud storage. Once the phone is close to using up the 32GB of native storage, it detects which apps are used infrequently and sends those apps up to the cloud. Once you tap to open one of the cloud-based apps, it immediately returns to your phone and opens right away.

Besides having a unique design that features front-facing stereo speakers, there is a side-mounted fingerprint scanner. The display measures 5.2-inches and carries a 1080 x 1920 resolution. The Snapdragon 808 SoC is under the hood with a hexa-core CPU, and the Adreno 418 GPU. 3GB of RAM is inside. The camera combo weighs in from back to front at 13MP/5MP, and a 2680mAh battery keeps the lights on.

The GSM unit is compatible with AT&T and T-Mobile's networks. The CDMA model, which is due out in April for the same price, will support Verizon and Sprint's pipelines.
