No Verizon Samsung Galaxy S2

I just read that Verizon is not going to be getting the Galaxy S2. I've been waiting for this phone for months. I plan on getting this phone, even if I have to switch wireless providers.

I see all these posts about the Samsung S2 not coming to VZW.

Isn't Samsung the company eveyone was upset with for not pushing Android updates unless VZW paid them for every phone that received it and swore they would neve buy another????

I always got the lower performance cell phone from verizon. No evo 3d in verizon and no LG optimus and no HTC sensation. Verizon is always backward technique in handset terminal.

Actually rumor has it Verizon IS getting the S2, but it's not part of the family. Look up Nexus Prime which is rumored to go to Verizon first.

If you want the actually Galaxy name... You will have to go to another provider, but if you just want the hardware well get the Nexus Prime.

My 2 years contract has been due now. when can I get the nexus prime? Who believe the nexus prime will be in verizon? Two months ago I was waiting for the S2. Now I can not get it in verizon.

I guess that by finding myself in this forum when my area doesn't even have 4G yet, I really have too much time on my hands... For a minute.. :smileyhappy:

A couple of things... First, no ma'am, they should not bring that SGS2 to Verizon. The current versions are NOT 4G LTE capable. What AT& T, Sprint, and Tmobile call 4G is laughable. And while nothing is confirmed, the reports of the Prime and the SGS2 that is indeed 4G LTE are going to turn into something better than those versions headed for those other 3 loser carriers (speaking from experience there). Verizon is "supposed " to have 100% LTE coverage by 2013 sometime. So where is the logic in offering a phone that isn't capable of fully utilizing what its network offers, or will offer?

Second, to those proclaiming this mass exodus by customers wanting an already -outdated phone (which doesn't explain the silly rhetoric about the Bionic, but that's another post that I don't have time for), where is your marketing research to back up those theories? Verizon (or any successful business) can't base business decisions on people's knee-jerk reactions (although Apple could be a notable exception). My guess is that they have something better up their sleeve.

Really, just take a deep breath and see what happens in the coming weeks. Or not.
