It seems to me that Verizon doesn't even really want the Galaxy Nexus or never did. I don't think Verizon can stand the fact the phone is free of all of their bloatware that they love to load down the phones that are on their network. No VZ Navigator or Verizon Video or Verizon Music. They barley advertised the Galaxy Nexus compared to the Motorola Droid Razr family of phones. The fact that the phone has had numerous problems since it was launched and they the fact that 5 months later only their version of the phone is the only one not to be updated to try and correct the issues just shows that the Galaxy Nexus is not high on their list of priorities. They only reason I stayed with Verizon was my unlimited data and because Verizon was suppose to get a Nexus phone phone, but as unlimited data is going away and the Galaxy Nexus is a Nexis in Name only, and I highly doubt that Google will ever launch another Nexus on Verizon after this disaster, I'm going to switch to Sprint or ATT. Both of those offer excellent phone at responsible prices. I know that there is a relatively small percentage of Android users that drool over Nexus phones, but its that small percentage that sway people away from purchasing certain phones. I've already talked a number of people out of getting a Galaxy Nexus at my local Verizon store.
