I do hope complaining will make a difference. Would I switch carriers just for Wallet? Not a chance. But I was already considering switching to a carrier with much more attractive family data plans, and that does not cripple their phones. I have been sticking with Verizon in anticipation that they would be offering the next pure Android phone. Now they have announced that they are departing from that, going back to their old ways of crippling phones for marketing purposes.
I am reluctant to commit to two new 2 year contracts for a phone for which they will be blocking functions.
Why do you consider it inappropriate to complain about that?
I see the point of wanting a good rate plan to cover what you are using like the family plans but I do not understand what is meant about Verizon crippling devices, I have not seen any different functionality that other carriers are offing over another, they all have basically the same devices and the functionality and to think one company is crippling a device more than others simply isn't a sound opinion.
Now as for consider it inappropriate to complain, I am not meaning anything disrespectful but it simply amazes me the things that users complain and choose to fight for these days, the world has so many things going bad and people are starving in numerous areas of the world but so many people think that life will end if they don't have a simple feature on a cellphone that will lose its newness appeal in less than a month
Just shows where or world it going and its becoming kind of sad.

______________________________________________________________________ I would be more reluctant to sign another 2 year contract on what is shaping up to be another Android disappointment, based on early threads in the Nexus section. Let me go out on a limb and say that if Google Wallet WAS on the Nexus, there would be those complaining it is unwanted bloat, doesn't work right, or Verizon has somehow "changed" it. Makes for entertaining reading, though.
According to the Google Play, it's greatest support is by Sprint, followed by AT&T and T-Mobile, and Virgin.
I seriously hope this is for a limited time, as I too was looking forward to using NFC for purchases, and that was one of the selling points for me when I upgraded to an SIII. Had I known that I would not be able to use a Google application on a Google phone to use a Google product, I may have held off on my purchase.
