The wait for the Verizon Galaxy Nexus Android 4.1 update release date has begun and I hope it will end soon.

And so it has begun...
I'm most definitely NOT a VZW employee. If a post answered your question, please mark it as the answer.

Of course it begins. The Nexus is a Google Experience phone and is supposed to be subject to updates as quickly as they're released. As we know, VZW delays the update due to their internal testing. It's a mistake to believe people aren't anxious to receive OS updates in a timely manner - especially when that's one of the main reasons people bought a Nexus. So yes, it begins, as it should!

That was my understanding when I bought my Galaxy Nexus. Had I known then what I know now I would have waited for Google to release their GSM phones and gone to TMo.
In a way though I blame Google for not being more stern with Verizon. They should have never agreed to let Verizon add to the Nexus experience. And by add I mean take away. Apple doesn't let this happen with the iPhone. Google should have the same stance when it comes to the Nexus.

Does anyone think that Verizon can/should be taken to court for false advertisment?
After all, when you buy a Nexus phone the understanding is that because is a Nexus, there will be no intervention from the carrier (Pure Android Experience). So since Verizon did not changed the name of the phone it seems to me that they were attracting costumers with the Nexus name. Again, Nexus means no intervention from the carrier or anyone else which is not the case with Verizon's GN... false advertisement...

Is this going to be another fiasco like the 4.0.4 update? You think Verizon would have learned their lesson by now ...

I just got JB on my GSM Nexus and it is nice! I'm not giving my final verdict yet because I haven't finished testing it yet.
I hope your wait isn't long!

I hope our wait isn't long too. One would think that Verizon wouldn't want, and by action encourage, a bad reputation on something that should be pretty simple for them.
Still hopeful...

uhm...you may want to re-read that contract. No part of the contract requires Verizon to provide a single update. Any updates they do provide is a privilege, not a right.

Not even the Timely Updates Agreement, announced at Google I/O 2011, is any sort of legal obligation for software updates.

Timely is subjective. The promise is from Google and not the actually manufacturers or carriers. When it comes to software it is never timely.

Wrong. BOTH the carriers AND the manufacturers made the agreement with Google. And timely is NOT subjective, since they define it in the agreement as being any updates to the OS released in the first eighteen months of a device's availability, so long as the hardware can support it. It's not legally-binding, obviously, but they're all on the record as having agreed to it.

When I purchased my phone at the Verizon Wireless store, (switched from AT&T), I was verbally told by the manager of that store that since the Google Nexus was a "pure Google phone" that I would receive updates directly from Google as soon as the updates were available. This was stated in the presence of two witnesses. I would call that a "verbal contract" and can hold, if not Verizon at least the store manager, to that contract.

From the Customer Agreement:
"This agreement and the documents it incorporates form the entire agreement between us. You can't rely on any other documents, or on what's said by any sales or customer service representatives, and you have no other rights regarding Service or this agreement."
