Consider what a direct from Google Galaxy Nexus does and what a Verizon Galaxy Nexus is allow to do, Verizon should really consider renaming their device to avoid confusion. It really should be called the Verizon Samsung Galaxy Notus and here's why.
Who has timely OS releases directly from Google WITH DATES? Not us.
Who has an official Jelly Bean update released and running on their hardware? Not us.
Who has official Google Wallet support? Not us.
Who has a pure GED without preloaded carrier bloat? Not us.
I'm sure there are others, but you get the idea.
