Interesting, on the VZW news website is the following headline for a phone being released tomorrow

Nothing bout the Galaxy

"Petulant"? That's a little abstruse, or recondite, don't you think? I think "acting like a spoiled child" is more appropriate.

Well, I actually got an email from VZW at 12:12 am saying that the Galaxy Nexus phone was available. The press release isn't on the news release page. However, it is definitely available in the list of smartphones for sale.

I played with one in the store today, and after about ten minutes, and not being able to find the option for swype, I wonder if this really will be my next phone come January? It really seems "meh."

Swype isn't compatible with the Galaxy Nexus' screen resolution yet.  Swype is working on the update, but it will be available as a beta.  I doubt that it would ever be preinstalled on a Nexus phone, unless Google bought them.

[Ann154]

Swype should just release their application in the Android Market. Between the endless beta for the phones without the application pre-installed and the pre-installed version being several versions behind the beta. Ugh!

At this point, I will never end up ever trying Swype. Not even the beta program.

[21stNow]

Swype said that they don't have enough people to offer support so that the app can be in the Android Market.  Also, they have this problem quite often where it takes a while for them to update the app for new OS versions, or new phones.  Some of it is a knock on Swype.  Some of it is the knock on Android device manufacturers for having so many different hardware and software configurations.  The same choice that we, as customers, like about the absolute plethora of devices available make it hard for app developers to keep up and have good performance on 80-100 phones.
