Verizon not getting the nexus would not hurt them that much. They have been doing fine without it for awhile now and plus how do you know verizon won't get the sgs3 that they can bloat up? If verizon wanted to release it so bad then why all these rumors that the dates keep changing for phones that they can bloat up?

Your missing my point. >>> Why would Verizon piss off Google for one????
I did not say they wanted to release it so bad, which has nothing to do with it anyway.
 
I don't want buyer's remorse, I just want them to step up to the plate like they did with the OG Droid and give out reliable information on the release and pricing. Maybe they are going to sell it soooo cheap that it will kill the fruit phone...

Interesting thought and a big dream. SGN for only $199 and under contract only $49.99. Ah the power of dreams!!!

I dont know if that would really piss off google. It isnt like they are stop selling android phones all together. Everyone puts so much onto well google would be mad and all this. How about verizon was the one who essentially put android on the map and just like they did with the iphone for years they showed they want everything their way and will show favoritism to those who they can load their crap on to.
 
Verizons whole existence is based on the same as any other company, to make as much money as possible. The Nexus is going to make them money. Will the string us along a little to play on our emotions? Yes. Will they release two other phones with more money making opportunities for them beforehand to try and pick off the weak? Yes. But in the end, they will release this phone, and they will do whats necessary to make the most money.

The thing is they make more money off the plans anyway so why not launch the 3 phones same time and try and lure in more customers? The longer they wait at&t is rolling out their lte and getting 2 devices next week that will lock down more customers. They had a chance to release or atleast open preorders the 3rd and steal some customers from other carriers but they choose to wait and ultimately lose some of the potential customers they could have had.

It's a valid question. I agree if it is ready for release holding it back only costs them money. But there are so many things that have to be just right, ESPECIALLY for verizon. So who knows.

After all the supposed in house testing and then releasing half assed updates and certain phones cough thunderbolt cough there are many times when verizon seemingly lets things slip through the cracks only to recall after the damage is done.

Plus it will get ICS and then all the nexus has over it is the hd screen. Both will be good phones but to say 1 phone will be the phone of the year is hard to do with android phones when something new is out every other week.

Man, I would hate to be waiting for ICS from Samsung here in the states. That is Snickers commercial for sure. gonna be a while?
