Funny, I was going to say that too, but I figured you'd run off if I did.
Who me? I'm here to stay now! Another week off work!

1. *Pokes in head*
2. *Pays Verizon too much for service*
3. *Owns the best LTE Android phone on the market and is unwilling to even field discussion on this subject*
4. Here is the deal...
...Verizon and poor Sprint use "closed" wireless tech (700 MHz LTE spectrum is touted as open but VZW's CDMA trumps most provisions of it's holding of this generation's 4G; Sprint is crud and basically has the same hiccups.) and therefore intrude upon Google's vision of the ideal smartphone OS.
5. #4 is troubling because as a VZW Galaxy Nexus Owner I am aware of the delays dealt to me because if this proprietary stalemate. But because I rise above, via custom ROM, etc, I am largely unaffected.
6. Nexus devices, including the VZW Galaxy Nexus, are considered dev devices.
7. Why wouldn't Google challenge the status quo?
8. Goggle's experience with Nexus devices on legacy CDMA networks has left a bad taste in their mouth.
9. Result: No LTE Nexus this time.
10. This is a horrible choice. Over 300M ATT/VZW customers have no LTE option for a Nexus. Google, your arrogance has failed your vision.
11. Enjoy your GS3's. Yes you can root and ROM away the skin of TouchWiz but it is not a Nexus. I say this not to make fun but to point out the tragedy of the Nexus Program!
12. I have the only 4G LTE Nexus phone on the market. 4.1.2 with impending 4.2.
14. I am grateful!

Mine tasted like dough and tomatoe sauce. I had to wash it down with water after every bite. THIS IS A GOOD EXAMPLE OF WHAT HAPPENS WHEN THE WIFEY DOESN'T COOK!

1 Yup
2 Yup
3 Pretty much
4 The monkey rigged GSM equipment on the CDMA 2000 network and the radios in the Nexus = not good
5 Yup
6 Um, no / yes? The CDMA version was removed from AOSP and was deemed as not a true "Nexus Device" / Was later reinstated as such? There was a huge stink about Google not officially supporting the CDMA version of the device. I can't remember if they changed their stance,
7 They pulled an Apple...
8 Agree (7)
9 Yup (7, 8)
10 I have to say disagree with you on this one. GSM is a HUGE network and, not only that, HSPA+ runs on that network. Sure, LTE speeds will destroy HSPA+ speeds. Sure, they could put an LTE radio in the thing for the people that do, but at the cost of battery while your phone searches for that LTE signal. Sure, you can turn it off, but then it become a moot point. I think Google seen the issue of the LTE in the nexus and figured it would go with more of a sure thing. A more stable GSM network (with HSPA+) with more towers and larger customer base. The Nexus 4 should work pretty much anywhere GSM is. LTE? Not a large enough market (7). In an area with no LTE? Well, your phone is on 3G anyway. At least with GSM HSPA+ is a middle ground. With my (your wife's nexus (which I hope she is enjoying
)) It was either LTE or 3g and in my area I had horrid 3g service (area) not even getting 1mbps down. I rarely see my S3 on 3G and if it is, it quickly changes. My download speeds, range from about 3-8mbps. On old network equipment. Sure, not some raging 30mpbs+ but still decent. I rather have 3mbps then 300kbps. Once again, location dependent. Since I went back to stock on my S3, the battery last two days
Though I am sure I can kill it in a few hours. I think Google was smart with this one. Larger network, larger customer base.
11. I agree. The S3 is NOT a nexus. Aside from the skin and bloat, its still pretty much the same as a nexus. Okay, not quite. Its not official supported by AOSP. But still
12 Yup
