None of the CDMA carriers got any love (Verizon, Sprint, US Cellular, etc). The very nature of CDMA runs counter to Google's vision of a completely open and unlocked device environment. Google tried that route with the Galaxy Nexus on both Verizon and Sprint and got burned big time between os updates and Verizon blocking Google Wallet. Until they open up their networks, don't expect Google to give them much love with their Nexus project or Google Edition phones.

Well once everything goes over LTE, which could be in a few years, Verizon won't have a choice because of the conditions that they acquired their spectrum supposedly must be left open in that way.
