Some folks say yes, some no. I will buy the phone only with VZW, I don't want neither TMO nor ATT anymore because both suck! If VZW is not getting it, I will go there and take a 2-yr contract with a Galaxy Nexus for $50. Just need a confirmation that they're not getting it.

No confirmation till its announced, but I would be VERY surprised.

Do you think they will announce it some time around the date of the release? How long after the release of GNex did they announce a version for VZW, I can't remember...??

The GNex premiered as an exclusive on Verizon.

I just cannot see Google giving up the biggest, best network in America. The Nexus brand is dead to a lot of people if its not on Verizon. I love my gnex. I keep saying it but.....My Verizon gnex can do anything a gsm gnex can do.....just at much faster 4g speeds with 32 GB of storage on a superior network.....because it is a Nexus their has been tons of community support to take care of the few issues Verizon has screwed up........Google would be stupid not to release this on Verizon.

I totally agree. I love how people on pre pay or AT&T/Tmo complain about VZW gnex, but those of us on Verizon aren't as much. Sure the updates took 8-12 weeks more, but that was still way ahead of any other android on Big Red. If people can't be patient, then you are free to get an unlocked version, but why advocate to nt have a VZW version? What do you care if others are fine waiting?
 
I'm ok with it being on Verizon if it doesn't delay it releasing in any other form in the US.

That being said, I wouldn't hold my breath on a Verizon version.
 
This is the main reason why I think its a great idea to have multiple nexus devices......then all carriers will have a nexus to offer. Its stupid that one carrier gets the phone. Open it up so that its almost like a certification ... like THX or whatever.

Why does this require multiple Nexus devices? Why not just Sprint version, Verizon version etc. as with the Galaxy Nexus?

I don't like multiple Nexuses solution. I dont see the point. Make one for all carriers like last time. I dont care if LG makes it, Samsung or HTC, I don't even care for physical appearance as long as it has good features and can be competitive to GSIII....

Whats wrong with more options? Some people like a big phone...some like small, some people like Motorola...some don't...etc etc etc. Also, not all carriers got the current Nexus at first and I could be wrong but not all previous Nexus devices were on every carrier.
 
I'd hope the Nexus 4 comes out on big red. Otherwise, Google is alienating way too many potential customers.

What are the chances of an unlocked CDMA device? eh? eh? 0%? -5%?

It can be unlocked, but that doesn't mean you can just get it to work (the unlocked part would be the GSM radios). Verizon and Sprint won't let you just turn a phone on and have it work, they will have to provision it for it to work.

Network is superior, but updates are a bit slower and stupid things like Wallet not being supported, granted there are simple workarounds.

Personally, I'll be looking hard at ATT / Tmobile when my VZW contract ends in December 2013.
 
The Galaxy Nexus page on Google+ yesterday said, "Happy birthday +Galaxy Nexus, you were born one year ago, on October 19th. Soon you are going to meet your younger brother(s) ;)" which to me doesn't mean more than one OEM, it means more than one version of the same phone. Maybe one of those versions will be the Verizon LTE model? Only time will tell.

That's just some guy's page, not "The" Galaxy Nexus page.
