If that's true then it just shows once again Verizon crippling something that could have been great.
I wouldn't say this is VZW's fault at all.
A lot of this could be a combination of things:
- VZW Wants a nice, sexy Galaxy II phone out sooner before later
- Samsung doesn't yet have/perfected the LTE Galaxy II
- Samsung has the LTE Galaxy II but is in the process of shopping it to the highest bidding carrier for an exclusive deal.
VZW benefits from having stuff on their LTE network. It's fast, it makes them look good, it's the way they are going. All their plans if you look over them in their entirety are geared towards moving people to it.
VZW's style is more about putting unremovable up-your-arseware on their phones. This is a practice I really and truly wish they'd stop. If I want an app, I'll buy the darn thing.. if not, I want it gone.
