So how long have you been working at Verizon?
I personally don't buy it, especially when you consider that other devices have similar configuration (it's called KitKat and it's been out for awhile). My guess is that it's most likely something more sinister than "network testing". I wouldn't be surprised if it was an attempt at Verizon trying to get into good graces with Apple. I remember one Verizon manager, when the Note 3 was being released stating that Verizon was trying to spread out the release dates to get most out of every release out there, which sounds more like it, typical gouging of its customer base.
I think you have an unhealthy amount of distrust for VZW.
Look, I'm frustrated with the wait, too, but it clearly appears as though you're attaching a completely nefarious intent to the delay. Do you honestly think VZW is in the business of trying to put the interests of other phones and carriers over their own customers and VZW's own economic interests?
Again I've got my own frustrations with VZW , including headphone-gate and delay-gate (ha ha), but assuming that the delay is caused by VZW intentionally screwing over its customers in favor of other companies is a bit "tin-foilish" and illogical. Occam's Razor and all that.
