Google Edition phone for Verizon

[eRod v1.0]

I'd like to hear your thoughts on this. Do you think we will ever see a Google edition phone for the Verizon network?

No. Verizon has already demonstrated a lack of interest in keeping their phones up to date, even when they did sell what they laughably called a Nexus phone...

If Verizon keeps this up, I'll revise my opinion, but I'm a Thunderbolt owner and still more than a little upset over the long string of broken update promises on that phone.

Not going to happen any time soon...VZW just can't get their act together on the updates.

Verizon strong arms manufacturers and Google so now that won't happen , hell I can see US Cellular or Softbank(Sprint) getting a GE device before Verizon

The same reason we won't see another CDMA Nexus. Maybe in a few years when everything is LTE, and Verizon has less control over that, then we'll be able to buy an LTE phone and put it on any major carrier.

I hope that will happen.

Verizon wants closed devices, network and a high degree of control. High prices, bloated phones, locked boot loaders, no pure Google phone, basically platinum handcuffs.This is the main reason I left them, grabbed a N4 and went to AT&T on a post paid no contract plan.

Not that AT&T is great, but at least its the network tech 99% of the world is on which is where Google will put their efforts for the N5.

Those are all valid complaints, if those are your priorities, then Verizon isn't a good choice at the moment. Once they enable volte and drop CDMA , things might be different

I agree. I also fear that if VZW gets moto x and it is lte and google phone they will somehow lock it down anyway. If you delete their bloat you won't be able to get updates anyway.
