Sprint Galaxy Nexus with G. Wallet?

Why is that?

I don't like messing with my phone in order to get one app thats why I haven't rooted yet.

Well, this is the Verizon Nexus forum... I can't speak for the Sprint version but you have to root to get it on the Verizon Nexus. No way around it.

Yeah, I know that. But what could have possibly caused Verizon not to allow it to be on the market? It looks like Sprint had no problem allowing it.

Verizon has a deal with a competing platform for NFC payments

I am not rooted and I have Google Wallet on my LTE Galaxy Nexus. I just installed the apk.

Thats not true. There are ways around it. Lots of unrooted people are running Google wallet with no issues.

Try this method if you want to install Wallet on a non-rooted phone. It worked for me last night, so i know the method is still an option. Granted some users have issues with it, but not everyone.

When I first got my nexus I used my nexus s 4g with ics and beamed the market link to my galaxy nexus and the app installed no problem. I was also stock not rooted.

I'm not rooted and I have it. downloaded the .apk shortly after I got the phone, and then later used the trick with the market to get it to download from there so now it automatically updates too.
