Hey everyone,
I've been a Nexus user for a few years and am thinking about jumping ship to the V10. I've been out of the "buy a phone from a carrier" game for a while and a lot has changed since the last time I did it. I plan to move to Verizon when I buy the phone so I'm slightly annoyed that it's coming out on other carriers first. Here are my questions:
- Is it typical for Verizon to launch these phones later than other carriers? I feel like they are probably obligated to keep the focus on the new Droid phones for a couple days, but I find it strange that they would put themselves at a disadvantage in terms of not even allowing pre-orders yet.
- Is there any way to got a version of this phone that isn't locked to a single carrier? My last several phone purchases (for myself and for family) all came through the Google Store. I don't really care about the physical branding on the phone, just whether it could work on other carriers if it had to.
- For you big LG fans, do you expect that the new Watch Urbane 2 will be launched soon and perhaps be packaged in a deal with the V10? They were being marketed together so I'm a little surprised that they aren't being launched together.
Thanks for your thoughts!
