I wish I could say I'm surprised, yet this is a typical Verizon move. Great network, but they really mess up with the phone selection. The writing has probably been up on the wall for a while. We haven't seen a thing about a Verizon S2, while all the versions with the other carriers have been outed.
I would probably be livid right now if it weren't for the fact that I had already decided I was going to have to put off my phone upgrade because of my car repairs. I can't stand my Storm, but it is still functional enough that I can keep using it.
Maybe the bright side is what others have mentioned, maybe it is a hint that Verizon will be getting the Prime and that is why they passed on the S2. The two are very similar with the Prime just having some upgrades in certain specs, I just wish the Prime had the 8 MP camera. Guess we will have to wait and see. I do believe that we won't see the Prime until November at the earliest.
Always possible this report is wrong, at least we will know on Monday. I think given the lack of info on a Verizon version, we are not going to be happy with the official announcement.
