If you've read other posts I've made you'll see I'm not defending them in any way for this. Nor do I think they deserve any empathy for the way they run things. Your comment is exactly what I was trying to address. I guess it came off different than I wanted. I just tried to play nice while typing it up cuz they make it so damn easy to troll their actions. They have a horribly inefficent system in place for the retail end of their biz which is why most of their major releases, and others, are often subject to hange. That is being showcased at the moment in their partnership w/ Samsung & Google on the SCH-i515. This release was scheduled to have an earlier launch w/ Verizon. No one should be looking towards anyone to blame but Big Red as why that was changed.
Screen quality - I'm the wrong person to ask since I think the whole Pentile debate is overblown, it looked just fine to me esp when looking at pictures taken.
Remember, the Nexus Galaxy is not expected to be a big seller because Verizon doesn't get any extra money for all their usual bloatware. Verizon doesn't care about the geeks because it is less than 1% of their user base. They are going to sell a ton of RAZRs and Rezounds. Also, since Verizon hasn't made any release announcements means the phone can't be late so saying Verizon doesn't know how to manage their releases is just your interpretation of a staggered release date. Quite frankly, after not having very much choice in high end phones relative to the other carriers I am ecstatic about getting three high end, dual core, qHD/HD screen LTE superphones. Just because each phone is not coming out according to your schedule does not mean Verizon is clueless (even though they may be). I think most of you people will pick up one of these and still whine about something. When the phone is officially announced you can start planning your purchases. As for me (I've been waiting since June to find the right phone) I will wait to all three are out and pick the one that best suits me. You should do the same.
It's a shame that the Nexus goes to a carrier who clearly couldn't care less about it. Sprint has had the best Android phones and deserved to be the Nexus launch partner, but Google were possibly swayed by Verizon's name and marketing. I'm sure VZW is mad they can't cripple they phone with their usual crapware and charge us all extra to get a 'deluxe' version of the phone with pure ICS.

Verizon users deserve it.
Yes.
Verizon shot the pretty little unicorn named Nexus One as it was running to me to, ready to eat the fresh green tender from my hands. They tried to make it better and replaced it with a robotic pony they called "DROID" Incredible. While great, it just wasn't the same.
The Galaxy Nexus is that legendary unicorn's grandchild.
Shhhh.... don't you worry, little GN. I'm here now... it's ok, I'll make it all better.
This is a man who is going to have it sleep next to him, on its own special pillow.
