why phone companies keep launching on verizon?

would it help if we told you verizon was a cell phone provider?

Well thank you for that. I'll also take that as a confirmation you have nothing more than a theory.

Congrats, how observant of you, thank you, for replying back just to reiterate the same thing I just said to you. There's nothing more gratifying than someone implying a person is so dumb they need to be given an explaination on the meaning behind what they just posted.

If Verizon was GSM I would be upset. The fact its different in a lot of way to be tailored to us and the USA's communication system, well that's enough reason for me to understand a delay.

720p + Large screen + LTE + 4GB data? Massive fail ...c'mon Sprint!
(I understand some of you have grandfathered unlimtied data, this doesn't apply to you)

Who do successful corporations please? The majority.

I think you mis-spelled "shareholders" there.

Most people don't think Verizon bungles launches. Hell, most people are probably overjoyed with the Razr, iPhone 4S, and Rezound, and have no idea what the Galaxy Nexus is.

We have a winner. Put the Nexus next to the Razr and show them to the "average" smartphone user. Do you think they'll pick the "Galaxy Nexus" or the "Droid Razr", knowing that the "Droid" moniker denotes Verizon's top of the line phones? Do you think they'll pick the thinnest smartphone around or the relatively thick Nexus that looks a lot like the Galaxy S and SII to the untrained eye?

At this point, it is the only carrier that is also using LTE. A technology that they have had issues with.

I have never ever seen so many cry babies in a forum.

This is nothing. Try reading threads about the DirecTV Tivo that DirecTV has no interest in ever launching. It's been going on for years.

so true... but their 4g speeds and their expansive options in phones make their sales. already missing it. I switched to sprint because of a corporate discount

Or maybe just a Motorola over a Samsung.
