I read somewhere that if I unlock the bootloader and root the GNex that I will be able to get Jelly Bean before Verizon Wireless pushes it. Does that mean, I have to download Jelly Bean roms or will I receive it directly from Google instead of Verizon Wireless?
Also, why is the GNex advertised as getting updates directly from Google when I have to wait for Verizon Wireless to push the update to me? That would mean, the update does not come directly from Google. If it did come directly from Google, then the update would happen like the iPhone.
If Apple can push updates whenever they want, then there is absolutely no legit reason why other mobile OS's have to wait on the whim of a carrier.
