No, because this is a GSM phone so it won’t work on Verizon.

Ummm, no. You *should* be able to use a GoPhone or T-Mobile Prepaid SIM with it, tho.

Bottomline folks CDMA technology is hurting our Gnex when it comes to basic updates. We on Verizon have had our gnex since Dec 15 2011 since NO updates. The GSM version on at&t is rolling with 4.0.4 and sprint verison is running 4.0.3 while on verizon we are on 4.0.2 what gives. Well the pure truth was given to us on google plus stating that the GSM version will be the first to get jellybean in probanly november and that was before finding out the google play store was open to selling the gsm version for 399.00. Verizon is preventing google from sending updates to our devices. Enough is enough of this verizon garbage they will never see another nexus device again that”s for sure. And with having the option of purchasing another gnex directly from the playstore which will get updates directly from google only i will sell my gnex on verizon and take my chance of going with tmo i will wait for the announcement of the Galaxy Note 2 with ice cream sandwich then make my change. Cdma technology is no good time for a change.

I lived in Pinellas county for years and can say that AT$Ts coverage was terrrible and spotty at best. Verizon may be seen as the devil by some, but I can go just about anywhere and not only use my phone, but access my cloud services as well. And that’s just on the 3g service. AT$T just won’t buy the expensive land to put up their towers. Verizon pays out the bucks to get their signal out.

Who said the majority of Android phones were rooted? I said the majority of phones running ICS were most likely a combination of SGII and rooted phones. You should learn to stay on topic.

This price just proves how much Verizon is ripping us off. If they gave us the same $ subsidy on our G-nexus devices at launch we should have gotten them for free rather than the $300 we paid.

buying from Google is the cheapest way to get the Galaxy Nexus now off contract.

They should also post their updates here too for Verizon’s gnex that way people can also get timely updates. I think that would make alot of people happy.
