I think you mean PadFone, and yes it was released. In fact there is even a PadFone 2. Also, there is a cellular version of the Nexus 7 now.

What do you expect? Verizon Wireless, Too Big to Care…

Verizon Wireless doesn’t give a $#*& about what customers want. It’s all about revenue. They figure people will still buy the phone so why put any effort into improvements. I can’t wait for Google to come out with their own wireless system.

Good idea. Then we would be stuck with verizon’s half ass attempt at their own market. We could download vzw navigator, isis, and vzw tones. Woo-hoo!

We need to make Verizon feel some pain so they push this update through.

Everyone should call Verizon once a day and ask for the update.

Ask to talk to a manager, go as high as you can go each time.

That Nexus only sold like 1% of what the iPhone did.

The big thing Apple has is “Well then you can’t have our phone”. NO carrier is going to do that anymore, due to sales. Google can’t pull the same thing because the Nexus line doesn’t sell much, and it’s up to other OEMs to do so for their product (which Samsung is finally beginning to have the power to due thanks to their huge success with the S line).

No wonder Google switched to T-Mobile for Nexus 4. Then again you don’t get any updates on that end either..so..?

It’s true Verizon is delayed, but you can’t count the third digit up dates. The CDMA builds have different third digits than GSM. The VZW load will be one digit higher than the most recent 4.2.x when it drops.

Just unlock the boot loader and root. Latest OS in 5 to 10 minutes.

Correct, VZW was never offered the iPhone – it was ATT from Day1.

The 4.2.1 binaries (hardware drivers, basically) are available for toro, but not the factory image.
