Maybe some. But most of the folks watching XDA had the Verizon update a week ago. Just came via CWM instead of OTA.

Why does it matter? Verizon's nexus is Officially part of googles AOSP
Plus you guys have way more Jelly Bean Roms then you can Chew.
Everyone on XDA probaly doesn't use OTA's anyway.

True. But Google won't give Verizon the Exclusive or the even the next Nexus because of how poorly handled it is.

Not me. As long as they do it, I don't really care when it happens as long as it's right. If I needed instant gratification, I have the information from this place. It took VZW forEVER to update the LTE Xoom to ICS. When they finally did, it was most excellent and opened the door for even better ROMs. My Xoom is still the best tablet out there and will probably remain as such until the Surface is released.
VZW may take forever but it's more often than not worth the wait. The only reason any other phone can even compare to the original Droid is that it was so soon surpassed in the hardware department. It got updates well into its End Of Life cycle and was the best pure Android device for years. Even the N1 while pure Android was an embarrassment in comparison. The Nexus S (the S is for "Sucks") should get updates for as long as humanly possible. Besides having all of the problems I don't like about this phone (no SD card, usual Samsung fail at cell and GPS radios) and little of the phone that sets the VZW apart as a potentially great phone. (I'd rather have this Nexus or any other VZW phone no matter how pathetic than a phone that could work on the other 3 carriers' networks combined because I still wouldn't have a signal in the areas I use it.) Our Nexus also has lots of storage. It's OK that other carriers and phones get thrown a bone every now and then. When I get better radios for this phone, the only reason I will even consider another phone would be if it offered a completely revolutionary user experience.

Looks like there's more supporting information

I should be used to it by now with dealing with the Droid X on Verizon......but I haven't been able to accept it yet with the Nexus. I think I would be pissed if I hadn't flashed the verizon JB test update last week. I am curious to see if the "official " will be the same build as the this test build. Congrats though Sprint customers!!!!! It sucks feeling like you are left out!!!!

Twiz is the only reason we don't have ics.

The reason it will probably be June is because Samsung is redesigning touchwiz so the next phones to launch also have it. I even think Samsung either has to release it soon or its going to be a long time. Once the nexus is out it is too late. Once the sg3 is out its way too late.
This may be the better phone but I don't even care at this point Samsung always does this crap. It could actually go till September. Point blank I am only buying nexus phones from now on or going to another os. Plus I love how the nexus feels and looks.
Sent from my SPH-D710 using Tapatalk
You argument is a bit premature. Last time I checked only one non nexus device has been updated and that just happened yesterday. It was a tablet too, not a phone. Other than the Nexus devices there is not one single ICS phone being sold that I am aware of. So, you can be mad a Samsung all you want. But, they aren't the one changing the OS every 6 months. There has been 19 Android updates in the 3 1/2 years Android has been available.
You are also not remembering Ice Cream Sandwich has been updated 3 times in 3 months and it still is having problems.
I wouldn't mind a nice update once in a while to keep things fresh. But, Twiz is not the only reason we don't have ICS. If that were the case these leaked roms wouldn't be floating around.
Have some faith in our awesome devs. If it weren't for them, you would be sitting on a stock rom right now.

Yeah most of us will buy a nexus. And the reason its upsetting is because April is a long time from now. And most of the Android phones are HTC and Samsung. Both of these companies are pretty slow to update.
Just watch somehow Samsung will release a phone with ics before this one gets it. Anyway wmim happy sprint is getting the nexus. My gf can have this phone and my dad can get the nexus s which also has ics on it.

Well to buy a GN is a bad move you will be losing much more then gaining.
The GS3 lte should drop in August that will blow away GN
Considering all of this hype for ICS you'd think that it was about the return of Jesus or something.
Its like this with every update. Gingerbread and Froyo was the same way.
On my Epic mobile phone.
I doubt Sprint will hold back the release of ICS for sgs2. 1, If people use their upgrades then they wont have one for the galaxy nexus unless they use someone elses upgrade. 2, it has LTE which the sgs2 doesnt.

Are we guessing here. We don't even know what the sg3 is and second screw touchwiz. Nexus is the best phone out now. I'll buy an iPhone before a buy another galaxy.
Its nexus or nothing else. Tired of Samsung and their awful radios. The hardware of this phone might be better but I'll take a slimmer phone higher Res and pure Google experience any day over anything Samsung can do. We all know in the end Samsung will screw us and not update the phone or take forever

Only thing better on GN hardware wise is the display.....that's it.
GS2 has better Camera ,Speaker , Battery life , processor- Exynos.
SD card is a plus as well.
Device Performance is the same except for ICS not being 3 party app friendly which is another con.

OP has no clue

Gnex or gs3

I know the hardware is better than Gnex but I like stock ics plus the promise of jb soon but the no sd card is a boner killer
What shall I do... I only want to upgrade for lte I'm in the gs2 a great phone but wimax will die soon. I have wimax here but no good in classroom nor work office at home its fine but I'm hardly home.....
Wimax die in 2015
And upgrading to the gnex now would will be pointless when a new nexus phone is coming out this year. "The Gs3 is a great phone" often said by it's users. It come down to what you want its your money.
Long way off indeed but lte will be here way before that

Nexus = Quicker updates
S III = Better hardware
So it's really your choice, but the S III is suppose to get the Jellybean update. Maybe not as soon, but I don't think it'll be too far after.
If you are able to wait until the next Nexus device is available, then it'd be a good idea to hold off upgrading.
well we have cm10 and jb aokp and aosp
So were good on the software side till the next is version
Can you settle for the gnex camera?

If you call retentions, more than likely they'll take care of you. If you're out of contract retentions entire job is to keep you from leaving. The way they could handle this situation is more or less set it up in the system as if you were going to cancel, but locked into another contract... more or less, as if you had cancelled, then signed up as a new customer. In fact, that might be how they'd do it.
Give them a call and try.
Here's a direct, ZERO wait time Sprint retentions hotline number: 866-881-9571

Rethink that. Sprints version of the galaxy nexus is not supported by Google. The sprint version is code named the toroplus, look it up. Good development community though
Sent from my SPH-D710 using Tapatalk 2
I'm not sure that device is any better than what we have now, in fact it might be worse.
I know ICS runs better on it. Smoother In my opinion. My wife has one. I talked to Samsung this morning and according to them Sprint is hustling Epic owners about a bug fix update. The Samsung Supervisor even said it was never recommended that Sprint push the update. She said no update is in the works for this model. The funny thing about it is Samsung says there call lines are flooded with Epic owners having issues and Sprint tells me there are not any problems and I need to take out insurance. That will be a cold day in Hell!

*sigh* and again Verizon's ruins our "Google experience" by being Verizon... I'm sure some (if not all) heard this: Sprint Galaxy Nexus Android 4.2.1 OTA Update (GA02) Available For Download Right Now From Google
I call _ALL_ Verizon customers who owns Galaxy Nexus to go to your Facebook/Twitters account and make a post on Verizon's official page and let them know about it!

true, but hopefully this will speed process up a bit if a lot of people voice their opinion... i mean you can do nothing and just wait or you can say something and then go back to waiting... so I'd rather say something, and if a lot of people start talking they'd start moving too.
from my experience with verizon and the thunderbolt's ICS update...it's not worth the time to hit up the social networks.
they'll just tell you it's coming to silence you then months go by without an update.

I used to have Verizon and now have sprint and struggling with school and full time job I sometimes forget to pay my bill. Verizon financial service cuts my service then makes me pay the re activation fee but with sprint I can call and tell them I can pay next week and they simply say okay.
But no 4g lte sucks but they do update the gnex rather quick.
Its a give or take with your service provider. I don't think there's that perfect provider right now.

Personally custom roms are better but its the principle that makes people go crazy for an update.
Also considering the vzw gnex have antenna issues, some people may actually need the update for the new radios

the beauty about #nexus is that ROM doesn't have any customization which in a lot cases causing instability for every day use, so I'd rather use stock ROM, but back to my HTC Thunderbolt days, I couldn't stand stock so I went w/ CM7 and I _LOVED_ it!

Well good to hear that the Note II is on the list to receive the 5.0 update. Hopefully this also comes with the S4 software updates.

If you click back through to the source of the story, they only list the international models, not the carrier specific models. There is no way to know if Sprint will actually make a release of anything. Based on the device being released just last fall, I'd expect more updates, but I'm never assuming anything until a release has a Sprint model number or RDFs start leaking out.

If Samsung can still be working on the outdated Sprint S2 perfecting Jellybean I don't see why they won't work on Keylime for the Note 2 or S3. Probably the last major updates these two devices get but I can see it coming. After all it seems like trying to stay up with updates is what Samsung has been aiming for the past few years. Doing so good at it I just finished reading a forbes article were even they give props to Samsung for keeping up with updates better than others. On another note I'm tempted to get an S4 after reading about the gaming capabilities. Opinions?

Also if you think about it all Galaxy phones got three major updates.
Galaxy S1 = Eclair -> Froyo -> Gingerbread
Galaxy S2 = Gingerbread -> ICS -> Jellybean
Galaxy S3 = ICS -> Jellybean -> Hmm I wonder if we have a pattern here...

If Samsung can still be working on the outdated Sprint S2 perfecting Jellybean I don't see why they won't work on Keylime for the Note 2 or S3. Probably the last major updates these two devices get but I can see it coming. After all it seems like trying to stay up with updates is what Samsung has been aiming for the past few years. Doing so good at it I just finished reading a forbes article were even they give props to Samsung for keeping up with updates better than others.

If you click back through to the source of the story, they only list the international models, not the carrier specific models. There is no way to know if Sprint will actually make a release of anything. Based on the device being released just last fall, I'd expect more updates, but I'm never assuming anything until a release has a Sprint model number or RDFs start leaking out.

With the international model being darn similar to ours... So long as the modem drivers don't change much it probably wouldn't be too painful to port.

Sprint might but you can bet it will be way behind the others. It always is.
Just think... The epic touch has been seeing jelly bean leaks since November and still no OTA so...

Didn't the Sprint S3 get JB first in the U.S.? I maybe wrong. I can't search it now since I'm grocery shopping with the old lady.

Lol. One of the many, many reasons why I won't but htc ever again! But again like I said the sprint epic touch is one is the last to get jelly bean. It still hasn't but the rest of the world had so yeah I wouldn't and don't expect 5.0 for us sooner than others. It simply won't happen. Never has. But I'm good with the many leaks I'm used to. Hope it continues.

Every phone I have had with Sprint going all the way back to the Samsung Moment was incredibly slow at getting updates.
Well get key lime pie for our l900's we might be last to get it but who cares. Even if sprint don't officially release it, our talented devs can hook us up with some anyways.

Very true. But lately Sprint has been on a roll when it comes to updates. At least we get updates faster than big red phones. Definitely looking forward to see what more amazing things this phone can do.

How are we going to be last? I believe the galaxy S 2 has jb already on sprint. Not officially but team sextape hooked it up. It works amazing on my epic touch. People on the other carriers are still waiting. And like I said earlier the Sprint galaxy s3 received JB first as I recalled. I know sprint and samsung came out with updates late in the past, yet, you can't ignore their recent efforts.

Yes I totally agree with you. Team sextape is amazing and has blessed us with multiple builds on our e4gts But, multiple s2s around the world in many different regions have already had this update pushed out by way of OTA and WE HAVE NOT. Hence why we are last. And will always be LAST. Even Canada has pushed it out and Sprint has not. We only make up so many users on Xda. Most users do not even know what sextape is lol. So that's why we are saying we are last... Because we ARE!

II see your point but I was comparing Sprint to other Us carriers. When it comes to international updates we are far behind unless you have an IPhone. Either way Sprint is getting better when compared to other us carriers.
Agreed. Sprint has gotten better as far as in the US. And like we have mentioned.. We have sextape lol. I've had jelly bean on my e4gt since November of last year. Who the hell knows when it will actually get pushed now with the talk from Sammy about 4.2. But leak they should so for us it really doesn't matter.
