The Nexus name doesn't mean as much as it used to. Not all Nexus devices offer a pure Android experience - the Verizon version of Nexus will not have Google Wallet. In term of timely updates, the HTC Sensation received ICS update in March 2012 while the Sprint Nexus S 4G was not updated until early April.
So take that for what its worth. Don't be surprised if Google ends up allowing carriers and manufacturers to provide more customization with Nexus phones and be more lax with update timelines.

- jarek 14y agoI bought an unlocked, contract free Nexus One and still ended up with un-removable useless Amazon MP3 and Facebook and Google Play Books and Google Voice apps on my phone :(

- streeter 14y agoThe lack of Google Wallet on the VZW is not because of a carrier restriction. It's a hardware issue with the VZW CDMA model of the phone.
