So which Android phone do you buy if you want unsubsidized on Verizon/LTE? Sincere question.
- bmeckel 13y agoI don't think it's really an option at this point. The point the article is making is that you won't get stock android from anything but a phone sold to you by Google, and since the Nexus 4 isn't offered on Verizon, you're kind of out of luck in that department. Personally I'm an iOS guy, but isn't conventional wisdom to stick with the Galaxy S at this point on Verizon? They do seem very solid.
- shardling 13y agoI'm perfectly happy with my Galaxy Nexus -- while it was subsidized, its not locked down in any way. I've had it for about a year and a half with no problems.
- drivebyacct2 13y agoYup. I was a phone addict. I look back now with Android 4 and my Galaxy Nexus CDMA and feel silly for caring that much. My phone is so good now, I have no need for "faster", I'll get the Android updates via CM anyway and the phone has held up physically spectacularly.

- jonpaul 13y agoCorrect me if I'm wrong, I thought the Galaxy Nexus wasn't on Verizon? I also thought that it didn't support LTE? Is that correct?
- shardling 13y agoYou're wrong. I'm on Verizon, and I get excellent LTE speeds with the GNex. (It's possible you can't currently buy the phone on contract, but it certainly works!)
