Verizon blew the Google relationship with the LTE Galaxy Nexus. It was the flagship Google device at the time but Verizon decided to block Google Wallet on it. Then Verizon held back the Jelly Bean updates for months, which is something that isn't supposed to happen on "Nexus" devices. I think since then Google has learned their lesson and steered clear of partnering with Verizon for anything.
