Seems to be a bit of drama going on between google and verizon over the galaxy nexus, if this isnt just somebody jumping to conclusions.

Sprint needs to improve their network so I can drop VZ.

It shows all CDMA off that list including Nexus S 4G and Xoom so something else is going on. I'm sure they're not dropping support for any phones.

"Update 2: Google has reached out again to say that it incorrectly responded to our initial request for comment — this has nothing to do with Google Wallet, and furthermore, the company will continue to support the Verizon Galaxy Nexus through official firmware updates. Disaster averted."


woot

VZW Nexus is still versions behind the GSM isn't the GSM version on 4.0.4? I'm pretty sure the VZW version is still on release day 4.0.2.

4.0.3 was released for the Nexus S, but subsequently pulled.

Both the LTE and GSM GN's are still officially 4.0.2.

Link includes Google's explanation. Its still supported.

Google wouldn't drop support for the Nexus, it would kill the enthusiasm for the line.

OTA 4.0.3 hasn't even been pushed for it yet, dammit. 😛

Looking at the Android version polls though, there's quite a few rooted Nexus users out there.

I stole this from a poster over @ XDA:

The nexus s 4g and galaxy nexus LTE are still developer phones. The changes to the android support site simply reflect that some CDMA code is closed source, and by building from source "AOSP" there is no correct way to digitally sign these closed source files. Thus Google has decided it made more sense to remove them from the list so someone doesn't build a GSM build for their CDMA phone. <--- sound familiar? Every time a new release is uploaded to AOSP some moron tries this. Our phones are still supported by Google and will continue to be updated. This is to prevent people from doing stupid things to their phone. Custom roms and roms built from source will continue for all nexus devices.

Yeah thread title needs to be edited to reflect what's actually going on.
