Great analogy.  It goes a step further, as they would say 'this Dell that we had built for us, because it is 'secure' with our awesome unheardofantivirusprogram that is way better than anything you could buy online.'

In specific I draw attention to VZ Navigator and other Verizon apps, none of which are better than either default google applications, or those you could get for free or at a low price on the Play store.  This is their fall back reason on why they will not allow a device on their network that they do not sell, because it is not 'approved' or 'secure' to work on their network.

Yeah, it won't change.  And i highly doubt it will hurt their bottom line.  I wish it would, but it won't.

It does apply due to fact that Verizon's network operates on those frequency's.

The block C FCC rules only relates to the 700 mHz band 13 frequency.  The Nexus 5 doesn't have that radio band.  How is "Verizon Wireless" restricting a phone that doesn't operate on the frequency that required the other phones to be unlocked?

There's not much more that I can add except that I am also leaving for this phone. It's a shame that verizon doesn't want my money. Perhaps I can convince AT&T to take it.

I just ordered a Nexus 5 and a TMobile sim and will be trying them out for a month.  Assuming their service is at the very least passable I'm kicking Verizon to the curb for both my lines.

What the heck are you doing to go through 69 cell phones in EIGHT years? I have had six phones in ten years.
