All this being said - for me, it's also a matter of principle. Galaxy Nexus is touted as "the flagship". It is supposed to receive all updates first, WHEN MADE AVAILABLE BY GOOGLE. Whether or not ANYONE thinks these updates are significant or not is irrelevant. The biggest appeal with Android is the fact that it's MY device, and I should be able to get / install these updates when I see fit. I do not knock Verizon for service, but this carrier squabbling (Verizon isn't the only one) has got to stop. It flies directly in the face of Android's open-source, user-controlled philosophy. I don't want to have to (removed to comply with VZW Community ToS) my device to keep pace - it shouldn't have to come to that.
