Is that entirely true? I can run the extract-files.sh script, have it pull the proprietary files that are mentioned in post, build and radio with all other functions are working fine. Or does that not make it a "pure" AOSP build? The files are still signed by Verizon and everything works.
Who will be pushing updates to the Galaxy Nexus LTE device now, Google or Verizon? Will they be released at the same time as the GSM models or a slight delay like the Nexus S 4G getting ICS after the GSM model?
Just curious...
I will post a longer explanation as soon as I get a chance, but until
I do I want to emphasize one thing: the only affected aspect is the
support for AOSP builds, i.e. building Android from source code and
installing it on those devices. Other aspects are unaffected.

It was stated that some of the files needed will be provided but the
same day that was stated the files were removed from the drivers page,
why? Does Google not have the license from Verizon to distribute them?
OK that was two questions...
Thanks once again!

Verizon and Google should make it right to Consumers. Give option for
different device or money back and no ETF fee.
You can use any phone to develop apps on, even the most locked down
Moto phone so I don't see how this can still be considered a dev
phone.
We should have seen this coming, some of us did, when Verizon was
allowed to put crapware on the phone and have the Verizon logo on the
back instead of the Google logo.
Of course if you go into your local Verizon store or call customer
service they will have no idea on what you are talking about if you
happen to mention this. So consumers get the short end of the stick
again.
This is what stinks about having phones exclusive for one carrier.
People on Verizon have been waiting for a Nexus phone since the Nexus
One dropped and now they get stiffed a couple of months after release.
