I was seriously considering the new LG; however, despite that the screen looks a lot better than the spec would imply I could NOT get over the Verizon attitude. I was planning on an outright purchase so that I could hold out for a Windows 10 flagship and to be honest if I would change my contract to EDGE (from unlimited...which for me is extremely handcuffed as I cannot tether). I cannot deal with Android anymore as my phone has not had an update to fix the problems VZ shipped with the previous 2.
The rep at VZ asked why I was done with Android. I specifically mentioned the updates that VZ holds back on phones, the lack of support for updates and all. This guy actually asked me " where did you read that, we have nothing to do with the software updates." That's a half-truth. They DO have to approve the updates as we all know. He claims to have been in the business for 16 years. He even had the audacity to tell me that he'd never heard that Apple is the only manufacturer that updates the phone (yes, I know...they are technically approved by carriers and discounting Nexus). I mentioned that in theory Windows 10 will also put the updates in the hands of MSFT - to which he replied...sure...if you think Windows 10 is going to be on a phone.
So, not only is VZ biased...their reps are either extremely uninformed or intentionally telling half-truths. Now, not only am I questioning the LG, I'm thinking seriously about bailing from Verizon - their attitude is off the chart.
