I call bullhockey... Anybody remember the Samsung galaxy nexus and the way google support got cut off not even 3 months after the phone was released?

Oh h3ll no ...I'm not falling for it a second time especially with HTC as the Manufacturer and their history of lagging behind on updates

Anything that's made by humans can be unmade just as easy. Don't believe the hype. Where there is a will there is always a way.
Researchers crack the world’s toughest encryption by listening to the tiny sounds made by your computer’s CPU | ExtremeTech
That 4k encryption was busted 3 years ago. Imagine what they can do today. There is a reason that cellebrite(Israeli data extraction specialists) can decrypt any phone/data/algorithm in the world.

Again if you think you are secure, you are but only until you get attention of the unwanted party.
Yeah except that requires very specific hardware software AND access to the actual device doing the encryption... you'd have to get into wherever the phone bootloader was encrypted and some time... is it possible? sure? it it likely? no.

I agree, nothing is ever safe, pirates and hackers will ALWAYS find a way. But with a phone will it be worth it? Remember the droid bionic, razr etc.

I don't believe them and even if they put it in writing AND tattooed it on the foreheads of vzw employees - I wouldn't believe it.

I believe Nothing Verizon says.......

Got a message from VZW, - " Your Phone is being Upgraded and Updated - Jk".

"Ooops! We thought you were HRC"

Hmmmm I am still a little skeptical. I got a feeling that Vzw will say something came up and they need testing
It wouldn't surprise me if they even have a process setup to start rolling out updates at the same time off the bat.

If you look at the timing of the release of this information is after all the bad reviews and recommendations not to buy the phone.

Look at the way that VZW and HTC screwed users with the HTC Advantage promise of updates within 90 days of release.

They couldn't even backup a 90 day promise, it's proven from that debacle as well as the hype around the VZW Galaxy Nexus which once again they screwed users ..me being the more than once they burned me on both phones with timely updates.

VZW will promise the world to sell phones and it doesn't follow through on the promises or guarantees they make.

They have lost my trust and my business due to this.
