So, you’ve been holding off from upgrading your flagging device to wait for the blazing fast Samsung Galaxy S II. You thought you wouldn’t have to wait long, but then the release was pushed back to Q3, even though the whole of Europe has been enjoying it since May. No matter you thought, I can wait a few more months, well if you’re a Verizon customer you’re going to be pretty disappointed right about now.
Verizon confirmed to The Wall Street Journal today that it will not be offering the device.
