I want to use Google Wallet but Verizon block users from downloading it! Whats up with that??? Verizon should leave it up to the customers to use it or not to, I am always traveling for work. I take my wallet out to much for the damn airport security, I have my phone in my shirt pocket for a quick draw. Verizon you are crossing my line of freedom, wait I pay you to use your service and I should make the choose to use what apps I want !!

Umm I'm pretty sure my old HTC Evo 4G wouldn't be able to use Google Wallet :-)

"...the app will not work on rooted devices, so you will have to unroot to use it."

So, could you simply temp unroot with OTA Rootkeeper and then use Google Wallet?

Could probably setup a profile to run OTA Rootkeeper and unroot when Google Wallet is launched and then re-root when Wallet is closed.
