Verizon to start selling Google's Nexus 7 2013 in the near future?

Verizon customers wondering if their carrier will ever sell Google’s latest Nexus 7 now have an answer, and it’s positive. At least that’s what @evleaks says, mentioning that the tablet “is about to be added to the Verizon lineup.” That sounds promising, and we shouldn’t be surprised if Verizon starts offering the device in the next few days.

Another thing revealed by @evleaks is that Verizon’s Nexus 7 won’t have carrier branding. Verizon users haunted by its logos placed all over smartphones and tablets will probably consider this great news.

Pricing details have not been disclosed, but we’ll likely find out more on this soon.

Verizon was supposed to release a Nexus 7 compatible with its LTE network before the end of 2013, but testing and certification took way too long. But now the new 7-inch Nexus seems to be finally coming to the largest US mobile carrier. Anyone still waiting for it?

Awesome. I'm glad to finally see choices besides AT&T and T - mobile.

Verizon should be embarrassed. They can screw anything with the word Nexus in it.

VZW should just put all their 'certification' effort into the Nexus 7 (2014) edition. Then they can be first to offer the 2014 edition. The 2013 edition is essentially yesterdays news.
