Is it possible? Verizon’s Samsung Galaxy Nexus getting 4.2.2?

It can’t be!  Could it?

Screen shot provided by El Madhatter over at Xda has us Verizon Galaxy Nexus owners wondering if this could be true. For us geeks this isn’t that big of news because most of us already have 4.2.2 on our Galaxy Nexus one way or another. For the average Joe Blow that bought this phone because they were told by someone (probably a phone geek like us) that this phone will get Android updates faster than any other phone.  Three updates behind later (thanks Big Red) Joe is using an outdated phone (Thanks again Verizon).

Its looking like we’ll have new radios, which is fantastic news but the same kernel and boot loader, which is a bit of a bummer.  The new baseband info is also new and can’t be changed with a simple build.prop edit which leads me to believe this is the real deal. I guess someone could go through a hell of a lot of work to fake this but I doubt it.

So Joe Blow!  Keep your head up!  Your pretty little Verizon Galaxy Nexus just might be updated to 4.2.2.  What do ya say Verizon?
