According to some news articles I've just read, it seems that the Nexus 5 will not work on Verizon networks.
I read that this wasn't an issue with hardware on the nexus 5.
Why is it that some phones don't work on a carrier's network if it is not a hardware issue? Shouldn't every phone with the appropriate hardware be able to work on every network as long as you put in the right sim card?
Verizon and Sprint run on the CDMA networks whereas AT&T and T-Mobile run on the GSM networks. Edit: It does have CDMA bands, it just doesn't have Verizon's CDMA bands. Verizon doesn't seem to be fond of the Nexus line.
