Yesterday news broke that Verizon would be blocking Google's flagship Galaxy Nexus phone from including Google Wallet, the NFC-based system that will let you tap your phone against special sensors to pay for goods and services. The decision was almost certainly spurred by Verizon's support of a rival NFC-based payment solution called ISIS.We've now learned more details.Some reports, including one in the WSJ, state that while the phone won't launch with Google Wallet, users may be able to download it from Android Market in the future. This isn't the case, we've learned. As things stand now, even once Google Wallet rolls out more broadly, the Verizon Galaxy Nexus won't be able to download it from Android Market. This could change down the line should the two parties reach another agreement (or Google just decides to tell Verizon to buzz off), but that's where the dust has settled at this point.And now, despite all this, Verizon is striking back with a statement that it is not actually blocking the app from the Galaxy Nexus. Except it is.
