Well, launch day for the Galaxy S IV on Verizon is here at last, and it hasn't disappointed. Predictably, the device has already been rooted. We know Dan Rosenburg has a bootloader unlock ready and waiting to go, too.
Now that the S IV is out in the wild where big red can't patch it without an update, we can expect him to release this any time now. Add to this the upcoming AOSP version of the S IV we discussed yesterday, and this is looking like the device to have if you're looking for a high-end AOSP friendly pocket rocket!
As anyone who uses Verizon is painfully aware, such things are never a given when you run with the big V. The Droid DNA continues to be difficult to work with, the RAZR series is locked down tight per usual, and the Galaxy S III is on its way to being yesterday's news. (I still love mine though).
Google has made it pretty clear that they've no immediate plans to release any CDMA devices, so for Verizon customers... this is our Nexus, right here.
Anyone get theirs yet? If you haven't, order it here.
