Yep. You can read between the lines. Tmo has nothing to lose pushing things up. They have no iphone. The z10 helps them switch customers from other carriers (possibly). If they get it out before everyone else. But verizon has blackberry over a barrel. No hurry. Just keep shoving android down peoples throats.

Here's an idea what Sprint does from product planning to launch. Usually it's a year long process.

I totally forgot about SVDO had rolled out among Sprint/Verizon phones. Still it's not a required feature by either carrier so not all new phones support it.
