Weird links on Play store. The default link takes you to the 16gb black version but doesnt show the other options.

This link shows me both colors as well as 16/32 gb options. https://play.google.com/store/devices/details?id=nexus_5_whi...

Earlier quoted context omitted.

All US carriers except Verizon are/will be supported.

I'm having a hard time finding the specifics on this. Do you know if this is due to it not supporting Verizon's CDMA/LTE bands, or due to a bureaucratic/carrier certification issue? It looks to me like LTE on Verizon wouldn't be supported (bands 4 and 13), but technical CDMA should work?

Part of the problem is since Verizon is CDMA and there's not really SIM cards, they can just say: "Your ESN doesn't look like a device we want to support, you can't activate it, sucks to be you"
