There has been no indication that this is a rumor. BGR is typically very reliable when posting internal Verizon information, and we have no reason to suspect otherwise. In the original source of the story from BGR, they didn't indicate in any way that this was a rumor. It could turn out to be wrong, but we can't post everything up as a rumor, because then over half our breaking news articles will be purely speculative. Sometimes you just have to trust the source of a story. Sometimes you get burned, but sometimes you don't.
Okay, I have to say a few things.
1. No indication that this was a rumor?????????????? Taken straight from the source article:
"For starters, Verizon Wireless will indeed
be offering the Samsung Galaxy S3 —
Verizon notably passed on the Galaxy S
II in favor of the Samsung Galaxy Nexus
—
but we don’t know when the carrier will
start selling Samsung’s new
flagship smartphone. While we have a
clear picture of Verizon’s fall smartphone
lineup, we would assume the Galaxy S III
will be available over the summer."
2. Don't you guys remember the release date debacle when the DF news team announced that it had the OFFICIAL release date for the Galaxy Nexus...even though it hadn't been confirmed by Verizon, Samsung, or Google?

3. The staff here is better than this. When you post articles like these, it looks like you are doing it only to drive up site hits/traffic. Stop it.
Thank you.
