Carrier crapware? I guess possibly if you decide to buy yours from the Verizon store. Still, I'm not sure why you'd get it there instead of ordering online straight from Google (unless you can only get one that works on VZW from the Verizon store).
Interestingly, on the order page they don't even ask you what carrier you're on. When I've ordered iPhones from Apple they usually ask if you want the Verizon model, the AT&T model, the Sprint model or the TMo/unlocked model.
Wonder if this means it's finally a non-issue and if so, why they didn't bring this up in the keynote as it's at least as much of a perk as some of the other techie details they mentioned.
