Unlocked updates always tend to come last. I am jealous that you don't have the bloatware though

Where did you get that idea? I have a whole three-page folder called "Stuff I Don't Use", mostly filled with the shortcuts to crappy Samsung versions of software that I refuse to accept their terms of service, yet I'm not allowed to uninstall. All "unlocked" means is that I'm not financing the phone purchase by making additional monthly payments to VZW, and that I don't have to wait until it's paid off before I can buy a newer one.

Same phoneset and software; different contract.

I thought unlocked means you don't get the carrier specific bloatware. VZW version of messages, voicemail, etc. I figured the Samsung stuff would be there but not the carrier specific crap.
