Verizon is screwing with Google Wallet again. After originally just saying it wouldn’t officially support it at all, it relented a little bit and allowed it onto the Galaxy Nexus last month. And now it’s called take-backs, apparently.

It seems users who had downloaded and used the Google Wallet app on their Verizon Galaxy Nexus are being told that their app is out of date and they need to update. But the Play Store is telling them that their device isn’t supported anymore. So then. Maybe it’s an oversight on Verizon’s part, but with how strongly it’s resisted Google Wallet, in favor of whatever forthcoming competing service it’s working on, that’s not something we can safely assume, really. Let’s hope that Mobile Payments Committee ends up solving some of these mixups. [Engadget]
