I sent a PM. My curiosity is aroused, as well as my skepticism. I asked a few questions to see what they will say. My main concerns would be updated security patches, using official OP firmware that is free of Verizon bloatware, and finally 5G functionality. With the added modules in this device to support mmWave 5G (Verizon 5G) versus sub 6 5G (which is what AT&T and T-Mobile use), I am curious to see if that functionality will be lost entirely because this is hardware in the phone itself that supports that.

Right now, 5G isn't that big of a deal for me because I live in a rural area that probably won't see it until they start getting ready for 6G talking points in cellular companies PowerPoint presentations 5 years from now! :p
