I have been on the fence about whether or not to buy the Thunderbolt, or wait for the Bionic/Dual Core phones to be released. I pre-ordered the Tbolt at Best Buy just to save my spot in case I went in that direction.
Well, today, I think I have made my decision. I returned my $50 BB gift card and canceled my pre-order, because I am really liking this one year option instead. Once the Tbolt comes out, I plan on buying it, but I will feel better knowing I could upgrade in 10 months if I feel like I need or want to at that time. Too bad BB can't offer the 1 year option.
Note for anyone else who may choose this option and already pre-ordered the Tbolt...
it took BB FOREVER to process the return. There were 4 of them around the computer and still couldnt figure it out. I originally pre-ordered and put the $50 on my credit card, and since they couldnt figure out how to process the return they just gave me $50 cash. That worked for me
I hope that my local Verizon stores don't sell out on release day before I can get one, because I am anxious to rid myself of my Palm Pre Plus!
