Okay more and more people are starting to get ridiculous regarding this whole release date situation. Or maybe it's just that the people who are impatient are getting louder (or in a forum case simply expressing their frustration more succinctly).
My question is why? A lot of the people that are expressing their anger and frustrations are the people who have great phones and should be able to wait without any issues. Of all people it should be people like me who become impatient. I mean I have a first gen Storm.
I know people have said this before, but Verizon has not set a release date. There are only rumors. Don't blame Verizon for rumors even if they come from Verizon employees. Verizon employees do not speak for the corporation if they have not been authorized to do so.
Aside from the above 2 reasons not to get upset or impatient, why would people decide to go to a non-LTE phone to "stick it" to Verizon (again when they have done nothing wrong)? To me that gives more power to the other carriers. It says "Hey you can give me anything that is new and shiny, it doesn't necessarily need to have the best network or the best specs, as long as you get it out before the other carriers."
Now I don't want to get into a carrier war either because it really is true that some places all of the carriers are pretty equal, but I still don't understand the concept of picking a non-LTE phone just because the Thunderbolt isn't out yet, and that mainly goes for the people who may still be under contract with Verizon. If you aren't clearly you can do whatever you want, but if so, why would you want to pay the ETF?
Anyway, I think everyone just needs to calm down. It'll come. If you feel like you can't wait, then fine, but you don't need to express your frustration towards Verizon because they have done nothing wrong.
