Release at Verizon - It's Official

[jrmarinojr]

Okay guys, this one is official. I just spoke with a good buddy of mine who works as a sales rep in a Ft. Lauderdale, Florida Verizon branch. Now although he always tells me he does not have any insider information on unreleased news, he did finally let me know that the Thunderbolt will officially be launching in VERIZON stores on the 24th. The previous rumors of this date are definitely true. This may come as a good thing for some (not me, after that VZ tweet this morning), or a bad thing for others (I want it on the 14th at Best Buy!). Anyway, take it however you please. We will all finally have our phones before March!

Might want to change your title. Unless it's in writing, it's not "Official".

I really hope that both dates are right. 14th at BB, 24th at Verizon. I want this phone now!

welcome to android central.
friends at work just started training for the iphone and haven't mentioned any other device yet so until they go through their training seminars it may be a bit.

Do any of you read previous threads? This is all old news and speculation.

I will be happy to get it on the 24th and even happier to get it on the 14th.

Wait, speaking of VZ sources, didn't one of them tell us the iPhone was a 4G phone?

Lots of people have "friends at Verizon stores" who give them information like this. They also conflict. There's no reason to believe one over the other.

 

[kaufmansm]

a rep on live chat yesterday said he expected it on the 14th.

Not trying to do anything but give some information I heard from the company itself. No need to bash my comments as they are just here to inform anyone who is interested in this phone. If you don't agree then go to the next thread.

I am friends with the guys in the Verizon Distribution centers and they said you guys need to get a life.

This is NOT Official! this thread title should be changed. its just more speculation from sales reps.

 

[Sokar]

[fatrob]

AGREED....if you dont want to get bashed dont make assumptions "official"....you really set yourself up.

 

[tony bag o donuts]

My dog stays with a sitter while I work, and one of the other dogs there belongs to an exec with Verizon. Apparently the exec talks in his sleep and his dog overheard that the release was going to be the 15th. His dog passed it on to my dog and my dog told me, because my dog knows I want this phone.

We all know dogs never lie, so the OFFICIAL release date will be the 15th!

But what did Punxsutawney Phil say? Do we need to wait 6 more weeks before it'll be out?
