Q. If I place a pre-order reservation, when will I receive my smartphone?

A. We will begin shipping orders on the Verizon Wireless official launch date for the HTC ThunderBolt, which is currently February 13, 2011 but subject to change. If you order additional phones (such as with a family plan), we will hold your entire order until your HTC ThunderBolt is ready to ship.

Anyone else see that???

Only problem is the 13th is a Sunday, and I don't know of any shipping company that ships on Sunday...

What the hell. they clearly say Feb 13. nooo way
edit: I have a feeling this page was made a while back or something and they just put it public. Since when was the 13th the date?

Maybe another ad that will be taken down/changed.

Can you do alternate upgrades (buddy up grade) on Wirefly?
My kids line is up for renewal and I want to use it. Hope so!

Verizon Wireless needs to fire every single one of their account reps. First Best Buy has outdated info (still has it), then Amazon, and now Wirefly?

If they don't, can't you have VZ switch the phone/numbers ahead of time?

I wonder what the "special" wirefly price is??

 

[Edwill86]

we can only hope that they have the right info at this point.

And the 13th would be the day they box them and print up the ups/fedex tags and get them ready to ship first thing Monday morning the 14th.

Crossing my fingers an toes at this point is becoming a chore!

Verizon shot me down. Maybe I'll call back to talk to someone else.

Thats what I would like to know.

From all other posts on the forum that I've seen, only VZW can do 1-yr contracts (with the possible exception of Best Buy, but their 1-yr price is considerably more than VZW's). In the FAQ on Wirefly, they only state 2-yr contracts.

The page is still up from what i can tell. At the top right there is just a box to put you email address. To let them contact you when the phone is available.
