The one request I have for this thread is that only those who have the phone post in it. There are other ordering/pricing related threads. I opened this one specifically for those who want to let everyone know they have it.

I have mine as well. 2nd in line at my store in Beavercreek, Ohio. Everything is perfect so far!

GOT IT!

Was 3rd in line. They honored the verizon online price of $149 ($199 minus my NE2). Took forever to activate. Like 20 min. Seems to be working but i just got to work and havent had time to play. My contacts were all set up though (yay) and i am in the market downloading apps.

Does anyone else only show 1X? I havent seen 4G yet (and I am in NYC)

Wow, $149? Looks like I can get it for $169 ($219-$50 NE2) through the web so I'm hoping they can honor this price as well.

Heading over to the store in a few minutes.

I have mine!! First one in middle TN!!!!

I have my Thunderbolt in hand!! I was the first in middle Tennessee to get one. Best Buy let me go in at 8:00 this morning. No one else wanted the early appointment! And no other stores in the area were opening early. I'm so tickled pink!! I've waited until I got home to open it so I can relish in the newness of it!! WOOT!!!!

Got mine. I was fourth to arrive to the store in my car, but because the way the door was opened I was seventh to actually get it. Damn was I late to work, lol. Stupid people who want overpriced VZW accessories and such taking up so much time...

Anyway, uploading pics soon (taken with a Xoom!)...

Here's a taste:

 

[pstellato73]

Got mine about 45 minutes ago. So far so good. It has the old market app on it though. I don't understand that. I'm not currently in a 4g area, so I can't comment on that yet. But when I get home I will update. Oh, and I was the first at my store in north Georgia.

Oh, one more thing, the rep told me the sim card can be used for overseas phone use. I didn'tknow this what a global phone. Anyone else hear about this?

 

[veverkap]

Picked up mine at BJs today. First in line. Got it for $99 bucks ($199 discounted pricing - $50 NE2 - $50 corporate discount).

IT IS AWESOME!

 

[hnguyen30]

got mine, charging it now, do i really need to fully charge before i can use it?

 

[Chrisy]

This was totally worth the wait!

 

[Sentrix]

Paid the expected $249.99 for a 2 year contract. I've heard of people getting even 1 year contracts for less than that.

Yup, guy standing next to me got it for 230 on one year.

[blackberryconvert2011]

I paid $670 - $599, plus case, plus screen savers and tax...and they weren't able to activate due to system overload...I've got to go back in a few and pick it up.

 

[Chrisy]

The guy next to me got it at 199 because of Corporate discount.

 

[Mustang7303]

Got to the VZW store at 8:30 and they were already open with two people at checkout. The lady I dealt with was very nice and fairly quick. She set me up with a 1 year contract and with my corporate discount only paid $230 out of pocket. It took about 20 minutes for the 4G to provision, but when running a speedtest with the app (the website automatically directs me to the app) I pulled 15,193kbps down and (an erronious) 29,574kbps up. Still playing around with it and will post my impressions later on.

This thing is super snappy!

 

[AirlinerDudeB6]

Got mine in my hands as we speak! Feels so good to finally have it!

I was 2nd in line for Jacksonville, FL (Orange Park Store). Had about 10 others in line waiting for 9am.

 

[RetiredJedi]

GOT MINE!!!! First in the store.

 

[Harreh]

Just bought my TBolt and....

I LOVE IT!! very smooth and fast. Charging the battery to full now, so we'll see how that goes.

How do you like yours??

 

[ggpike]

Got it! This thing is awesome. I was first one in the VZW store this morning and the first one to get the Tbolt. Speed test results are insane. Rest in peace, Droid.
