Thunderbolt Thursday Waiting Room HERE!

So Jay pretty much BB is selling this for more then Verizon in the end?

Maybe. If Verizon keeps it's price at $249, then I could see BB keeping it's launch price as well. The note may be just to get people to buy it now.

It may be higher than other Retailers. I'm sure they had to pay a bunch of cash to be the "Exclusive" brick and mortar seller. They have to recoup that somehow.

BB will match Verizon...so I'd assume VZW may be going up as well

i knew it wasn't going to be 199. That was just crazy.

When Can I order at Verizon Wireless.com

I like to order this phone online at verizonwireless.com. I have NE2. I know i could go to store but they open at 9 AM so I would have to take time off.

Does anyone know when would I be able to order online and how long does it take to get the phone?

 

[phantomog]

I'm guessing not till early (around midnight?) on Thursday. Sucks, I was planning on ordering online, but now I'm torn. Maybe I'll go to the store on Thursday morning just so I can get it one day earlier...

 

[jayishere]

With all the perks I've accumulated I'll be paying $0 for my phone...boo yah.

 

[rbfromma]

There was a twitter announcement of no pre-orders. I haven't seen confirmation, but my thought is 3am ET on 3/17. I usually order my phones online and was planning to do so with this one. Looks like I will be going to a local store Thursday morning.

No pre-orders on #4G #LTE #Thunderbolt by #HTC. Verizon stores will be open regular hours on Thurs. ready to serve u.

 

[robrecht]

I'll order on-line only if they have an Internet discount.

One year price?

So we know the two year price, but does anyone know what the 1 year price will be from VZW or if there will even be one? Hopefully the iphone did not set a precedent with that.

They haven't announced it yet. So i guess they won't have any??

 

[SpaceHippie]

That makes the 430 im paying full retail sound pretty high lol

The 64 thousand dollar question.

 

[RestlessDroid]

I have one question... I was a former Alltel customer and still have the same plan. Will they make me change my family plan to sign a new agreement. I've been told that I could keep it in the past. What are your thoughts?

Same boat here. Hopefully they still offer 1 year option and are just trying to hide it like usual, as its what made VZW highly attractive to me (besides their great network). Come Thursday, hope I'm being rung up for a 1 year for somewhere between $319 & $349. I'd really rather not pay full retail price, but will if its the only route to avoid 2 year commitment

Thanks for posting Cory. I am hoping VZW posts more accessories on Thurs.

What Time should i go to Verizon Store

How Early are guys going? At the time store opens or before?

 

[DroidnOk]

It's almost hard to believe but I am glad its all over with now. I was happy to see Verizons tweet this morning. Also, thanks Cory and the rest of the AC staff for always providing great info on this site. AC is now my prefferred site for Android news. Going to go to Verizon to see if I can put my money down today


Update: Just got off the phone with my Verizon store and they said the phone is first come first serve at thier location. I can't put anything down in advance Oh well, I'll just have to be there when they open

 

[P7M8]

Very, very early....


I'm hoping for a midnight release since I get off at midnight Wednesday. I can hit it on the way home.
