Got the same text- of course it came 20 mins before my Best Buy closes... going to pop in tomorrow to see if they have any date info. I'm guessing no, but hey its worth a shot.
For what its worth, I just got a text saying I can pre-order the S4 for Verizon from Best Buy starting today..but it must be done in store. No release date given as of yet or indicated. Going to pop in tomorrow morning and pre-order from BB just for kicks. When its released I'll be getting it...
This phone could be HTC's savior...as long as it only has a brief stay on Android 4.1 - I am also eternally skeptical of HTC's offerings in the battery department, no matter how big of one they put in. Here's to hoping.
Coming to verizon as the Thunderbolt Deux.
edit:// if not this phone, then soon we should be seeing something about a phone with a radio to handle us some voLTE.
This is cool, but not as awesome as winning Jerry's Thunderbolt case from the "Cool Story Bro" photoshop competition! But I digress, the Nexus 7 is amazing! Good luck to everyone!
