Called Htc Today
- Thread starter NyStrongest
- Start date
I doubt it will be a one shipment kind of thing, HTC has a pretty strong rep among the devices that they make, and I'm sure over time they will sell plenty, and in turn have to make more, but my feeling is that as or right now they have their $ for the first batch and are currently focused on other devices (the merge, and everything they unveiled at MWC etc) therefore right now they would not be too concerned as to when it hits market, as long as it makes the Q1 deadline talked about at CES Im sure HTC would be happy.
Right. HTC does care about when this product is released and how it's marketed because they want to sell more units than the initial purchase.
HTC does have a concern there has now been a delay in reorders after the first wave sells out!!!

I will gladly get my t-Mobil HTC Pyramid, or my Sprint HTC EVO 2 this summer if Verizon keeps jacking me around. Can we please start NEW FORUMS on these phones? Isn't someone who works for Verizon on this thread who can speak to the fact that I am not doing my Storm 1 debacle again?
(I bought the Storm in late February/March)....yea it was pretty awesome through July....then all these other phones came out and my phone became the "gay" phone! Just sayin...I jumped too early! OH...and where I live the coverage is pretty good from all of them..but I agree about AT&T...we left it because we did have a good number of dropped calls...2 years of Verizon...almost none!
here's how i see it, verizon is scheming to screw us over since they know that early adopters of the TB will generally be techy ppl or ppl stupid enough to throw money at them for a new LTE phone (i know im guilty). early adopters will likely abuse the crap out of LTE, at least for the first couple of months, but at the same time would likely be willing to pay for it
the 1 highlight out of all this is, after announcing their tiered plans with the TB, they're giving us all another chance to lock in unlimited 3G... i hope...

I don't know if this is of any use but I emailed them last week about the phone and they said this
"Unfortuantely Sean, there is currently no release information for this product in your region, we encourage you to continually visit HTC?s Worldwide product page at HTC - Mobile Phones, Smartphones, Cell Phones, PDAs where you can learn more about this new device and stay informed on any future announcements regarding specific regional availability.
The Thunderbolts release is only known to the wireless provider. You may want to check on the Verizon website for the product launch date."
Since they said they don't have any info on the release date and its only known by the wireless provider(verizon), they are not doing any hardware changes like the battery. So if this information is correct then the battery issue cannot be the reason for the delays. I guess that it is good to know it is on Verizon's part because hardware changes could take a long time.

i live 5 minutes from Gillette stadium (Patriots) and no LTE here yet there is like 20 minutes away from me but not in Foxboro MA where the stadium is located lol
lol living so close and yet i never been a football fan and have had my share of run ins with patriot players in my younger years that kinda mad me biased against them lol
Verizon is known for holding up things. Even with updates and all. What the rep told you seem logical.. because Verizon have a commercial advertising the "Thunderbolt" , which would confirmed what the rep had told you.
it has been stated by BMX numerous times that the LTE network is very much ready for this phone to be released.
I live in a football city (Buffalo) and Verizon has not giving us 4g yet, nor are we on the list to get it this year.
Well Buffalo is Buffalo... I say what I say due to this report: Verizon to light up LTE network in 30 'NFL cities' this year -- Engadget
Possibly, but I think there's a higher chance that the HTC rep would be wrong before him.
I believe him stating that the network was up and running but was waiting for the TBolt itself to be ready.
