What about some type of charging pad... or Maybe u will get two batteries with a dock..

ThunderBolt was already shown at MWC with an inductive charging battery case for wireless charging, and the developer of the accessory didn't say it wouldn't come to market either

LG Revolution gets Fulton inductive charging back, HTC and Samsung handsets joining the party soon -- Engadget (near the end of the article they mention the ThunderBolt)



hopefully the announcement is either tomorrow or Friday then...
I would get it from bestbuy if they offered 1 year contracts but they don't, so no dice, even if its one day early

I gotta get out away from this forum.. some of you people are crazy. I just want some real info on the phone. I wish a mod could start a thread called "credible new info" and I could just monitor that one topic... I can't take the bull $hit and the games anymore. the hero worship of people that come in here just adding more rumors without any proof is a little sickening. I've been following this phone since november. I'm tired. If you got some inside info you want to share... great, share it.. but the riddles and the games are stuff for 5 year olds...

how about you check the stickies... there stickied for a reason.

Epic FAILZ.

My guess:
1.) 2.3 (or 2.4 - whatever) at launch.
2.) Best Buy on the 9th. VZW on the 10th.

Why would VZW allow BB to launch before them?

What about the new feature in the Incredible S where the buttons rotate with the screen, was that mentioned already or is it possible.

I am actually in total disagreement with you. I'm disappointed that this thread died so quickly. I got into work today and was having a lot of fun reading this thread, but now there is absolutely nothing and the day is really dragging right now. You may not be stuck at work, but for those that are, this forum helps make the day go by faster, but now that people are being so crabby and grouchy nobody is posting in this thread (or forum for that matter) except to be crabby and grouchy the day will seem like it will never end.

Yeah... to make matters worse, its coming to both Verizon and AT&T....

this BETTER not delay the ThunderBolt (the TRUE ThunderBolt)

they say others are copying there precious fruit, but look at them copying the name of another product

Seriously? Why would you call an interface ThunderBolt!? Oh thats right, to garner attention from the MASSIVE search query that the HTC ThunderBolt has gotten for nearly 3 months already

 

[Bennnnn]

I don't know why you guys are listening to "Jerryyyyy". I told you in a previous post I didn't know who the hell he was.

I'm not sure I buy into that, but I _do_ think VZW waits until at least tomorrow to announce this. Today's tech news cycle is going to be dominated by Apple's presser.

Not to put too fine a point on it, but we don't know who the hell you are, either. Your riddles are amusing, but without any proof, they are just that: amusing.

I don't remember it.

Good point

I gladly will take any type of surprise even if its an updated version of Sense or just an extra large battery, would like a dock though...

but after all the rumors of release dates that have come and gone with no release, its nice to get your mind off the release date rumors and try to figure out what a possible last minute surprise would entail

 

[htowngator]

March 11th will be a problem as Verizon would have to launch the iPad 2 and the Bolt on the same day.

 

[Rhyyker]

i got so sick of the rumors i almost bought a xoom last night.

somehow this made sense to me lol.

Two different types of buyers, two different markets. Doable, but not ideal.
