[Forum Game] New Thunderbolt goodie? UPDATE: One of us is right!

[reb422]

LOL

 

[nativi]

I wish they(verizon) would give us some info

 

[amotter]

I tried to tell you guys he was full of it but nobody listened. I did work for apple for years and that kind of stuff is not tolerated. He is not a employee for Verizon and if he is, its a low level. He has no more info then you all have. The messages and everything was a joke, I guess what I am trying to say is to not expect ANYTHING this week. Its not happening and the phone is not going to be out next week either. Less than a week away and nothing...Common guys. All I know is Bennnnn better not show his face anymore, I called him a liar from the get go and everyone backed him and now look, Everyone is disappointed and that is the exact reason I called him out because I knew he was lying.

Yes, you have have been proven right...and proven the rest of wrong...and yes you did articulate that your goal was not to be a jerk but to keep us from getting our hopes up too high. Now look at us, we are a bunch of sad sacks with no cupholders, no nothing.

However, I owe Verizon nothing. I am going to start researching the HTC Pyramid and EVO 2 because i want to have my options open should the Thunderbolt be some kind of delay....I think it will be liberating to learn more about the pros and cons of the different upcoming HTC phones and the carriers so that I can still get a great phone but not feel like it is Tunderbolt or nothing! I wish Android Central had forums on these two phones...It would keep me on this site more!

I have proven it. Everything I said was and was not going to happen didn't or did. I can tell you one thing for sure, you will not get unlimited data with this phone!! That I know for sure!! Now I am done, I have a job and its not worth risking over a stupid ass phone. You guys will enjoy the phone as will I but it will not be under an unlimited 29.99 data package!! And who are you to call anyone anything? You have been spreading rumors about dates forever on this phone!! Your just as bad as Bennnnn.

Just as bad as Ben, huh? Jay has never posted supposed dates or any other speculative rubbish. Basically just pics of RSS and next weeks ads. You're blind. Please get back to your job quickly so we don't have to hear you on this thread again.

Thanks.

Here is his twitter account:

The Mobile Panda (black_man_x) on Twitter

But you'll need to follow him since everyone on the forums pissed him off this past week so he protected his tweets.

And here is the article from his blog he wrote a month ago hinting at a March 17 launch:

For the Android Heads.. a wee bit of poem? | Rants, Opinions and the confessions of a Tech addict?

The only reason people believe that it would release sooner than the 17th is because after BMX wrote that post, Verizon posted on either their twitter account or their facebook (can't remember which) that this phone was going to drop "sooner than expected"



Looks like you're right. I missed that. Apologies...

I was trying to keep hope alive, but it looks like we're back to square one again with no hints about a release...

Thanks for posting that poem. For all I've heard about it, I hadn't read it. Very interesting. The thing that surprises me though, is the mention of the Bionic at the end. 'Till after the passover event' is like an early May release. I thought we were looking at June for Bionic....hmmm.. If BMX is reliable about the Thunderbolt and supposed 2.4 updates in April, maybe another month wouldn't be so bad?

 

[FatalErrorz]

BMX said the 17th!! Listen to the man

He also likes that Samsung better than the HTC...That's weird. Maybe Samsung raised the bar. Doubt it, and as he said, the SS will never get updated.

Hey why are we asking verizon about the Thunderbolt? we need to ask Zeus

[Seminoles fan]

Im sorry, did I hurt your feelings? Yes Jay has said dates and promises too so I don't want to hear it from you or him. The phone will be here when it gets here but not next week!!

It sure sounds that way. I think at this point I am going to wait for the bionic and just skip the Thunderbolt all together. They will be releasing very close to each other anyways, plus the samsung will be close also. So their will be options soon enough.

[rachelbebs]

my hubby said we can go in tomorrow and pre-order 2 tbolts, one for both of us!! yay

 

[nativi]

Well my Verizon guy just said they are adding something to the phone and that the release day could be March 28th...Now that sucks!!

Take it for what you like

Lynch mob for jerryyyyyy?

Hell, at this rate the Bionic will be out before the Bolt...2nd Gen LTE might be too...I'm beginning to tire.

Where is Bennnnn?

 

[Slapnpop826]

I think VZW is running the risk of pushing this phone back into iphone 5 terrritory. Iphone 5 talk will begin to gain momentum now that the ipad2 is out of the way. If the bolt gets pushed into late March/April I for will be debating about whether to just wait a few more months for the iphone 5.

iPhone 5 won't be LTE. Why bother?

Mods:

Can we please get this thread renamed to reflect the false rumors from Bennnnnnnnnnnnnn? Also, how about dropping the banhammer on one (or both) of these guys, as they were obviously trolling for lulz.

...that is, unless Bennnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn wants to show his face and try to redeem himself?

Will this fail train ever have a stop?
