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

[anon(2632)]

there's rumors of new problems every week, refresh our memories what were last weeks problems, Lte/3g handoff, battery ... what else?

SKYPE causing problems with OS

 

[Geeksy]

here's the hint once again (to keep us all on brain 'storming' on the same page):


"I can attest to this. There is something special being added in two this phone two circumvent issues as of last week and its NOT a bigger battery (This has been fixed). Many of you will be pleasantly surprised with Verizon and HTC. Two me, it's worth the wait "

It doesn't make sense that he'd say that a new feature is the announcement date. I doubt the feature has to do "2" but maybe that there will be 2 features.

Now I'm back to being excited for this instead of depressed and fatigued from the rumors. Maybe Bennnnn works for VZW's PR department and is really good at his job.

cupholder is 9 letters, March 9th?

Also Skype should be this phone when we get it unless anything changed with the fact that Skype was technically suppose to be ready 2/28 which was yesterday. The two thing is a bit confusing.

 

[alcoholics02]

I'm guessing it means that it will, afterall, be released with Skype functional and active.

I am right there with you. Skye functional !

Two weeks? But that would neither be a surprise nor pleasant.

 

[Green_Laser]

The "two" has showed up twice now though, so who knows.

I couldn't care less what else is on the phone, this is all playful speculation. I just want my sodding phone. It's fun to dream.

btw, "two" shows up 3 times

2 days, but he already leaked the 10th...

 

[prakash99]

Two new specs? Mabye new specs that were never ever been announced or leaked? That takes Skype out of the equation? Then what?

Ben and Jerry are reading this thread and with big megamind heads laughing out loud with an evil laugh. wuhaahaahaahaahaahaa WUHAAHAAHAAHAAHAA!

I am feeling like a lil kid waiting to run down the stairs on Xmas morning and start unwrapping his gifts.

If i'm not mistaken, the 2/28 was the release of the skype App in Market. The TB problem with Skype was major because it is baked into the ROM and causing problems with the phone shutting down. I may be completely off though. I have read so much on this phone, things are starting to run together.

 

[FatalErrorz]

Toggle switches for both 3G and 4G...Turn off both and the battery lasts longer.

 

[azdmelani]

no dual core or gingerbread.

I vote an annoucement March 2 for the "two"

and wishful thinking for a better battery!

 

[pstellato73]

He's in finance right? So it may be price related.

$200 FTW

I agree. Financial analyst = Money. $200 it is. Plus Skype.

Maybe that's where this [new ROM] comes in... note the date.

I have to tell you guys that this has been the best of all these Thunderbolt threads that I have read. The whole Benn and Jerryyy cupholder thing had me cracking up. Its probably the 1st time I've laughed at the situation since 2/14 came and went. I was thinking 2 three times meant 2.3 but I guess thats not it.

 

[Jerryyyyy]

you're just not thinking 4th dimensionally, marty. 4 if i were 2 tell you the answer, there is 0 chance for your iMAHgination to run wild!

 

[RodneyHamp]

$200 would be a really nice surprise...

 

[Bennnnn]

No dual core and you guys are thinking two much about the number 2.

You will hear about it in good time.
