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

[Cory Streater]

Okay the reported posts are starting to roll in...

I believe the intent of this thread, and correct me if I'm wrong, is to have some fun while you guys continue to be tortured by Verizon's lack of an announcement. We can take this thread one of two directions.

1) We can continue this thread in the spirit of keeping things fun.

2) or it could turn into a big flame throwing contest and I can lock it.

If I see anyone purposely doing #2, I will react accordingly, and tell Verizon to continue to keep their date a secret.

I broke into the US patent office
its a Cupholder!

I found out that the "two" are going to be in the new version of HTCSense (2.5)installed on the Thunderbolt ...

For the love of Science, I hope not. LAAAAAAAAAME

I vote for # 1.

So please, lets have some fun to pass the time.

Thanks!!!

Well believe me or not, you may have this device in your hands early if you pre-ordered (from BB that is).

Announcement VERY sooooon.

I'm still playing catch up on all the posts but I hope this one is true. I pre-ordered 2 TB's waaaaay back on 02/11!

My guess (just to keep this fun) would be we get a free clone of Jeff Bridges with the phone. I mean most of the riddles that Ben has given have a sort of Zen feel to them and in Tron, Bridges played 2 characters, one being Clu 2...so I think that might be it....along with the cupholder and the fish.

Simply awesome. I would prefer one of those retractable ones so I can fit a super big gulp.

If I remember correctly Ben said there would be an announcement in two days. Today is day # 2.

After doing some research I found out what the surprise is... With the purchase of a Thunderbolt you receive a free $25 iTunes gift card.

Well I keep refreshing AC to see if there is an announcement and I'm starting to annoy and argue with myself about doing that. Is that weird?

Oh and I lost a button hole yesterday.

Somebody give this man a reward.

 

[project.in.process]

isn't BENNNN supposed to be, if i'm not mistaken, a financial analyst of some sort for VZW?

so...would he actually be prone to know something in regards to
1) hardware change (as someone pointed out--the entire phone would need to pass FCC again if hardware were changed)
2) addition of Netflix
3) addition of a new OS (gingerbread)

? reasonably yes, but anyone have experience with Financial Analysts to say that he would be more involved in this information than just someone who works as a janitor for VZW and coming on these forums claiming "i work for VZW, on a corporate floor (cleaning the waste baskets, bwahahaha) --listen to what i know"

I wouldn't expect Verizon to announce a release date for the Thunderbolt today because Apple is going to announce the iPad 2 which Verizon will carry as well.

They prob won't announce anything til 9am Central Time, so if you live on the east coast like me you've still got about an hour to wait and see.
