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

[beirlilny]

Okay, so I haven't read through ALL of the posts so forgive me if this is a repeat...but if the big deal that they are alluding to with these clues is that Skype will be on the phone, then I will be sooooooo ticked. It was always supposed to come with Skype - why does Skype all of a sudden warrant such cryptic messages?
Next thing we know, they'll be leaving clues to get us all excited about the fact that it comes with a ringer toggle.
Seriously - it had BETTER NOT be Skype! (especially considering that there are apps on the market that allow for video calling aside from Skype - point being that Skype is not the be all-end all)

Let's sue Verizon?

haha ya

According to Baskin and Robbins it's not skype, it's Onlive and Google music

So who thinks we will actually get an announcement tomorrow?

 

[maxx528]

Not sure, but I'll be getting calls from my VZW store, VZW's Tbolt alert system, and my BBM store.

EDIT: IF the announcement is tomorrow that is.

a person can hope and wish but I think it's a large possibility that it is tomorrow. that VZW twitter account also said check back tomorrow and Jeryyyy's (unsourced???) conformation.

I believe it will be, since BMX has been poem-ing an approx. March 17th date all long, and VZW should give it at least a week.

so does anyone remember what sprint did with the evo when they were going to announce it? they had like a huge party ordeal thing and sent out invitations for their first 4g phone. you think verizon would do something like that for americas first LTE phone and their first LTE phone

 

[Tortan]

Remember, the more we sue, the more LTE could cost!
Let's think about data plans...

well that's sprint, not verizon.

 

[xusxmarinesx]

Bennnnnnnnnnnny the bunnnnnnnnnny is keeping awfully quiet. This is getting slightly slow :/ I'm go be girly and watch nail polish dry.

this was posted on FB on a thunderbolt page... dunno how reliable, but seems to back the story up thus far...

"I just got off the phone with a Verizon support manager. She told me that the Thunderbolt will be out next week. The pricing for the 4g internet will be the same, since the 4g network is so small, it isn't fair to charge just 3g customers the same price for less product. A couple days ago they all went through training of the Thunderbolt. She loves it! It has a nice clean feel that is also comfortable. I can't wait!"

Wow, I just read through 1159 posts. What an epic if somewhat depressing journey that was. Alot of stuff to contemplate and very exciting if true, this is definitely the standout thread of the forums. Hype is at an all time high but if no word comes tomorrow I imagine this scene playing out as everyone's heads collectively explode. YouTube - Disturbance in the Force (Obi Won Kenobi / Star Wars)
