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

POST IT!

Verizon deleted it.

Not to burst your bubble... but they're going to be releasing some numbers around call reliability done by a third party survey/measurement company. It has nothing to do with a new device.

Edit: This just posted on Twitter: @VZWNetwork Verizon Wireless
The results are in! #VerizonWireless is recognized as call quality leader in 5 regions by JD Power & Associates: Verizon Wireless Recognized As Call Quality Leader In Five Regions By J.D. Power And Associates

Sorry guys.

I so much hope that Verizon proves all of your recent pesimistic posts wrong. But I will tell you that if there is not an announcement by end of tomorrow, I will probably be joining you.

Possibly. But that's a pretty thin association since LTE is a data network and not a voice network. It's like saying "We have the most reliable phones in the industry." and then jumping over to how they're changing customer service.

Not really. There is a relation. Your example doesn't have any relation whatsoever. VoLTE may not be here until 2012, but having data and voice on separate antennas makes dropped calls even less likely.

I'm not holding my breathe for anything. I have a meeting at 9:00 AM (10:00 AM EST) and it probably won't be over until after 10:00 AM (11:00 AM EST). So it's not like I'm holding my breathe, but I am tired of people having the attitude of almost enjoying making everyone pessimistic or enjoying being pessimistic themselves.

Is it that big of a deal that you people are right? Ever heard of the saying that "You can be happy or you can be right." That really applies here.

I just saw a Tweet from someone sayign that the annoucement is at 11 am, but tomorrow. Trying to wed through to find who the joker is..

I for one will wait for it... It's only a phone, an awesome phone, but netherless a phone..

 

[hitman92499]

I'm in agreement. I've been on here watching this whole thing go down with money sitting in Verizon's hands WAITING for my phone. Every glimpse of hope I have is being shattered. PhoneArena.com says the 4th...they're obviously wrong without Verizon silently releasing the phone. Verizon has that dang *phone shoved up their butts and only now realizing it was a huge mistake. My rep over at Verizon said they sold maybe three dozen. But they've got over a hundred people with money down waiting on the Tbolt. Verizon needs to figure this all out and release this phone!

Wow....

Hahaha, that got a legit LOL at work.

As someone in Oklahoma city, and remembers what a fertilizer bomb can do... I can only Shake my head as to that poorly crafted crude reference.

I thought the same thing. I was involved in the investigation at ground zero and saw things a person should never see in a lifetime. I understand the premise but bad choice of words.... I am sure you didn't mean the literal connotation

 

[nativi]

wow i just saw the end of the TBolt commercial on ESPN. No date though

 

[robdec17]

I hate to be negative but I dont think we are going to hear crap @ 11:00 or today for that matter

 

[Guntherm]
