From Twitter: "Thunderbolts are go!!!!"

[lapeter]

My Verizon insurance is covering the refurb. Storm2. I am still getting the TB with my upgrade. I should have explained.

Wow. I don't envy you for having to make a tough decision like that ... Storm 2 or TB ... Good luck to you!

phone tester i believe, def one of the best insiders dropping clues an info with twitter an in the forums

 

[Phil Nickinson]

Yeah. Sounds like they finally got their **** together inside Verizon, and the phone's ready for the rest of us. Hopefully we'll get a launch date in the next few days.

I don't like the sound of that...

 

[Chrisy]

Maybe it's a distraction so we stop talking about his slip up.

anyone want to share why this BMX guy is so important? just curious..

He is a tester for Verizon but has some major connections within Vz. He has a proven track record of releasing inside information about devices and has a clear view of when they will be released. Meaning he doesn't buy into the hype when leaks like Feb 14th, and 28th for the TB are floating. He has been saying March since October. He constantly gets the new devices and tweets/blogs about them as well. Extremely helpful source.

Must be a record. This all reminds me of when CrackBerry.com blew up when the Storm was announced and released.

AC better start preparing! John, you here?

now hes tweeting about Data plans.



"Yea,, everyone wants 30 a month. Same as 3g.. but u can use 12gb a month on 3g and not get overage. Wait till jr runs up a 400 data bill."

Also, that twitter link dont work anymore.

He meant to send the tweet as a DM. He removed it. Read this whole thread for all the deets.

That doesnt sound good

 

[Chrisy]

How much can VZW charge for phone data. I mean c'mon. Who is going to pay $45+ a month for data on a cell?

People who have been on a smartphone with data for a while and are used to it. They won't be trying to justify $45/month they will be justifying $15/month extra for great speeds. I'm not saying that $45/month is acceptable just that people will still go for it that have been on a $30/month data plan on Verizon with (if you're lucky) 1-ish mbps.

uh oh! hearing this from him isnt good lol

 

[FatTony666#AC]

Since he is talking now about overage, I'm guessing he means that it will not be unlimited 4g and the overages may be pretty hefty. I really don't use data like I used to on my non-wifi Storm 1 so data consumption is no longer an issue for me. I just would like to be able to download the latest CM nightlies at work OTA.
