How many people already gave up on Thunderbolt

I'd rather know what's coming, rather than wait and wonder about dates. We have no idea if the 24th is a hard date. March 6th is. Who knows, maybe the Thunderbolt won't even be out in February? Plus, the Atrix is cheaper, which is kinda absurd.

Semi-related, but isn't the Atrix bundled with the additional $300 laptop dock too?

It's 200 on contract, 500 off contract (makes the 750 Thunderbolt seem a bit absurd), and then the dock is another 300, plus tethering data. Dock is pricey, but the tethering data just makes it totally unreasonable.

I see.

Thank you for the clarification :)
 
Are you guys serious? Verizon hasn't announced a release date, so it can't be considered delayed. All of the dates we have heard were just tentative and rumored, it is YOUR fault for counting on something not even remotely confirmed. Do not say that since Best Buy said the 14th, that it is on Verizon for not following through.

Honestly. And for the, how much do you think Verizon is losing. Realistically, zero dollars. Considering 99% of the Verizon population knows little to nothing about this device, people aren't throwing in the towel. We are a very small minority in the informed community. Some of ya'll are acting like spoiled children. If the 24th comes and goes with nothing, THEN you can cry.

Not crying....just keeping my options open. I researched the bolt and I love it, but what we all get excited about is not all that that in 6 months (some might say or less)...Just saying! Obviously, something went wrong somwhere that is causing some kind of confusion or delay....why not look at from a positive and further research my options? That is all...Rock On Noble 4:cool:
 
I think whats getting on my nerves (and many others) the most is all of these other carriers are continually releasing new android phones, yet verizon has not released any new ones in a while.. Sprint, at&t and tmobile have all been releasing new phones lately, what has verizon released lately outside of the iphone? It's getting pretty old.

This made me laugh audibly. Yea Sprint is really on a roll with their new DS phone that's still months off, and T-Mobile releasing their 2.2 update for the Vibrant in the form of a brand new phone.

Me waiting on the Bionic isn't a kneejerk reaction to the TB delay btw, I just came to the conclusion that its not worth my upgrade.
 
I've never seen a bunch of sorrier pansies that the bunch of you who are waiting for the TBolt but are giving up for another phone because you just can't wait a couple farking weeks for it to come out. I don't think Verizon would care about you, and I am getting pretty tired of reading that crap over and over again from you. So, if you're giving up because you wanted the TBolt today based on a few unsubstantiated rumors and could not, I have no sympathy for you.

It is coming. I don't know when, but for those of you waiting, it would be well worth the wait. For those of you wimps just giving up, hey... it's your loss.

You just earned the first "thanks" I've ever given on this forum.

If you're someone who is giving up on the device, and moving on, then honestly there's no reason for you to announce it here. We're here because we plan on getting it.

Anyways, I won't be giving up unless it gets to be March. Like I've said, I have a great deal going. I'm the third line so I'll only be forced to pay $30/month (though I usually pay more if I have it just to help out). I'm not waiting for the Bionic, and there's nothing else coming that I care about. The Thunderbolt is the phone for me.

Actually, the title of the thread suggests that people who are giving up on the TBolt to post here so they are allowed to state their opinions. I just ask that you respect others opinion in the process.
 
The Thunderbolt still looks pretty good to me. I can't imagine not having more info before the week is out. With that BB Ad to be circulated on Sunday we should have some answers. And Engadget's review of the Atrix was good, but the speeds were less than desirable. I'm sure it looks gorgeous and doesn't get bogged down, but isn't data the sole reason you have a smartphone? I'm sticking with VZW's LTE
 
I can't give up on the Thunderbolt. There aren't many great alternative around here. IMO, the Atrix would be a player if it wasn't saddled with a slow 3G-renamed-as-4G network. Sure, the hardware specs is game changing, but being on AT&T kills it for me. The soon-to-be-released Samsung Galaxy S 4G would be a nice phone, if only it weren't all covered with plastic. My needs doesn't require a dual core setup right now, and the TB allows for a quality handset on a great stable network. I'll be happy with this phone until quad-core mobile computing is standard.
 
I'm using my OG Droid and no problem waiting for the Bolt to come out. I'll buy it at Costco's where I have a rewards coupon from American Express. Hate to give up on my Droid! I've kept it longer then any other phone. I can't wait to see how fast Verizon's LTE network is.
