The LG revolution is getting netflix because its processor can handle the drm. The thunderbolt has the same exact processor, so I think we'll see netflix on it in the next couple of months.
Of course the Thunderbolt doesn't support Netflix. Netflix hasn't released support for it yet. They couldn't give you any other answer. But that response on it's own doesn't mean it will never support Netflix. I wouldn't trust Verizon to be the last word on it one way or the other.
Can't say Netflix is a deal breaker for me. Like others have said, if I want to watch a movie, I'd rather watch it on a TV or my laptop, not my tiny cell phone screen. Plus, the battery would go super fast I'm sure.
