The Official Release Date Speculation Thread

I'm just straight up confused now.

It's just proof to the delay. The screenshot of the delay makes notes that HTC will/have sent their marketing/display stuff this week. They are just not allowed to showcase it at all.
 
We are a bunch of impatient people. Threatening to defect to other phones that are nearly a year old because of a possible delay that can't be more than 2 weeks if there commercial says February (i guess it says 'febrero' technically). haha.

I hate that VZW can get away with it, but I'm sticking with my decision to get the Bolt.
 
yea, i think verizon could without a problem release this phone on monday. but some odd reason, now they want to get a marketing run for it. i dont need a poster in the window, or a dummy unit. i just need the phone. i havent touched my iphone3g in 2 days. id rather go to my computer room or hall my laptop around to check on net. they keep playin around they might lose lose a customer without info soon.

an is it ironic they have feb 14th on the dummy units. they might need to push those units back to redo the date to the 28th, or even march
 
Well personally this doesn't bother me much, becuase I've been waiting for this phone to release since it was first seen as the HTC Incredible HD, then the mecha, now its the HTC chargers{Woops meant Thunderbolt. :)}

A few more days won't deal break for me, and I mean come on if you are really getting a I phone becuase TBolt got delayed, I really might question how much you really wanted this phone.

I could never go to IOs personally {No offense to anyone.}But I phones are for people who want a smart phone to look cool and have no real idea of what a smart phone can do.

Before the android platform, I had a samsung messenger touch. But I am a advid tech enthusiast and hobbiest. All i'm saying is some of us aren't really bothered by this phone. We waited months for it so why is a few days a deal breaker?

VZ never said a official date other than a March release date.

Incorrect. They never said it would be March and they have given other timeframes.

There have been three official comments by Verizon about the ThunderBolt launch date. At CES on January 6, they said the ThunderBolt would come out "first quarter" which could mean any time from January 6 to March 31. Then they tweeted that it would come "sooner than we expect" which could mean any time before March 31. In the Spanish-language commercial, they say "February".

So, the could release it any time this month and still be right on target with all of their official statements.
 
this isn't verizons fault its our fault for "confirming" the "speculated" dates, they havent given a concrete date that they have missed so honestly they havent done anything wrong, just b/c we want this phone out now...

His posted date was mid-march, FYI. I know BMX posts here so maybe he could shed some light on it.

Not exactly. At CES regarding the newly announced LTE phones, Verizon stated: "Verizon expects these consumer-oriented devices to be available by mid-2011, with some available as early as March 2011." Knowing that the Thunderbolt was going to be the first one, that put it into the March timeframe.

Eh I wouldn't rely on Blackman X right now, he knows as much as we do.

Yeah, it'll be before March. Why would VZW release an advertisement talking about February just yesterday if it was March? It'll be out before the 28th but disappointing they couldn't get their crap together.

VZW fails at device rollouts.
