For the BB employees that are on this site, please post what you find out tonight. The manager told me that his computer is now updated and says "Feb 24th---subject to delay"! Please confirm this if you can. Thanks

Ahhh VZW... you suck.
 
I think this phone is going to be released on Monday the 14th by Best Buy. You won't be able to purchase one at Verizon for at least a few more days. Sprint does this sometimes. My brother works for a Sprint store and told met that Radioshack sometimes gets phones a few days ahead of them. This happened with the EVO Shift. I think that is what is going on here.

I think you're saying this to make yourself feel better. In the meantime, VZ hasn't said sht about the 14, 28th, this month or next month. They never gave ANY release date... don't understand why this is such a shocker? All the internet hype and non-factual BS by this guy and that guy's blog site is causing everyone to crap themselves prematurely.

Relax, it will be out in a few weeks... don't be such suckers for random internet info, just sayn'.

I doubt very seriously that BB employees know anymore than those of us on this site.

So the OFFICIAL Verizon video released yesterday that says February is "internet hype", "non-factual BS" and "random internet info"? So you see, VZW HAS said something about this month. If they don't plan to meet that deadline, then we every right to be pissed.

Except there's 20 days left in Febrero, so they haven't missed anything.
 
Eh I wouldn't rely on Blackman X right now, he knows as much as we do.

I'm new to these forums, and have been keeping up with phone news like crazy since CES this year.

I don't know the dude's history, so perhaps I'm missing something... but I have not seen any reason to believe that BMX is an insider in any way. Has he provided solid future phone news / screenshots in the past before it hits major phone news sites ? Confused, cause I've only seen posts that express opinions AFTER news broke, or just stuff that anyone could be making up and saying. Interested to hear more, as a lot of people seem to take his word as gold.

BMX is a network engineer and test guy for Verizon. He tests these phones for a living so I'd bet he's quite the insider.

I'll see if there system gets updated when i head up to work in a few hours. Those of you planning to jump ship...FOR SHAME!!! Right after we had that sentimental thread? Mark my words. If you jump ship, i will curse your wretched iphones with the grip of death. **** VZW iphones don't have that issue. lol. Look we've waited this long. Is 10 days going to kill you? I know you wan the phone but this is really the best part. It's sort of like Christmas as a kid. YOu would think the most fun part is Christmas day, but me personally i got bored pretty quick on Christmas. It was the night before anticipating christmas that was exciting. Theres my rant :)

The damn video wasn't even in english dude. lol. What's so difficult to understand? Just wait until they send a memo or press release out saying "this is when the phone will be available for sale" otherwise you're gonna drive yourself mentally insane.
 
Soo annoying, I've been suffering with my broken blackberry for a month, I don't know how much longer this thing is going to hold out

I've been holding out for over 7 months w/ my crackberry curve. Almost jumped ship for the Incredible, but held out even more once I heard news of the TB. This has been the worst i've ever seen regarding the release of a product & the lack of information surrounding it.

It said in big letters THUNDERBOLT. FEBRUARY. Unless Mexico changed around there dates to make February come after March, it's pretty obvious what the video is implying. Don't count lightning on top of buildings during a storm. You will die.

I am right there with you I have waited so long for this phone nothing is going to stop me from getting it. Plus I need to wave it in my cousins face for wimping out and getting the DX! His crapped out on him weeks after getting it!!!:D
