There's a storm brewing...

[blackmannx#AC]

Nothing really new to report. Hence the reason that its quiet.... Ipad launch isnt really that much of a factor when it comes to the thunderbolts... interesting launch particulars.

But like they said.. Quiet before the Storm.. now if its a good storm or a **** storm.. thats remains to be seen..

So the 17th is still looking good, that's what I take that as. With all the stuff that has been going on today it seems like the 17th is good and as far as anyone saying that the other dates looked good to, well this the actual time vz had planned on releasing it anyway so its good to see all the leaks and things. If bb is ordering there tbolts I would say next week and the 21st at the latest.

I've mostly just been reading and following along with this Thunderbolt thread and the many, many posts that are out there trying to figure out the launch date and I think, through my extremely analytical mind, I've got it figured out.

The Launch Date Will Be.......................................





























On a day that ends with the letter "Y"



Sorry, I just couldn't help myself.

Thanks for the post, but the last part ("now if its a good storm or a **** storm.. thats remains to be seen..) worries me. As the owner of a Storm one, just the word "storm" worries me, lol. Just saying "cloud" instead of "storm" would have helped.

Its a longshot but this is what my theory is:

Verizon couldn't get the LTE fixed in time, so its going to last resort route and going to lock or already did lock the 4G until its ready and now its waiting for HTC's approval whether or not it will be ok to release in that condition.

Then shortly after that conditional approval post showed up on the interweb, that HTC rep posted that it was coming the 17th, most confirmation we've gotten in a long while by HTC themselves. yeah it was removed probably because he wasn't supposed to post it, but it was too late, the news outlets used his tweet as confirmation etc.

Then when the press release comes out, it will say something along the lines of "coming in a future update, the ThunderBolt will have fully activated 4G LTE along with a launch of new markets to compliment it"

When purchased, ThunderBolt owners will be grandfathered in to Unlimited 4G until tiered pricing becomes available, sign up before its too late.

Thats MY theory in a nutshell.

Stopped by an Apple store because my wife wants an iPad2 (I'm not going to tell her what to buy... that's the only way to keep a happy marriage)... the line was WAY, WAY TOO LONG.

We went over to the nearest Verizon store expecting a line waiting for the iPad2... no line. They sold out of their stock and it was only 6pm... not good considering the Apple store had well over 100 people waiting in line... a line was not willing to wait in. The Verizon rep was trying to sell us an iPad first gen... not going to happen.

I asked about the Thunderbolt... still no word that they we willing to talk about. I'm sure they will have to wait for the official word, but he did say he has handled one... and we know a rep is going to do nothing but try to sell me on it if I'm interested in it.

So, the Verizon iPad2 thing is not all that big of a deal.

Update from BGR: Verizon’s ThunderBolt to launch March 17th, tweets HTC sales manager [updated] | BGR

Think it is an attempt to claim your opinion is that of "Conspiracy theory" as is the second shooter in JFK assassination who claimed to be on the "Grassy Knoll", but just meerly a guess.

P.S. Called for my daily Verizon check and they still have nothing in their system on which billing system it will release on or release dates. Big suprise I know right

Was just going to post about this. Its looking good for the 17th!

No. VZW doesn't come back from that for at least 6 months and HTC is pissed.

And I just read the last...

UPDATE: That didn’t take long. Mr. Shahid has removed the tweet from his account.

He probably got his hand slapped, because Verizon has not Officially announced this yet.

 

[unibolt]

I don't really understand why his tweet was taken down if it was the truth. Would Verizon be mad if someone but them broke the news or something? I think HTC has every right to announce it at this point, I mean they are the ones getting screwed the hardest at this point. Htc that is!!

hence my angry eyes

and HOW exactly is that a conspiracy theory? Ben already said it was one option they were going to consider to get the phone out on time and just unlock the 4G with a system update once the LTE is ready.
