There's a storm brewing...

It took them 1 1/2 years to get that far. I think it will take us 6 months.

So, Ben is missing...Maybe Verizon is working his arse off and he's not able to get on and talk. Or maybe he's been told to ZIP IT!

I'm glad I have College basketball to help keep me occupied since I'm getting edgy hoping for the 17th!

Another thing, I was thinking of a tweet that BMX made a week or so ago. Basically saying if the Thunderbolt didnt come out on the 17th he would even say its late/delayed!

I bet Ben was making a point when he said "it's always quietest before the storm" the other day. He knew he was going to have to mute it for a bit so he gave us one last clue.

Just so you know, the last week of March was the original launch projection like way back last year.

So if you think about it, its right on schedule. They just failed at moving it up

I think your right....maybe we'll see him come Mon or Tues. I want a Thunderbolt

 

[jayishere]

So Be5n is stalking us?

 

[unibolt]

I hope that Bennnnn is making a point with the calm before the storm comments. That would be perfect for him to pop up on Sunday or Monday and give us the news that we can FINALLY get our phones on Thursday!! Common Bennnnn, pull off a miracle and get this baby out!!

Dude, WTF I can't believe you freaking did that!!!

Just kidding I was about to do the same thing when I saw your post!

Well since bmx said there isn't anything new really happening then the 17th is still a go, but I would say as long as there isn't a change of plans over the weekend like what has happened every time so far where he has come on a told us plans were changed. I would think vz would just want to get this phone out already, the marketing aspect of it is done, everyone knows about the phone that wants to buy it right away. If there are preorders o wouldn't see why they couldn't do it a few days in advance and have them shipped to people by Thursday, bb seems like they are getting ready for it this week since we heard they were purchasing the phones and people were getting that email, which I wouldn't see why they would send them out If they didn't means something. Its been over a month since they did preorders so they could have sent them out anytime in the last month. I just want the stinkn phone already.

All due respect that is a speculative story derived from a story already discussed here. Just about every blog post out there is baseless.

 

[jayishere]

Engadget is a bunch of morons

Since Ben is still checking this place out but not posting... I think it lends credence to my thought about the calm before the storm.

 

[Bigdaddy1207]

Bmx just said earlier tonight that nothing has changed as of now, so I would of thought he might of mentioned this engagdget deal if it were true. And who knows, they could of sent that for approval a week or two ago.
