HTC Thunderbolt tipped to launch March 17th, again -- Engadget

i am pretty sure this is the first article from a "legitimate" source outside of the forum community. take that for what it's worth.

I just called my local MetroPCS and a guy named Ranjit answered and I asked about the TB. He hung up on me.

My friend just got a call from a verizon store manager confirming the 17th. Sooooo excited, hopefully I can get one before they are sold out :\

just walked to the store by my job, and they said they have not been informed of a release date. the guy said he doesnt like to speculate, but he continued to speculate anyway, by saying it should be soon since they have been receiving accessories

If I have my pre-order from BBY, and I can't go before work on Thursday, will I still have my shiny 4G toy waiting for me before they close? I live in Manhattan so it's a high-traffic store.

hooray for $249!

Amazingly, we still do not have final pricing and plan information for the ThunderBolt. And we still don't have a ship date. We may have a new video coming up on the ThunderBolt, however.

As soon as we have pricing and availability information, we'll make it public.

I just got off the phone with God and he said that the Thunderbolt will definitely launch on the 17th.

That's about as final as it gets right there. The 17th. Mark it down.

 

[panitsos]

Ok so hopefully it all points to thursday for the release, only thing that troubles me is, some of you guys said you called the stores and they told you to be in early cause they only will have 8 phones and someone else said they were told they would only have 10 phones in stock etc. Didnt ben tell us that there would be plenty of phones available? Why would the stores say that? Just to get the people in?

Thunderbolt confirmed!

Just talked with Verizon and he said they just announced the Thunderbolt for release this Thursday the 17th!!! No data plans have been announced yet for the 4g but he thinks for now it will be unlimited until this summer. (I hope we will be grandfathered in for the unlimited

Glad I am Irish so I can have an extra special St. Patty's Day!
