There's a storm brewing...

[green77]

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?

That was a VZW Retailer

The evidence is coming in at break neck speeds. It has to be the 17th. I expect an announcement any minute now.


PS: The Panda just added me on Facebook, and said:

"Wonder if anyone will let give a panda props for predicting TO THE DAY a device launch... lmao. Panda nation is strong and haters stay silent.. lol"

I walked in to my local Verizon wireless and asked about the TB. I woke up in a daze with a pounding headache in the parking lot 20 minutes later.

I called my BB at lunch.. no clue. I told him to come here (to this forum).

Called mine this morning and they had no idea on a date. I would assume they will know tonight or tomorrow morning.

Called VZW Stores, and got a call from 1, all 3 confirmed the 17th. Called my 2 local best buys, both still have no clue.

On side note as I want to prepare for the phone and try out some new apps. Could anyone by chance tell me which twitter app lets you take the tweets and post them completely on to forums like folks do? Thanks 17th won't be here soon enough! Best part is my last final is on 17th then break till April 4th to play with the phone muahaha.

[whiteshadow001]

My BB guy told me he was gonna give the 249 price to people who preordered because thats what the started out advertising.

 

[itsdollar]

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

Best post ever

 

[panitsos]

Yes i called bb this morning, at first the girl told me the 22nd, then i lied and told her a friend of mine got a call from a bb store in california and they told him to pick up the phone on the 17th. She put me on hold then came back and told me i was right, it was a go for the 17th

 

[Littleairjordan1]

Wanted to add that I as well called and it was the 17th, but in even better news she said in regards to the data package "it should be the normal $29.99 data package for unlimited data"

Definitelty not getting a good feeling about stock. Launch delays may only be the beginng of this screwed up launch.:-\

I've tried calling the BBY I placed my pre-order at several times and no one is answering the phone. I'll try a couple more times this evening and will provide an update if I finally get to talk to someone. If not, I have a couple of errands to run tomorrow morning so I might as well swing by there.

 

[Bennnnn]

Well, looks like we'll be getting an unlimited plan after all.
