Verizon just called me and I have an appointment @ 9am Thursday to pick up my phone. She said she is %100 sure it will be there.. Middle Tn area here

Where are all people (I don't want to say the "t" word, they seem to get very upset at that, but have no problem throwing insults at everyone else) that were sooooo adamant that the phone wasn't coming out on Thursday? I simple apology is all that is needed, or at least admit that you were wrong.

As much as I am set on the Thunderbolt, I have to say, if it is $300 on contract, that is kind of a joke.

I have a question; if I buy my TB @ BB will I get the VZ insurance program?

Why is the Hilton London Paddington Hotel selling a phone? Oh well, good luck.

Bah!. It's in Tripoli. Yuk Yuk Yuk? Oh well.:-!

funny alot of the people claiming on here they just talked to verizon and they said its a go for the 17th only have one post. i am just saying.

I can't believe people are still wanting this phone. My upgrade is in a few months who knows what's going to be out. I'm hoping for a low power consumption dual core from HTC the TB is snappy but that adreno 205 is waaaay behind

I don't think so. Locking in unlimited 4g for 2 years is where the value is. If you wait till other LTE phones come out, even if the sell for $200, the savings from unlimited LTE will quickly make up for the extra $100.

'Cause there's a storm brewing in Tripoli ... a different kind of storm though.

I just got back from a VZW store. Thursday it is! I have the first reservation .. if they can get me an early upgrade that is. Now, to deal with BB and my pre-order / iPhone debacle

 

[canesfan44]

I called my closest Verizon store and they said nothing, but he did say the he heard it would be out Thursday, but didn't say where he heard it.

then you will be waiting quite a long time. Neither this phone or the dinc2, or the merge will have dual core. Dont expect that until this time next year, or november/christmas time of this year. HTC will probably announce the HTC Desire HD2 at CTIA, with release in europe and asia this summer. Then, it will release here in the time frame I just mentioned. Their dual core offering will totally outperform the tegra chips, so worth the wait - unless you get the tb on a one year contract of course. Then you will have your upgrade timed perfectly!

You got it right away.

That's an excellent point. I've been heavily leaning towards a 1 year contract, but if it's unlimited LTE data for $30, I'm locking it in.

i swear i was gonna wait till i got my tb before my first post..........................so if i dont have a tb in my hands come thursday it leaves me with no choice............i'm punching a baby!!!!

Good question. I will call verizon tomorrow and find out. I also wonder what the major differences between Verizon's asurion insurance and BBY's Black Tie protection program are. Anyone has this info?

 

[Edwill86]

I want to start by saying that I am not trolling, not looking for attention. I am just sharing information with fellow enthusiast.

If you go back and read my previous posts, I talked about how I asked various reps at various stores to call me once they got any information.

Today one of the reps called me and told me that they already have the phone in stock and the green light to begin selling them this Thursday. I asked if this was official information from Verizon Corporate or just rumors he heard, he told me this is direct from corporate, the phone is already in stock at their store.

He told me that he is holding on to 4 of them for me, and to come in at 10am to pick them up.

I want this to be true, I hope it is true. He is making some bold claims by saying they already have it in stock, but idk, just thought I would share with everyone else.

Did they give you any Pricing info at all?

My VZW store just called me...

Hey everyone, this my first post. Just wanted to say what's up, and my local store just called me (the girl I bought my ZOOM from) and told me that the bolt will be there on Thursday, and set me up an appointment for noon. I know take it the way you want, but I think Thursday is the day.

I also think it's funny that people won't buy this phone because of how long the had to wait. So, they decided to wait longer for another phone, and, of course, they never even thought about the possibility that that phone might also get delayed. So they're upset about having to wait, so they chose to wait longer for a device that might also get delayed, so they'll have to wait even longer. I like that logic: Verizon made me wait a little, which upset me, so I'm just going to wait a couple months longer to do some more waiting.
