There's a storm brewing...

That is a good point! I am very curious to see what VZW charges for the TBOLT after seeing 199 at wirefly.

Seeing the T-Bolt sell for $199 at wirefly made me a lot more optimistic about the price at Verizon. I was ready to pay $300, so if it's $200, it'll be very fitting to save a little green on St Patty's Day.

Your phone comes pre-loaded with Bob as the Turn-by-Turn directions voice.

lol... I actually got a good laugh out of that. My god that would be awful, ill stick with VZW!

yeah. and i feel a lot better about spending so much on an extra battery, charger, case, and screen protector. w00t. time to try to sleep.

so probably $250 from verizon?

 

[Thundercat]

$250 is what they told me, but who knows?

so probably $250 from verizon?

Thats what the MAP'd pricing was set at

so its quite possible that even a

1 year could be $329 - INSTANT PRICE SAVINGS - $249.99 ?
2 year could be $249 - INSTANT PRICE SAVINGS - $199.99

remember no more rebates for the expensive $200+ phones

I was comparing Verizon's full retail prices against Wirefly and there seems to be a $50 difference with Wirefly being cheaper. So if that's the case...$200 on Wirefly.... I would say the estimates of $250 on Verizon would be correct.

We should find out in a few hours if they release the press release around the same time they did for the XOOM (which was a little before or after 8am EST)

Man who can keep up with this thread and the fast movign news.

Tried the wirefly, but no matter how I did it, even upgrading any line, it wanted me to pick a plan. It doesn't seem to allow you to upgrade the phone without selecting plan options... Which in effect can change your plan..

Anyone notice htcsense.com is down for "maintenance"....
I've been looking at that site every day now or every other day.
It would be nice to see the Tbolt as one of the available phones when it comes back up...that would be a good sign too!

Yeah it has been down for a couple of days now... hopefully adding the TB.

3...2....1.... announcement? I need this today so I can start being productive at work again!

3...2....1.... announcement? I need this today so I can start being productive at work again!

no joke. my productivity level is proportional to the amount of time remaining til the phone is in my hands.

at which point my productivity level will flatline for at least the next week.

Haha no crap. I was so caught up in all the launch rumors in February I just had to put it out of my mind for a while.

Anything new since 5:00PM yesterday? No way I can sit here and blow 2 hours at work reading 70 pages.

Last I heard was the leaked product page, and about 50% of the VZW corp store had knowledge of Thurday. BB seemed to still be in the dark.

Thanks!!!

I guess nothing technically official from VZW yet but considering Wirefly is taking pre orders and saying the phone will ship out Thursday, as well as all the other information that came out yesterday, I'd say we're golden.

VZW should have a press release within a couple hours here.

Now you can preorder at Wirefly for $199, but be careful to make sure you can get the plan you want. Also the user manual and a home-page ad is up on verizonwireless.com

Really?
I was just on it yesterday, I swear...I always go to the home page and click on create account (or maybe it's join now) and see what phones they have in the drop down.
They just added the ATT inspire a few weeks ago.

Interesting!
