There's a storm brewing...

Just went to my local store and they plan to call me tomorrow to let me know when to come in on Thursday, and will put my name on a TB. I take it since I spoke directly with a specific rep, he will be the one setting me up in order to get his cut.

So now I have a phone waiting at this store and BB.

Very cool. I have one at BB but I was going to surprise my wife with one but I have to wait a month for the upgrade. They are moving it up 45 days but that makes it April 17th... maybe I might have other LTE phone choices by then.

I have to say if that Moto Droid Targa was coming out before the Bionic I'd consider that regardless of Moto. Anyone see how slick that was and supposedly has 4G
 
Anyone notice the accessories listed for the ThunderBolt in the developer PDF.

The wireless charging is listed so theres definitely an accessory coming like was shown at MWC.

but what caught my eye was HDMI adapter, that means this phone supports the MHL interface. Which uses microUSB to HDMI, like the Galaxy S phones do.

http://developer.verizon.com/downloads/OEM_PDF/HTC_Thunderbolt.pdf

Accessories Supported: HDMI Adapter, Wireless Charging , Extended Battery (3.7VDC, 2750mAh), Audio
Adapter, Car Kit, Car Charger, Mono BT Headset, Standard Battery, USB Sync Cable, AC Adapter, Simple
Pouch
 
what happened to the "thunderbolt for $100?" thread ? cuz besbuy took down that article on their bestbuy mobile page... Lol

Yeah, I asked about that in one of the threads, can't remember which one. It appears they accidentally listed all the specs (pricing + technical specs) of the Incredible, and then took it down once they realized it. I was asking what the odds are of BB honoring their mistaken price. My guess is, not good.

Targa likely won't be out this year. They announced their 4G lineup at CES.

If it is out this year, I'd expect sometime in Q4.

somebody had posted the pdf file of the screen shot so if u printed and take it in u should be able to get it honored :confused:
 
Um...this might be a little off topic but I just did a chat with best buy mobile...read this:



5:51 PM Suzanne Henderson:
Great....do you have any information as to when the HTC Thunderbolt can be ordered online?
5:52 PM Susan:
We do not have any official information on the thunderbolt.
5:52 PM Suzanne Henderson:

5:52 PM Suzanne Henderson:

5:53 PM Susan:
We had information that Verizon will release it thursday.
5:53 PM Suzanne Henderson:

5:53 PM Susan:
But at this time we do not know if we are going to release the device Thursday as well.
5:54 PM Suzanne Henderson:
ok...thank you for your time.


Yes, this just happened......anyone else find this odd them saying that they "do not know if they are going to release on Thursday"???? I thought this was national?

No email from Verizon. I signed up on the TB page. Are they gunna wait till Thursday to send emails?
Yea, seriously. I signed up too quite a while back. Even did the Twitter thing. Nuthin. Nada. Not a word from them on anything. I think their media communications guys are doing a very poor job.

Didn't you hear? You have to get the email, print it out, and provide identification before you can buy the TB. Look at the first post in this thread! Better look in your junk mail folder!!

JK... I don't think anyone got the email.

That's what I had hoped, but after doing some research, it appears that according to BB's policy, they can revoke offers or correct pricing errors even if a customer's credit card has already been charged (they did this previously when they mistakingly marked a big screen tv for $9.99). So, it would seem that your only chance of getting them to honor that price is if you find an employee who doesn't know any better.

Perhaps jayishere can comment on this?

The email will likely be when we can order before its put on the main page so it doesn't have a whole mob of people all at once to order it

Last year that happened for the Incredible and it crashed the website multiple times before i could even get my order in.
 
Just got back from the Dr. I have an ear infection and an upper respiratory infection. Don't feel bad for me... I'm off tomorrow and if I still have a fever tomorrow, my Dr is writing me out of work for THURSDAY as well. Whatever will I do ALL DAY!?!?!

Pray for me (to have a fever tomorrow) ;)
 
I bought the car mount today from Verizon, when I went in to make my appointment for Thurs 9am!!!!!!!!!

I'm hoping that it will take the same micro usb charger cord that I have been using with my OG Droid. The Verizon brand one. Anyone know? Will the TB use the same data usb cable as well?
