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?

uses a standard microUSB cable, so does the Droid phones including Incredible, DON'T waste money on Verizon branded cables especially if there standard issue cables like micro USB and mini USB

Thanks! Great to know, I don't have to shell out any more money on cords! Now, if I can just find a desk cradle/dock for this thing, I'm set!!!

the desktop/multimedia dock for the ThunderBolt - $59.99
car mount is $29.99
 
I just talked to Best Buy and my phone is sitting waiting. I guess we know what the AC podcast will be about this week.
 
Now that the TBolt has been announced I can come back and there should be no hostility between folks so what did I miss in the 600+ pgs that have been added?
 
I'm sure all the long term Verizon customers know about this however as someone who will be a first time customer I thought I would post this info.

Verizon offers discounts to employee's who work for select corporations. I'm seeing 22% off plans and 35% off accessories.

i cant find any media docks anywhere, some help with this. im def interested in getting one. tho i might stop in a verizon store tonight an make appointment for thursday afternoon since i gotta work
 
I'm already under verizon with that plan with the BB Storm. It was a short promo they were doing and I took advantage to decrease my data plan costs because I don't use that much data.

So anyone know? (being able to use the LTE network under the 150mb plan)

You'll have to ask a verizon rep. sometimes you get grandfathered into stuff. I was an alltel customer before they were acquired by verizon, therefore i get free text messages, even though I don't have a plan that includes text messages.
 
Does it come with a password vault pre-installed? I'm looking for one that is just on the phone and not stored in the cloud?
 
I just had an interesting online chat with a Best Buy customer service rep.

Notice how she never answered one of my questions and turned this chat into a debate which I backed out of after a short while.

7:15 PM L***: Thank you for contacting Best Buy Mobile! My name is L*** and I'll be more than happy to help you out with any questions you have today. Just so you know, this chat will be monitored and recorded for quality purposes. Now to start off, can I get your email address and telephone number so that I can further assist both of us today?

7:15 PM L***: Thank you so much for verifying that information! How can I help you out today?
7:16 PM Prakash: I was going through the specs of HTC Thunderbolt and I have a question
7:16 PM Prakash: According to the specs "microSD card slot
Allows you to store or transfer media (card not included)."
7:17 PM Prakash: Isn't a 32GB microSD card supposed to come pre-loaded with the phone?
7:17 PM L***: The card will be included.
7:17 PM Prakash: Ok, I can breathe now ...
7:18 PM Prakash: Having bought a phone at BBY, can I buy Verizon's asurion insurance instead of Black Tie protection?
7:19 PM L***: Just for your information we still do not have a confirmed release date for the 17th.
7:20 PM Prakash: This is what it says on the BBMobile webiste: Coming March 17: ThunderBolt by HTC
7:20 PM L***: That is the verizons release date, best buy has not provided their release date at this time.
7:21 PM Prakash: And on Best Buy website's corporate news page I see this: "Best Buy? Confirms March 17 Availability for the HTC ThunderBolt 4G"
7:21 PM L***: If you look at the best buy website it states the phone is coming soon.
7:22 PM Prakash: So your corporate news release is a lie?
7:22 PM Prakash: Best Buy® Confirms March 17 Availability for the HTC ThunderBolt 4G – BBY.com
7:23 PM L***: I have given you the information from are website, do you have any other questions that I can assist you with today.
7:24 PM Prakash: No, but before I go, will you be able to confirm it once with your supervisor?
7:25 PM L***: This information has been confirmed by are management.
7:25 PM Prakash: Okay, thanks.


Tomorrow if I don't hear from my local Best Buy I am going to cancel my preorder and getting the phone from Verizon.
