Hey guys, check out HTC's updated spec page

they just changed the ThunderBolt's specs

HTC ThunderBolt?„? at Verizon

On that page, the mobile hotspot feature is listed as allowing 5 simultaneous connections. This conflicts with what HTC reps were saying at CES, which was 8 connections.

I'm never going to use more than 2 or 3 connections, and I'll most likely use "Wireless Tether for Root" from the Market since hotspot is free that way, but I just thought I would point it out for those of you who were planning to use the built-in hotspot feature for 6+ devices.

you don't need to get that special hotspot app and you don't need to root to get around paying for hotspot either

all you gotta do is edit your EPST settings, and voila, its free (that includes tethering), It doesn't work on Motorola phones though LOL

#Thunderbolt devices are not yet in Verizon's "system" due to processing time. The first-line TBs are on their way. March 10 is the date.

Sorry I haven't been around much guys. Weekend are a bit hectic with the family and all. In response to this post... I'm really not sure what he is talking about... processing time? Everything in Verizon's is instantaneously updated and scheduled. This guy seems a bit fishy to me.

Goodnight all!

Not to get anyone's hopes up but... (and take it with a grain of salt but its quite possible it happened, this is a good sign if its true)

Hadn't heard that. Interesting. RT @crotana best buy had thunderbolts atleast over here in wa they sold 1 then pulled it back lol


I don't find that one bit hard to do since its not street dated in the system anymore since its still set for Feb 21st, my guess is to not add fuel to fire for speculation and release date rumors, so instead of changing it for an inevitable leak, they left it as is, plus they don't have to keep changing it every time it gets delayed :P

and not too long before that tweet:

Again, this is highly possible given that it takes systems time to update after a shipment is processed (especially if its millions of units)

for example, when we order something, we usually don't get tracking info until a day or so after but we get the tracking number the same day of the shipment being sent. Think about that

So technically, Sentrix27 and Bennnnn are both right about the shipments.

EDIT: Okay, I take that back. After reading Bennnnn's latest post about "processing" time, I'm calling BS on Sentrix27.

March 10 they both seem to agree on.

BMX says March 17.

Either one of those would be good.
