Hurt? By the time this thing gets released some of us may be bleeding from some orifices.

Wow. This Steve Jobs/Apple stuff got old real quick. It's like any of the new SNL skits. The joke didn't work the first time so we'll make a 10 minute skit around it so it keeps not being funny.

Apple isn't controlling or dictating when the TB is going to be released. This is all on VZW and quite frankly, they're making choices that the larger consumer base will embrace. This is especially true if the TB had functional/quality issues. I'm no Apple fanboy - we have two Apple products in my house (3rd Gen iPod and 2nd Gen iPod Nano) and I sincerely doubt that I'll buy any more - but Apple products do seem to create an evangelical kind of following from their users.

We're a small fanatical segment of their market and we'd like to be catered to, but the smart play for VZW is to focus on products with mass market appeal.

So can we please knock off all this nonsense that Apple is approving every step that VZW is taking right now? And can we do it quickly before someone calls Jimmy Fallon and asks him to make a skit about it?

Apple makes great computers, I own four of them. No OEM has better build quality. Otherwise I build it myself, but i am no Apple fanboy; Just happen to like a good quality product.

I just texted my Director about the statement. I'll let you guys know what he says about it, but in the mean time I need to get back to work.

Nice job trying to protect your identity.

Just think at least Verizon acknowledges this phones existance!- With the Incredible they didn't even announce it at CES or CTIA for that matter- no commercials, no Best Buy preorders till just before they announced it. It was all hush hush secret, with mysterious boxes and all.

 

[Bennnnn]

Nice job trying to protect your identity.

Thanks, but I can speak a bit more freely now... under special circumstances.

 

[NCX]

Oh, thats what you were talking bout in the PM. Way to go! i'm smarter than i thought then

Oh really? They know you're on here, or they just gave you guys the freedom to share details?

is this a hint hint, wink wink?

 

[NCX]

is this a hint hint, wink wink?

the picture was the hint

notice how it cuts off other info, JUST like the Mission 11 screenshot that was leaked today saying how iPad 2 would be launching before ThunderBolt?

YEAH, thats the hint, those two screenshots contain info we can't see because it will show something Verizon doesn't want us to see

Whatever's in that box, I'm pretty sure its the only thing I've ever wanted.

thats not a box, i'm pretty sure a box won't show the words "latest" on the bottom of the products image

I had already talked with Bennnnn via PM, he confirmed that i'm onto something but can't say, and since he mentioned that he has more freedom to talk about the stuff but with constraints, it means they know he's been on here giving us the skinny on the Tbolt.

Did anyone notice both ben and bmx are at work tonight at 7:30 lol. Seems interesting

BMX: "Still at work..ugh. People keep emailing me Malones comments. I saw them n its his call but exceed expectations is the directive .." Also "Holla later... back to work so I can get done by 8"

 

[Chrisy]

So what's the 10:08 AM?

maybe more freely like he got fired (no offense bennnnn) but constraints like verizon will track down and kill him? you never know!

[prakash99]
