There's a storm brewing...

[Atrav]

This is really starting to frustrate me beyond belief. My wife and I are stuck in AT&T land until the 14th of this month when her contract expires and we can leave them. She is an iPhone user while I'm an Android user. We decided either Sprint or Verizon and we chose Verizon for the phone choices. She can still have the iPhone and I an Android phone. The constant delays and lack of a solid release date has me worried about joining Verizon. I really want the Thunderbolt but if this phone isn't released by mid march I will just have to get an iphone. I could get the Droid X or Incredible but neither of those phones have a front facing camera for video chat. You may ask why I want a phone with that feature. Well my wife is pregnant and when our child is born I want to see my lil man or my princess while I'm at work. So the Tango app will take care of that for me. Again this is really frustrating and I wish Verizon would so something.

Do you and your wife have iPhone v android conversations?

My wife is not tech savy at all. As long she can make/receive calls and texts she is happy.

Bennnnn, are you out there today?

 

[pstellato73]

I got the Droid Incredible yesterday and if the TB isn't out in 28 days then I will have to go get the iPhone my wife is pregnant and I need a front facing camera

I think Verizon's return policy is now only 14 days, not 30 anymore. So you only have 12 days to return it.

Right. It's 14 days. Best Buy still has 30 day policy.

Trust me, we would know if reviewers had this phone already. They don't.

For some reason I'm thinking the same. That's why I had to bring it up. Feels like some strange ish is going on.

@ paulmike3 - You really need to change your avatar. Every time I'm scrolling down through the posts and catch that big flash of red, I think it's Bennnnn's Verizon avatar and get excited at the thought of some breaking news, but then my hopes are dashed when I see that it's only you. No offense.

 

[Bennnnn]

At work. Nothing new to report as of now. I'll let you guys know if anything comes up!

 

[prakash99]

Thanks, Bennn. For at least acknowledging that.

 

[Green_Laser]

Well crap...I saw Be5n and got excited for a quick second...BOOM...nothing new.

Hope you got some good news for us brother.

So what does this mean? Another last minute postponement from VZW? Why? More problems with the phone / LTE network? To make room for iPad 2 launch? Waiting for tiered data plan to be finalized, so that Boltaholics can also be bound to the LTE data plan?

Surprise! No over night announcement!
Who could have seen it coming?
Sigh.....

 

[Green_Laser]

Bennnnn,
in the meantime while you guys figure out how to release an announcement for the announcement date, can you help me out figure if skype will be 'baked' into Sense OR if the tbolt will not be able to run skype video for video chat?

it would be sad if the tbolt cant do skype video and that a line in our family plan can with a iphone4 which is about 9 months old technology.

Ummm pockets is not what I had in mind. I did not write what I was actually thinking as it would be inappropriate.

Bennn might be good for Release and general info on the Tbolt but as he has said he is in the corp finance section. I would highly doubt if he has the answers to your software questions at the moment.

These questions can only be answered when the retail version of the phone hits a reviewer's hands.

I thought Verizon of all companies would be able to throw their weight around a little more while dealing with Apple, but sadly it appears that they aren't. I still think they can, it just seems that they don't want to.
