Strange though becayse BMX said the device was ready to go and there were only marketing items to get through.
Maybe some internal politics?

The battery life issue has been addressed.
To be fair, I think all the dates (Feb 14, 24, 28; Mar 10, etc..) that have been leaked so far were indeed true at the time they were leaked. But issues that we've been hearing about kept coming up (LTE handoff rebooting the phone, Skype not working, battery and firmware issues) and kept pushing the release back so that they could address and fix them.
So Verizon was taking this a week at a time ("is it ready this week yet? no?.. well then let's push it back to next week" - and so on and so on). Hence the reason they've never given a release date. That leaves the door open for them to push it back and get the phone all patched up by release.
As such, this game could continue indefinitely until Verizon fixes it all up. But it has to drop SOMETIME and it can't just sit in a warehouse forever. Barring any major issues that come up, I believe we are very close at this point and with Mar 17 being the planned data all along, it sounds like it's actually going to happen this time. Like, for realsies
Sentrix is posting at Droid Forums, Twitter, and his own blog SentNation, and even getting quoted in random no-name blogs online as a source for info! L...O...L... From what I can tell, he is a 19 year old kid who may or may not be in college. Why should we believe anything he says? Does his mom or big brother work for VZW corp.? His credibility is less than questionable after being wrong 3 times about things already.
As a software architect and developer, I am curious as to how Verizon pushes the new firmware/RUU images onto all the devices before they get in the hands of customers (assuming they already have received the devices from HTC). Do you mind explaining the exact process?
My guess is that he has family that works there. I would not doubt a brother.

Uhhh Mardi Gras is only primarily a celebration in the South with some tourism. St. Pattys day is important in Boston and New York and is a diversion elsewhere.
But... stranger things have happened.

wow
Htc shouldn't even release the phone... it's going to compete with its own phones, the trophy and incredible s. And the closer this phone gets to june, the more likely people will wait til the bionic. Verizon kinda screwed the pooch on this one. I guess that's what happens when you don't care about your customers.

If the phone wasnt ready then it wasnt ready....plus no one really knows for sure if they are going to sell the LTE phones in non LTE area's. So they will need 3G phones for those area's and people want new and improved phones to buy.
I'm just glad that Detroit went Hot back on Feb 17th and I'll be in LTE area 99% of the time.
Seems to me that if the phone was ready it would be released by now. The iphone/ipad2 thingie is just stupid. There is obviously some software or battery trouble.
HTC Trophy is a WP7 phone 3.7"
HTC Incredible S is a NON 4G phone 4"
HTC ThunderBolt is a 4G LTE phone 4.3"
and a very end one at that
If we can go by previous Droid phones, Verizon doesn't take too kindly to sequel devices.
Bionic is the only new device out of the Droid family it seems, Droid X2, Droid 3, and Incredible 2 are sequel devices with slightly upgraded specs, the X2 is a dualcore Tegra 2 phone using the same old X body.
It seems to me Motorola doesn't like to innovate in designs.
and I still think the delays were mostly because of the LTE pricing, they didn't know what to charge
There was more than a little sarcasm in my post, but it didn't come across too well. Thanks for not really ripping into me though
I think if you lived through the 1x-->3G rollout you would know. They're (the manufacturers) gonna start making every VZW phone 4G capable very soon. I'd guess that after June or so you won't see any more non-4G phones being produced for VZW. Basically only the ones already in the pipeline (since the dev/manufacture cycle is already about complete on those).
