My wife's uncle has the EVO and he always gets one bar of normal signal at most in our house and no WiMax signal. Meanwhile, we get 3-4 bars of Verizon at any time and our house is dead center of a big LTE signal.
There's a storm brewing...

Thats exactly what I'm sayin' and Wichita...REALLY! Wow..that some BS if they get 4G before us because they are not even to our caliber. You they may as well give it Stillwell and Ottawa before the KC Metro then!
sorry don't know if this has been posted yet but might as well fuel the speculation fire... HTC ThunderBolt 10/24 Pattern Tipped for Release Date | Android Community
I highly doubt these deals won't have anything to do with the Thunderbolt or the iPad2. These deals are going to be about old phones. Just like what they did for the first week of February. Did anybody check those deals out? I did and they sucked.
yup, my parents switched over to sprint after years being at verizon because sprint was cheapernow i dont have free min talking to them, and they have such bad reception...just to talk to anyone, they have to go outside
dont know if in your area verizon has friends in family. which i have in my plan and can call any number from any carrier or landline as not a 800# for free.. no additional chareges... believe you have to have a certain plan ithink minmum 1400 min plan...u can add 10 numbers total which helps a lot on your talk time....
seen that yesterday.............. didnt want to read 500 postings to find out if someone had posted....sounds fishy..........
Yeah, that was brought up before. I'm very dubious. It sounds like it was written by a high-schooler. I wouldn't trust it.

No Drama on my end...
I am planning for the 17th...this seems reasonable. If it is later than that...I am moving to "PAUSE"
If I have enough self control (and that is a big IF) I am going to wait a week or two to determine the following:
1. Is the phone ready to rock and roll or was it launched with some issues
2. When my contract comes up can I make a reasonable decision that the thunderbolt will be my best bet or will another HTC phone be a better bet (not At&T so much... but the other carriers are pretty good where i live)?...

Not to mention it was from a Verizon rep... I don't really have much faith in them when it comes to release dates. The last rep I talked to told me it would be out on February 17.
Maybe this will put the data tiering in perspective. It is from December. What are the expected download throughput on a 4G like the TB?

Unless there is some major change, (and I mean MAJOR) I think it will be the 17th as well. I originally said the 10th, but that was before the crApple iPad was announced. Hopefully at this time next week, we will be basking in the new announcement glow.

I don't drink SA so I don't know much about Brick Red. I guess it is year round. But I could be wrong.
I'll be in Boston the weekend after TB launch to test LTE. LTE is not making its appearance in my neck of the woods until later this year (or even later).

I want to believe you Bennnnn
the truth is out there...
Shoulda posted 867-5309...
somebody did right after the op put the actual verizon rep's phone number on the thread
its super absorbent!
but as of getting an actual camera- we have an intova IC12 right now that does 12mp, not too bad, but i totally understand getting an SLR, i really want one, but im thinking with all the other expenses (ie. phones lol) we will have to wait on a way better camera
plus my husband is way into sharing our vacation pics on facebook with the fam and friends, and 8mp is way better than 3.5
gotcha- if thats the case you might want to have an extra micro sd card just in case your phone is also full of video and music and games so you don't run out of space for pics.
I knew unlimited 4G grandfather plan was too good to be true. Is the 4G pricing tier going to change the pricing of 3G too? If thats the case, I'm going out and getting an incredible with unlimited data right now...
considering you can get a DInc or DX for (less than) half of what the TB will be, they're pretty attractive deals. Plus, how much am I really going to face chat? Especially when I am trying to stay under a data cap...
Now I'm all caught up on the days news.
Which is why I asked for the expected throughput on 4G phones. (opps I just said 4G like TB, sorry)
I'm a beer-drinker in the Boston area and I've never even heard of that brew, much less seen it, lol. I Googled it to confirm it's existence though, ha ha. Apparently, it's a rare, specialty brew that's only available on tap, which explains why I've never seen it, as I don't go out to bars very often.
On topic (kind of), how much do you think I'd have to slip a VZW employee to get them to move my NE2 upgrade date up, so I can get the TB upon release? $50? $100?
The point was not the method, it was the logic. Faster speeds chew through data much faster (duh). Netflix, Google Cloud services, etc. are great, but they'll be burning data faster than we're used to. Capped data is going to be a major problem with LTE, even for normal users.
