Love all of the positive predictions from bmx's blog. But I am worried about this statement, "Teams have to fix some issues to make a date and are working on that.. " Seems to be cutting it pretty close, no?

An announcement with a VZW Pre-order would constitute a launch...

Im staying optimistic here, and I'm trying to think of reasons why the phone wouldnt release this week. If VZW sent the final confirmation for an HTC Approval (which usually takes 2-4 weeks), since this phone is now costing HTC boatloads of money, im sure the response was instantaneous.

The only delay I can see them using this week is: OMG THE XOOM IS GETTING FLASH ON FRIDAY! Delay, delay, DELLLLAYYYYY THE BOLT!

Nice one

Who here doesn't think the Thunderbolt will sell out? As I recall when I purchased the Dinc. The phone when back ordered shortly after release. This phone I think will be a hot seller just like the Dinc was, maybe even more. Personally, I plan on ordering the phone or being at the VZW store the minute it is avail. What about you?

Well.... I don't know if this has been said yet or not, because i'm reading all posts and am quite a few pages behind till i get caught up.. but.. back in Jan. 2011 when verizon made their announcement at the CES.. they said that there were only going to be a limited few of the T-bolts made.. just to tide over till their 4g phones were all released.. soooo.... my guess is that, i believe that once the T-bolts are out then they will be out.. i'm hoping to be one of the few that will get one or get it pre-ordered if that is going to be available.. I'm hoping i'm wrong on this, but i'm not going to take the chance if possible to miss out on one..

eve of launch... well launch would be tomorrow then...

 

[brianyu98]

I'm beginning to wonder if sense.com is getting its maintenance (since i can't even access my Hub profile) because of the Tbolt?

I know Ben5 confirmed it would get sense.com support shortly after launch but, maybe this has something to do with the tbolt in some way, even if it doesn't become available until sometime after launch via an update.

The website has been glitchy and unresponsive many times, so its leading me to believe that there prepping the site for the launch.

but again, i could be wrong

the site has been down more than 12hrs already

It's happening this week plain and simple, that refers to his poem, eve of launch thing, Ben has been quiet al weekend and if it wasn't launching he would have been on here telling is like he did the week before the 10th. It will be all over this week finally and I can't wait to take a break from this forum, it's so hard to tell yourself to just not check it for a few days, I've tried and I end up right back here checking it.
