LOL...I like the fact that you prefaced that with "based on no facts". So, that's your SWAG at it.

Looking at the developer specs posted by Cory on the 12:30 update:
HTC Thunderbolt

Are we assuming it is a typo when it shows "Removable Memory: 16GB" instead of 32GB?

Nice catch .. Interesting. Did they change it to a 16GB to bring down the cost ?

I'm really hoping that the TB is only $200. Wasn't the EVO $200 at launch? I can't imagine the TB being that much more than the EVO since they are very similar phones, except the TB has more memory. I just think if its $300 it will scare alot of people away.

I agree. I hop[e wirefly being $199 is a good sign that Verizon is the same price.

16gb is still plenty for "most" users, and at $200 would bring in a lot more money then 250 or even 300, if its 200 Ill tell the lady Ill buy two accessories if she waives my $20 fee because I have 4 months still left on my 24 month contract

The equipment guide image that was posted yesterday still had a 32G sd card listed as preinstalled.

 

[DirtMcGirt]

16gb?
Skype?
What else have they taken away? Happy it's coming out I guess... but still a little pissed we're not getting the same device that was presented initially. After that, still don't know what the tiered pricing is going to look like, bugs that will appear once a million people are running on 4G, etc... kinda nervous to be honest.

I'd rather a 16G card. Right not I have a 2G and it's completely. 16G would be plenty! And lower the cost of the device.

Not sure if anyone has posted this yet, but the TBolt user manual is available at https://forums.androidcentral.com/e...derbolt/thunderbolt_manual.pdf&token=-P6MsuJT

Upgrades are always offered at the 20 month of 24 month contracts you shouldn't have any fee or need to wait. Trust me I checked on this almost every day I have called in for past 3 weeks. Been told same thing everything that you one 1 year you can take upgrade at 10 months and 2 year you can take upgrade after 20 months into contract.

I will make sure I call around and see whats the best deal I can get, and I also about to call VZW and see whats up with this $20

 

[iLLusive]

No offense to the VZ tech specs but unless they opened up every box to pull SD card and swap it to 16GB if they did have to do firmware upgrade. I'm more inclined to trust actually HTC website who made the darn phone which is still listed as

8GB emmc + 768 RAM Memory card, preinstalled 32 GB microSD™

 

[DUSwimming08]

If its announced today (please please please) and releases on Thursday, when will they have dummy phones to play with at Verizon? (not the best buy dummy phones, I want to actually test the device out)
