There's a storm brewing...

Jay, now that VZW has announced the price of $249.99, that should shoot down BBY's $299.99 price tag right?

In the BB thread, it says that the price will be $249.99 until (some day later...forget what day), then the price was raising to $299.99.

Don't know if thats true...didn't care about what day that date was because I will be picking up mine on Thursday.

[edited] Here's the official price for BB...and the $299.99 price starts on March 20th.

FINALLY.... maybe my life can go back to somewhat normal again.

I do have one question... I was a former Alltel customer and still have the same plan. Will they make me change my family plan to sign a new agreement. I've been told that I could keep it in the past. What are your thoughts?

Has it been noted that on the specs page that Cory posted, it shows "removable memory as 16gb"???

HTC Thunderbolt

I don't see any notice of a 32gb card. Could they have downgraded that?

Best Buy Mobile's facebook page says "special launch price of $249.99 till March 19"........what does that mean? Price going up after March 19? or Down?

No, it's a 32gb card for sure. Even listed in the TBolt user guide on VZWs site.

No, the official Verizon press release still says a pre-installed 32GB microSD card.

They can't do that when VZW is selling at $249.99 .. don't they have to match VZW price?

 

[libraryclg]

Just when I thought my Verizon guy forgot about me I got a text this morning from him. I called and set up an appointment for 9am, he said he'll let me know what inventory looks like tomorrow. Woohoo!

I don't believe they "have" to do anything with price matching...but it wouldn't be to their benefit to sell these for $50 more than down the street.

Perhaps they are just trying to get an extra $50 out of people that are "not in the know" and will price match to whoever asks...dunno.

This is just what the official announcement from BB says.

If only they matched online prices. That $200 at wirefly is tempting.

Finally got a good verizon rep on the phone at a store not too far away. Made a tentative appointment with him at 8:30 on Thurs AM. He is going to make sure they get their shipment in first and give me a call.

Yeah, too bad they don't match online prices.
