Thunderbolt Accessories at BB Feb 19

Haven't seen this on AndroidCentral or the Forums but perhaps I missed it. This would seem to support a late February launch.

This isn't good news. It debunks the Feb 11th prediction. Pushing it out two more weeks!

What? How so..? Saying that you have to go caseless for a week proves nothing..

EDIT: You know how long it took before there was a case made for the Alias 1? AT LEAST a couple of months. Releases cases and accessories later didn't stop that from going out.

Let's see if it holds up.

(Btw) Welcome to the forum.

Yeah the extd. battery is showing early April for HTCpedia so who cares what BB inventory says, it matters more what Verizon's inventory says about accessories. They actually carry stuff in stock for their phones on launch day. Not a lot but they do have cases.

well im sure verizon will have a commercial during the superbowl. hopefully promoting the bolt. tho that week is the 11th. i dont no if thats enough time to promote. tho the bowl is a huge platform to promote.

cases at bby def has nothing to do with a date, but thats the latest we will see it YAY. cause im sure they wouldnt get cases for a phone that is not yet released.

Did you read the Droid Life article. It says the accessories come out first followed by the phone after a couple of days. That makes the Thunderbolts release date the 20th or 21st, not the 11th.

I'm hoping for the 11th still.

Isn't there a rumor that BB will have exclusivity for a while?

Saw that too, but don't see it on the walmart site, and there's no link in the story. It wasn't there when that story was written either. Looks like a pshop to me.

They could be referring to inventory or in stock. I used to work for Walmart in their Wireless department and a lot of times stuff would show up a week or two before it's release either in our inventory, some sort of familiarization test, or even in stock.

That makes even LESS sense. I mean...

"Hey I got a case for my new phone!"
".. Where's the phone?"
"Dude.. Shut up. "

Just because we read it on a blog, regardless of which one it is, nothing is final until Verizon announces a date and its actually comes to fruition. Regarding BB and their accessory inventory, stop in and look for a case for anything other than an iPhone and the selection is pretty small. The accessory date isn't the big issue, its the phone's launch date that is.
