Best Buy - Grand Rapids South Here are the release dates for new phones & devices that are coming soon to Best Buy!!

? iPhone 4 ? 2/10
? HTC Thunderbolt ? 2/14
? Samsung Presto ?Hotspot? ? 2/17
? Motorola Xoom Tablet ? 2/24

Haha! Guess they couldn't wait for Verizon to announce it themselves.
 
Well im not worried about a colored back for this phone. The grey color scheme basically tosses out the possibility of a different color back plate. I mean it would look ugly as hell
 
Tho my friend at best buy talked to guy in charge of mobile section about the bolt. He said not to expect it on the 14th. I think because the original date wasthe 24th. Now it's being bumped up. Tho I'll take his wordon how awesome the phone waswhen he got training an demo'edthe phone. It's almost here!
 
sorry didint read the article, but our RSS system says that they will be onsale the 14, and BB can do 1 year's if you specifically ask, it will be more expensive than Verizons 1 year prices, but its possible

Are you sure BB can do 1 year contracts? I've been told otherwise a couple times on this forum so I'm not sure what's right.
 
I'll be going in this Monday to pre-order then, I'm going to be busy this Sunday (Super Bowl party).

I don't think people will be rushing in on Sunday anyway lol but who knows?
 
So have we heard yet if this is ONLY for Best Buy, or will those of us with an annual upgrade be able to pre-order through Verizon for the 14th as well?
 
That's cool but ill probably just order mine online whenever I decide to get it
 
for those that think its suicide to not have it at VZW, maybe this will show you that i really dont think they give a **** right now. they have 4G, its there now, and will be there next month, 6 months, 12 months. it is only available in 18 markets right now, remember that. in comparison to iphone, which appeals to their entire network. they have plenty of time to market this phone. losing 10 days of in house sales, means NOTHING to them right now. Not to mention, you guys are thinking in standard terms of, sell more, just like many of us do daily for the businesses we work for. what you are not thinking of, is that weekly, what they want to sell more of changes. you guys are not thinking about sales metrics, contracts with suppliers, terms of contracts with suppliers, incentives from suppliers, distributors, wanting to impress apple and show the world what they have been missing out on. To a layman, yes introduce a new 4G phone and sell as many as you can, its definitely not that simple.
 
I know about squaretrade but they don't cover you if your phone is lost/stolen. I'm not careless with my phone or anything but I'd rather not take the chance so I stick with asurion.

Well, there are pluses/minuses either way, so it really depends on what fits best. SquareTrade doesn't have a deductible and will replace your phone with a new phone and not a refurbished one. And it's a one-time cost of around $70 (with a coupon).
 
I hope they tell us pricing soon. But I guess since they haven't officially announced it there is no need to tell us pricing. oh well.
 
Same here. I'm strongly considering a one year contract, which seems to only be available directly from Verizon. :(
 
I think you mean 38 markets and 60 airports -- 110 million people.

60 airports, thats actually funny! i never understood that. i havnt been to an airport in the last year that didnt have wifi. anyhow, do you really think the 60 airports are driving 4G phone sales? seems a stretch.
 
I do not have an Android yet. What has ben the past history comparing the MOTO vs HTC. I had a HTC Touch PRO Windows phone in the past and took it back to get a Blackberry. THe HTC was horribles for battery life. I Before the TP 2 I had a MOTO flip phone and it was very reliable. Hope the TP 2 was a fluke and the Thunderbolt is better.
