That Facebook page is a phony. They've posted a lot of wrong information and rumors that neither HTC or Verizon would have ever posted.

Ignore the "HTC Thunderbolt" Facebook page. It's a fan page created by someone trying to lead people to believe it's an official HTC page.

i dont know if i can believe that. but i can stay optimistic about it

I think all or most best buys will have it in stock on the 21st than release it on the 24th.. Makes the most sense to me.

well the bb guy on phandroid just said that if they dont get any memos telling them to hold off, we can see the phone as early as the 21st. so he has some good intel and just posted a screenshot of the bb inventory list.

While I think it'd be great... a phone that Verizon hasn't launched or isn't ready to set up on it's system (ie. CSR's trained/told to do it) won't do ya much good.

And not to dump on people's party... but that's the same system that said the 14th. so......

I went into my BB today and they confirmed the 24th date that's been floating around. They also said $249 for 2 years (already known), but said a 1 year plan would be $500 for the phone. Even pulled up a screen to show me.

Correct me if I'm wrong but in stock date and sale date are two different things???

very right. Best Buy may get the Tbolts on the 21st but probably will not sell them until the 24th. But come the 24th I will be the first one to my local Best Buy to pick up my preordered Tbolt. You can run and tell that homeboy.

Yep. Most stores get devices in a couple days before they go on sale.

My friend works at a Verizon and said they have the thunderbolts in stock and sent me this picture of the dummy. she said the 24th for sure.

Since when can BB do one year agreements?

Always. You have to ask specifically for it though.

Get pictures of the phones in stock (boxes).
They just announced in the last day or so HTC would be shipping them.

Lots of places have dummy phones and the promo materials, they got that last week.

I'd like to see a physical inventory of the phones...

(Sorry, been reading WAY too much about these phones to believe anything other than what can be proven without a doubt by pictures/proof)

Agreed. I have seen a few other people post that their friends who work at best buy say they are already in. I dont get how being that just yesterday htc said they are going to start shipping them this week, meaning verizon and best buy likely wont have them in the store until Monday of next week.

 

[upz3]

Doesn't really matter what the HTC guy said really does it? He confirmed that fact it is shipping in some matter. He never specifically said they were shipping them to VZW in the US, or if VZW will start to ship them this week, etc. Just playing with words... also if they were in stock you know we would have a screenshot by now and not of a dummy unit.

No pictures = No Thunderbolt in BB stock.

enough said!!!!!!!!

Just sayin'
