Thunderbolt - Best Buy Availability/Pricing/Ordering Discussion

[anon(157335)]

just went into a local store and they done have em here or any other location in Houston. More waiting until the 24th I guess.

Called my local BB just now and was told that it would be for sale on the 26th.

Who knows.

Payed attention much?

Have anyone besides me noticed that on the Bestbuy add it says March 2011...
Wouldnt that make you think the TB is releasing in March?

So how did it end up in the Best Buy WEEKLY ad for Feb 20/26? You're looking at the Mobile Guide.

the mobile buyers guide is from today till march 26. its a monthly ad. but this weeks ad 20-26.

the weekly ad is sent out in sundays paper, an more seen to the public. that mobile is a pick up in stores. im expecting 24th still, but 28th at latest....if it falls back further

But look how long it's valid.

Just called my local Best Buy, the rep said that the HTC Thunderbolt is NOT in stock...He said it would be available "around" the 26th...When I mentioned the sales ad for this week showing the HTC Thunderbolt on sale, he stuttered saying, "we know, but Verizon pushed the date back"...

That is exactly what the CSR on the phone told me when I called Best Buy's 888 number. He said that according to his supervisor VZW pushed the date back because of "iPhone sales situation"

Mine doesn't say March anywhere.

of course it will be valid for a month because it is MONTHLY buyer's guide.

The issue here is that it also appeared on the WEEKLY circular that is valid till FEb 26.

ROWDY is talking about the monthly Buyer's Guide, not the weekly circular.

 

[ShaggyKids]

That's exactly the ad here from yesterday. Looks to me like it would be for sale like all the other phones to the left of it.

But they are throwing hints...
- March 2011 on the fron cover along with Thunderbolt
-Then if you turn to the 2nd page it talks about 4G phones and March
Wouldnt you think they are saying this is what we should be looking forward to in March?

Not really, since it's effective from today till like mid to late March they had to make it relevant. Plus it seems that no one knows when the TBolt will be coming out as it is.

Me and a co worker both have it on pre order and he called today to get the pricing and was told that it was bumped that it would NOT be here on the 24th and they didnt have a date to give on when it would be coming.
