Well this is odd.

So the best buy ad for this week has the Bolt in it again. Last week they posted Correction letters in both of my best buys.

This week? Nothing.

Instead, they posted the preorder information sheet and a thunderbolt poster.


Does that mean that its coming this week?

No.

I also seen that and laughed at the fact it was SOLD OUT

The forum is unusually quiet this morning. I think everybody is waiting for the one person who has confirmation of TB in the field and available. We need that one spark and glimmer of hope that will reignite the spark.

I think we should really be discussing that horrible pictor quality. I know my moment is obsolete after 10 months from issue date but I know it takes better pics then that!

This was a screenshot that I took on my phone. Then I uploaded it to tinypic. Then I posted it here. Never intended for the pic to be of high quality. Thanks for your input though.

It actually looked that way the week prior when it was first in the BB ad cause I looked it up.

correct me if i'm wrong but last time i checked only verizon can honor the annual upgrades since its part of the New Every Two program.

ive tried using an annual upgrade at best buy a few times and they say they cant touch your contract till its actually up.

Actually, it is definitely not part of the NE2 program. It is entirely seperate. But, certainlly it could be that Best Buy cannot sell under those circumstances. I dunno... funny though, Apple Stores can.

News like that would be less spark more 30 megaton bomb.

Is that the BAMBI-NRA Blu-Ray Edition? Cool! On a sadder note,there's another sign the Bolt is going to be $300 at launch.

Adding more fuel to the "exclusive" seller debate for those that think Best Buy will be the only ones selling the phone on release day.

Sorry no way I'm going to believe anything from a site called Charlotte Smartphones... we all need to just chill... we all know this sucks but hopefully we can just keep hoping for an answer soon.

It has been there for a while...last time I checked was like ten days ago.

Quick question about Best Buy gift card policies.

If I ask for a refund on my Bolt deposit, and for some reason they retract their offer of giving me my actual cash back, when I use a gift card to buy something and return it 2 days later, will they reissue a gift card or give the amount back in cash?

This is my first try at posting pics and if I do it right, yes I know they are crappy (BB camera). I just left Best Buy and the girl said March 4th or 10th and then admitted she has heard nothing and is just following the rumors online with everyone else. The store had one display with no dummy phone and two pre-order posters out. They also had the March 2011 Buyer's Guide out, which has the TB on the front page, a TB ad on the second page, and the TB specs on the first page for available phones.
