Thunderbolt Confirmed in this week's Best Buy Ad

[octobermagic]

Hey Folks. Just wanted to let everyone know the leak is real. The TB is in this weeks BB ad. I deliver for the local paper here, and we deliver Sunday's inserts on Saturday. It's there.

Hate to break it to you, but we've been seeing that same ad for over a week now. There have been multiple pictures of it online from various sources. There is no date given for release, but it does imply that it will be available for sale on Sunday 2/20. It does not necessarily mean that Best Buy will have them on Sunday, or even by Thursday (if there is some kind of shipping issue). I'm sure they will start selling them on the 24th if they have them in stock by then though, maybe even before. Hopefully we don't have to wait until the 28th.

Lol, was just about to say the same thing haha.

I have it in my flyer today, wasn't in last week's. It appears to be for sale as of tomorrow - there's no date on it or any of the other 3 phones to the left of it. Doesn't say "coming soon" or anything like that. Gives a price and an SKU and says NEW. If they don't offer it for sale tomorrow they are going to p-off a LOT of people who go to buy one. The TB page on VZW still says "strikes soon." Unreal how they are NOT promoting this phone being its a whole new generation phone. I just don't get it.

 

[Chrisy]

Man, I'd be happy if I could walk into bb and get the TB tomorrow! I hope it happens because I've had a bad week and could use a distraction!

Same here, but don't get your hopes up! I'm still skeptical about the 24th at this point.

 

[Chrisy]

Na, my hopes aren't up. Whenever it drops, I'll be getting it. This phone's for me.

Just like a nice surprise.

You're not hurting my feelings. I just thought I'd tell you what I know. There is no date mentioned for release in the ad; but if you didn't know better, by reading the ad you would think it was already in stock.

 

[Chrisy]

Didn't the ad before say 'Coming Soon' though?

Also, the other phones in the ad don't have a release date, right? Like Deb said, they are avail tomorrow.

Also, I've been seeing a lot of TB commercials. I haven't guessed at a release date once yet.

Feb 20 at Best Buy is my guess.

They are getting really good at that.

like some have said, i think this is verizon fault, an its a shame that best buy is gettin the angry cust while verizon just says " we havent announced a release date or any further info on that phone."

best buy got info for a release, these ads are put togethor weeks ahead of time. im sure there is a verizon rep telling best buy marketing that they are working hard on it an just dont put a date in your ads. this is like free/false advertising. its getting people to look into the phone, then go to a store an they have to act like we have no info on that phone, tho we have it advertised....i still love best buy. tho this might upset a hand full of people that go in an get pissed

 

[robdec17]

Well no way BB will have them for sale tomorrow if they dont have then in stock today !

 

[Rickbubello]

My store in Upstate NY says they got them in today but with the shipments came paperwork saying not to be sold before 2/24/2011. Just figured id give you guys a little bit of info.

Can that be backed up with any sort of proof or evidence? I want to believe you but at this point if I said Elvis came to visit me and said they will be delivered by aliens door to door for all who pre ordered, it is pretty much the same thing. Not trying to be an a$$. I just can't believe anything anymore.

 

[mcs1990]

I want to try to believe this. I really hope it is true.

 

[Rickbubello]

call up your stores and ask them if they got their shipment in yet

i want to believe you but i highly doubt any BB locations have them in yet or we would most likely seen pictures of them and plenty more reports saying same thing
