Nope... thought the same thing. The city is Las Vegas and the date is March 14th. I'll see if I still have it saved on my DVR and take a picture of it unless anyone else knows what I'm talking about. Its the HTC commercial with the kid who gets invited to a party and on the floor it says Arrive at 8. I thought the 8 had something to do with it until I paused the commercial at the end and saw the date March 14th on the phone... not saying that this is the release date but that's what they had on the phone.
Thunderbolt delayed to April?

This is the commercial.. just found it on youtube:http://www.youtube.com/watch?nomobile=1&v=GUe1f84cF1c
I have to see if I can get a better screenshot that shows the date. It was clear on my 46" TV.

You're right... it says Wednesday..which is the 16th...hopefully this is not the release date.
Well, to be fair, it looks like he was pretty experienced with the device. Like maybe a week experience 
At CES they said "our first 4G devices will arrive as early as March." March 15/16/17th may very well have been the original launch date and the commercial was most likely made under that assumption.
Well, they did say that "it's not your dream phone, it's the one after that". Way, way after that apparently.
Now that I've been thinking about it. The commercial I saw last night was the same commercial except the phone at the end has the date of Mon. Mar. 14th. So much for that theory. I guess that's a good thing.
Hey guys...I got some bad news. I spoke to a verizon tech support specialist at 7pm and he said that the thunderbolt will not be out until the 2nd quarter. He said verizon is having issues with their 4g LTE network operating with the phone. He was also talking about the tiered data plan that is also delaying the phone. He said he expects an april or may launch. I hope he is not correct! This is the last thing I needed to hear.
Yeah, I am sure verizon did not want the info leaked if it is correct. With all the rumors now, it is tough to believe anything. I am trying to stay optimistic, but all the delays are driving me insane.
Although they didn't tell me any isssues that were being addressed (since I didn't ask). I just asked them straight up on when they gonna release the Thunderbolt. I asked them if it's gonna be on the 3rd, 4th, or 10th. They said no. They even said not on March.
So I dunno if you guys wanna take that as a grain of salt since thats what the sales lady told me.
