I wonder how many times this sentence has been posted on these forums.

You would think everyone would have read it by now...

How often does a company take pre-orders 2 months in advance for an item? Is it really often?

Lets all agree to end this internet meme.

Please stop saying that the TB is delayed.

The Thunderbolt is not delayed because Verizon NEVER announced a release date.

The only thing that WE CAN hold Verizon responsible for is that they said the phone will be released in Q1. Q1 ends on March 31st. Today is March 4th.

After March 31st you can say the phone is delayed. Everyone needs to chill before then.

Woah, I'm really glad you're here to clear that up for us. I had no idea.

:-!

I'll be surprised if it gets released on or before the 26th

Not to be mean, but there was really no point in posting this. I along with many others have stated this in other threads and nobody cares or provides the February 14th 'leak' as a supposed solid date even though it was only internal (if it was mentioned at all) and that it wasn't for the market to know about.

Well commercials ran with "February" in them (yes, in English for two days ON TV; not just youtube) if you'll remember. This was quickly changed to "Coming Soon" and not long after that, all ads were pulled completely. So the specific date wasn't mentioned, but it is delayed at this point, whether you heard the 14th or not; February is over and they publicly advertised it.

To be fair on this point, it hasn't even been a month yet. It will GET to a month, but exaggerations aren't going to help the argument. :-\

vzw said Febrero....its delayed, no denying it


for a real TB meme, check my sig...i made it when we heard rumors of the 14th delay..should be continued now ha

OK, I will bite....but only because we have nothing else to talk about.

The anecdotal information we have (Battery, 4G to 3G, BB ads..those cannot be cheap right?, spending moeny on commercials/etc.)...and here is the most important part CONNECTED TO THE FACT THE VERIZON CANNOT RELEASE A DATE OR INFORMATION)...sorry....is clear that they have problems (then or still?) and are in DELAY mode. You can call it whatever you want....but the world is not flat my friend!

 

[amotter]

There is one other possibility....they had an initial launch date at the end of March or lets say April BUT the people responsible for connecting all the PR, marketing and talking to vendors (like BB), as well as trouble shooting any last minute issues...have been secretly smoking meth and eating quuaaludes every day for breakfast the last 2 months. But i doubt this....gonna go with the phone was or still has problems.

Considering how this has been handled, I would say that yes, this is a very real possibility.

Wait.. i know i saw an internal memo posted sometime back that the world is completely flat and if you go too close to the edge you'll fall off...

 

[amotter]

LOL....Was the memo from Best Buy?

What is a "meme"
