Thunderbolt Pre Announcement Waiting Room & Availability Thread.

i think im gonna give up on this damn phone. at first i wanted it now its being delayed and now i have too much **** in my life to worry about it. sad, i can still afford it just might not be able to get it on release day

snip 1. wow what a nice release date!!!!
snip 2. you do know the 1st quarter of 2011 just started recently right? it doenst start right away when the new year starts. atleast where i work and my company works with cisco, google, and other electronic companies

yes i agree, itsl ike they are trying to piss ppl off. like there going
oh look at this pretty new phone its so awesome.. oh you want it? well you cant have it! wtf vzw epic fail there doing this totally wrong!



hold on a 2nd, i heard that if you change your plan no matter what you will lose your NE2 so then i dont think you will be able to upgrade to the tbolt if you wanted. i would call and ask a rep first before you do any changes PLEASE you dont want to miss getting this phone.

Lots of companies quarters start and end at different times. For example, I used to work for Sony. This would still be their Q4. Their Q1 started on 4/1.

i'm new to this forum, how reliable has "Joe The Insider" been in the past? after seeing all these dates come and go i'm pretty skeptical. but i'm looking for something to get my hopes up. JUST GIMME THE DAMN PHONE!

I have no idea. He's only posted 5 times. Many of us are skeptical due to the high number of lies and stories people come up with. I still can't get past the guy who claimed he bought a TB last week, then when we asked for pics he said he accidentally bought a dummy unit. LMFAO post of the year im my book.

if i remember right all he did was talk to a best buy manager and the VZW rep that visits that store, you know those same type of people that some seem to keep thinking are a reliable source and realistically don't know anymore than us

No that was a different guy.

only if you sign a contract if you do not do a new contract and take a phone thats paid in full like a cheap prepaid and just switch it to active phone on your account you do not have to start a new contract same goes with using a buddies old VZ phone thats just sitting in a draw
 
so many of those guys, however do remember that i read his 1st post and he was claiming a source that was laughable

Well, I just signed with Verizon so I wouldn't have a NE2 anyways. I am still within the 14 day return period, so I can return the phone and cancel the contract with no issue. However, because I would be going month to month, and then re-signing the contract in order to get the Bolt, I'm going to verify with the Verizon rep that it would work and I wouldn't have any problems.
 
ah ok he works at a VZW store his 1st post did not make any bold claims i was wrong but still not exactly a reliable source of info either

That other guy, yeah. This Joe guy hasn't posted that much, and what he has posted hasn't been out of line or the ordinary.
 
I'm thinking Joe is full of crap. Sorry Joe. But I don't think we'll see the Bolt in February. We have yet to receive any alerts or updates via email that we all signed up for on Verizon's website. I'm guessing we'll all start getting those alerts at least a week before launch.
 
I'm no expert, I just love reading all the people complaining about something as trivial as a cell phone. Has anybody seen the news, pop on over to yahoo or CNN or Fox and see whats going on in the world.

From my understanding Verizon was suppose to release a phone by the end of summer, and according to the calendar they did, September 21st. Developing a new "anything" can and usually does takes a few awful turns at the very end and schedules get blow out of the water. I have no clue what's happening or why it's delayed, but if it's a problem then Verizon is going to wait till they have a good product OR they will release something less then perfect on March 31st. The last day of the 1st QTR.

Just my 2 cents.
Off to see who else the Samalians have murdered.

You're on an Android ENTHUSIASTS website. Of course we're bugging about this phone and with 1 day till the 24th we're really bugging.

That is exactly how it would work. make sure they give you the NE2 credit back and revert your contract date back to the old one.
