Thunderbolt Pre Announcement Waiting Room & Availability Thread.

[Joe the Insider]

I will be on here every night and whenever i get more info, ill let you guys know. That's the best i can do. What i won't do is give you information if its not confirmed or from a weak source. I'd like to build some what of a decent rep on here, So when this happens in the future i don't look like a fool lol

Let me re-read this. Im not sure who this Joe guy is, so let me learn about him lol.

He did say "2/28/11. Remember that date." almost a week ago, before anyone else said the 28th. Now that's all we're hearing. So it's worth putting hope into.

 

[SpaceHippie]

Alright Joe catch me up. What is going on from what you've heard? Lol im gonna have to use you as a source in my articles haha

Hey, HTC made some pretty big site changes regarding the Thunderbolt. If you guys haven't been paying attention to that thread. Joe may be on to something with this 24th->28th thing..

Yeahh..if you go on the Thunderbolt page and click "Where to buy" it now takes you to the Verizon Store locator page..

It's taking me back to the same Flash page on vzw.com. Both sites look identical to me.

Joe, can you make a Twitter dedicated to info on the Tbolt for us please? Lol, twitter is easier to access for me

It's also easier to track if he's linking @VerizonWireless and stuff like that. Just sayin', it's probably better to be conservative if his job is at stake.

The domain name isn't even htc.com. Doesn't look legit to me at all.

 

[Joe the Insider]

Yeah, I can't do that. lol

Got this link from this thread: http://forum.androidcentral.com/htc-thunderbolt/62815-htc-4g-page-showed-thunderbolt-down.html

Looks like a mobile site...

Pretty sure it's just their mobile site. It's what had the "mysterious 4g dream phone" that was covered in the sheet before CES that everybody knew was the Thunderbolt. And after thinking about it, not much is changed, we dont know a whole lot more haha

It's the mobile version of htc's website.

 

[TBolt2011]

It's the mobile version of htc's website.

Hence why it's such fine print? Lol

Confirmed from my Fascinate, in case anyone doubted. Goggled for "HTC Mobile Site" and dropped down options under the HTC site's link, mobile formatted.

There's a leading "www.google.com/ngirnlegwkjbgnijgnbligkjwbglwijkgnbgkwjgn(etc)" but then the url matches what the link aboves bring you to.

Joe thank you for coming on here. Of all the people that have come on and claimed they knew a date, or claimed they had seen information, there's something about you that's just...believable. The other ones lashed out if anyone's questioned their information, but you've stayed calm and not attacked them.

Obviously, we won't know for sure until Verizon announces something, but I'm inclined to believe you right now.

 

[KingChicago]

So Joe, you believe that today will be the big announcement? I thought I remember you saying that earlier, I cant find it to quote it, but I think you said Announcement on the 24th, release on the 28th?

 

[Droid800]

Yea the pixi SUCKS! It's slow, freezes, its worse than blackberry to be honest. You WILL regret it dude. Sorry.

Hey, for $60 and using for a week MAX, I'll live with it.

 

[SpaceHippie]

oh just for a week? nvm then lol

 

[Joe the Insider]

If anything changes or stays the same, i will let you know
