Thunderbolt Pre Announcement Waiting Room & Availability Thread.

Thanks RichardClark...and I'm jealous - you're in Charlotte and will actually be able to experience TB on LTE, whereas I'm in Raleigh area and have to wait wait wait...

I live in Wilmington, but I'll be going to law school this fall in either Charlotte, Raleigh, or Durham. Thankfully, Verizon plans to have 4G coverage in all 4 cities by the end of the year

That's what I thought because late last year a VZW rep told me so, but since then I've gotten noncommittal responses and also "2012" before Raleigh/Durham gets it. Dunno what to believe, just ready to be away from Blackberry!
 
So I've been living with a Palm Pixi as my month-to-month phone...

I love WebOS, but I feel like a freaking giant using this thing! The screen is tiny and I can cover 12 full keys with just my thumb. It is definitely slow, but not unbearable. The whole philosophy of the OS is so much...cleaner than I was expecting. The small screen makes it hard to get excited about using apps, but the ones I do have are great.

Just for kicks I got a used Pre on ebay for $70. At least while I'm waiting for the Bolt I can indulge my gadget lust!

Verizon also plans for a TBolt release mid February...
 
its sad, there is a Huge thunderstorm rolling through North Central NJ.. would have been a perfect lunch day for the thunderbolt.. too bad... :(
 
So what ever happened to the "t-bolt launch is Monday, I'll show you the shirts we have to wear" guy??

Probably hiding at this point, lol.
 
I'd like to hear from Ter1990 - the one who said the VZW rep followed him out to his car and said she'd see him 9 o'clock Monday morning to give him his new TB...
 
Well, I got a text from the rep this morning that there were no bolts in store. Said she would find out more and let me know. U am still thinking this Thursday or next. Wish I had better news.

Yeah. I'm not taking it as official. But, I am seeing a lot of this rumor ALL over the place. I'm also thinking this Thursday or next Thursday.
