Thunderbolt Pre Announcement Waiting Room & Availability Thread.

Posted by Black_man_x this morning
The Greatest Trick Verizon Ever Pulled was telling the world the Thunderbolt existed...... have a good day all and I will holla later on.

Kinda getting tired of that dooshbag and his twitter riddles every day. he reminds me of my ex girlfriend and her attention whore techniques. Just sayn'.

He doesn't do it to get attention. He tries to give us information as best he can without losing his job.

He could feed a lot more information to some of the bloggers without fear.. but he uses public, social media to do it. Why? To get attention.

I'm thankful he's providing the community with information. I truly am. However, the riddles, and the double talk, etc. is just to get attention. if he wanted to release information and feel good about that, he'd do it anonymously through one of the well known Android news sites. Or even a publication like Engadget.
 
Why not just quit beating around the bush and give a date? Then all would be done? I mean, he has gave us "clues" as to when it will be out, why not just say something that has numbers involved? I mean some of us have been waiting for this phone for months and to be honest I am getting tired of it. I am actually considering jumping ship since I am out of contract or going with the incredible. This is getting ridiculous!! I mean if he was worried about getting in trouble he wouldn't have as he said slipped and sent that message yesterday. Quit trying to draw attention and just let us know when the phone is coming out so people can figure out what they need to do.

right now i question his reliability when i seen him post some encouraging info of the phone then post it was a go then he says some ridiculousness like greatest trick Verizon ever pulled was convincing the world the Thunderbolt exists completely contradicts his own statements

Bulls**t. He clearly does it for attention and then he trolls the forums looking for the feedback he created.. and comments on those threads. Just like how serial killers get their jolly's off on the chase and media reports.
 
And to be honest, you dont have to work for a company to test their products! We have testers that work for us all over the country that have nothing to do with our company except test for us. They get paid and free items, BUT they have NO inside info like release dates or prices. I think this guy is full of it. If he was truly worried about his job, he would have never opened his mouth in the first place.
 
I think he is referring to all the hoopla surrounding the TB at this point. If we didn't realize it was coming at some point soon, we wouldn't be sitting around hanging on his words or the rest of the rumormill. That being said, its looking like the phone will be out in the next week or two. I'm tired of waiting just like everyone else but we are nearing the end of this bs.
 
2 weeks? I'm going for the DInc 2 if TB is a bust!

I'm thinking the same thing. If we have some idea of a release date for the DInc2 by the time the TB is released I may just wait.

The more I look at the specs of the DIncS the more I think about getting the Dinc2 instead (assuming that the S and the 2 will be virtually identical). It won't have an FFC, but that's not a deal breaker for me. It also won't have 4G, but I'll be on WiFi most of the time and not having a 4G radio may result in longer battery life. The DIncS is also slightly smaller than the TB, resulting in easier pocketability.

Decisions, decisions.

Dinc2 does have a FFC.
