Thunderbolt Pre Announcement Waiting Room & Availability Thread.

Not that this means ANYTHING at all, but the HTC page has said "Register for news at Verzion" or something to that effect since day one. It now says "Get the latest on Thunderbolt"

EDIT: I am also getting a "Page is not currently available" error on Verizon's website when I choose "Upgrade Device" Coincidence? Hmm...

I saw the same thing on HTC site but when i clicked on it it went to same page at verizon where it was before. "Coming Soon" WTF.. Best Buy already has it...

I signed up for the LTE updates and the ThunderBolt updates soon after each page launched. Haven't received squat from either. So much for being "first to know".

Yeah None of of have. VZW is really putting the screws to us at this point...
 
Sneaky panda said the VZW stores will have ample supplies of the TBolt in stock on launch day. I have 4 local verizon stores within 15 minutes of my house. I've got all my money on verizon stores selling the TBolt the same day Best buy does. Because verizon gets to TELL best buy when they can sell it. I hate best buy, i'll be picking mine up at one of my local VZ stores day of launch, or maybe ordering it early over the phone if they let me.
 
I just did a chat with a VZ rep to try and get any info on the Tbolt..... she tried to sell me an *phone! LOL I closed that session right quick! :D
 
Is it worth an extra $90? By April you'll likely have the Revolution and maybe the Bionic to choose from.
 
I just don't see how they plan on releasing a phone in eight days, when they have literally told us nothing regarding pricing, data, or the release date. 8 days and counting.
 
I agree with ythot....someone else in an earlier thread brought up the excellent point that Verizon must play it's cards close to the vest because every day someone walks into stores all over the country and buys a new phone...so they cannot shut down their business! BUT...launching one week from today will be a miracle...the 28th is starting to sound right....
 
yea, seriously this phone is goin to flop in sales without any marketing. the iphone has verizon brainwashed just how att was. i wouldnt be shocked if verizon just cancelled all plans on 4g now an jus said hey we got the iphone
 
Ya the 28th is realllllly looking like the release date... Siiiiiiigh :( I mean best buy and verizon has said it looks like the 14th but with NO superbowl ads, no nothing I cant see them launching it in a week... Seems like they are putting everything into the iphone... Sigh..
 
why is everyone so worried that 8 days isn't enough time to market a phone. There is the internet, youtube, twitter, facebook, TV, radio, flyers. Heck 8 days could be just enough time for them. Think about how fast info and media flies these days. VZW puts out a tweet and with in 10 mins forums are buzzing, bloggers are typing up a storm. 8 days would be just enough time. If not oh well. Whats another two weeks. 2 weeks longer and this phone will still stomp the *ph*ne into the flipping ground.
 
I said this line in another thread, with different context, but I'll chop it up and rehash it here. 2 months down the road, when we all have our Thunderbolts in hand, is anybody going to even remember that it was delayed a few days or a couple weeks? Nope. In the grand scheme of things, this isn't really a big deal. I preordered mine today completely satisfied with the fact that no date has been mentioned yet. Shoot, I wanted to put down more than the $50 deposit because I had the cash. We'll get the phone, and we'll love it. End of story.

So true.:D
 
I'm just really eager to hear about data pricing. If it's more than $30, I'll be getting an Dinc.
That's why Verizon is making me angry personally, is that we're hearing all these possible release dates but verizon won't tell us anything concrete. You'd think you'd hear something about a verizon phone before you'd hear about it from BB.
