Thunderbolt Pre Announcement Waiting Room & Availability Thread.

Verizon is going to think they are having a DDoS attack from everyone hitting F5 on their website.
 
Just tried this. Played real dumb. Pretended I didn't know the name, but that I remembered hearing about it, etc. This is the response I got to me asking when it might be here:

You: oh okay. Hmmmm. I'm getting antsy to leave my current carrier. Do you know how long it might be until those phones come out?

Jasmine: There is not a exact release date but it will be sometime this month

You: oh ok

You: I guess I'll keep checking back on the website then

Jasmine: It will be here in know time :)

At least they're nice, haha. She ended the chat by telling me I can search for thunderbolt and find the page.
 
Okay I normally would never do this because I think it's a waste of time, but this was just hilarious.

I'm talking to the same person as we speak... v.v

LOL right after I posted this:

"Jordan: Those are all great features. I like the Thunderbolt simply cause it will be the first Android operating phone with a front facing camera."

I said, "Krem: Yeah, that's a first for a Verizon phone isn't it?"

To which she said, "Jordan: Well, I thought that would be clear, as this is the only network that means anything ;)"

WELL PLAYED JORDAN!
 
I decided to sign up for the email updates and I still find it funny they have a box that says "Check here to sign up to receive updates from CES as they happen."
 
Guys, the iPhone 4 was released 3 days ago. Do you really think Verizon is about to slam the door in Apple's face by releasing its first 4G device, which just happens to be running Android, within just days after the iPhone 4 release?

I mean.. didn't the iPhone sales just flop?

You also need to remember that Verizon is not making money off of the phone, but rather from the contracts... If I were in their shoes, I wouldn't give a rats ass whether I got the contract from an iPhone or a Thunderbolt, unless the 4G was just a total money pit for them for the basic pricing...
 
I figure the launch is the 24th but I decided to call best buy earlier and ask about the supposed 14th launch date and said do you have them in stock he said no they didnt ship in on the truck but they were getting drop shipped and would be on sale tomorrow.... I will give them a call tomorrow and check but I am still thinking the 24th....
 
Hey how long has that htc thunderbolt ad at the top of the page on this site been there?? Have i really never noticed that....
 
Pretty sure they were told that the release date would be announced today. Since half these reps don't speak English well (and are probably outsourced) they most likely mistook that for the phone releasing tomorrow.
 
I have a "CHAT NOW" box in the corner of my "shop for smartphones" screen... I'm never leaving this page lmao
