Thunderbolt Pre Announcement Waiting Room & Availability Thread.

[DibDab]

You all realize that the call takers are playing a mean and evil joke. They all decided around supper to totally mess with us? Right!?? hah

I'd be willing to bet my first born child that it is not happening tomorrow.

I personally agree, but have a feeling stores may be getting them tomorrow and releasing them Thursday. Granted my bro and his friend saying they are expecting them in at their best buys on Monday, peoples chats with verizon reps are making me have this belief I am however, prepared for a let down, being stuck waiting until the 24th lol.

The problem I have with this is that we all signed up for email alerts and none of us have received an email telling us that the Bolt is being released yet. If they were going to silently release the phone one random Monday morning, then what would be the point of having people sign up for email alerts? I hate to be such a doubter, but I think we'll all receive our emails before the TBolt is actually released.

I honestly still think it'll be the 24th but it seems so weird that a week ago these vzw reps didnt have a clue and wouldnt give any dates at all. Now all the sudden multiple reps are saying check the site and it'll be out tomorrow???? weird....either they really are playing a joke or they got some very recent info.

I stopped in at several Verizon stores yesterday trying to see a TB demo just while I was out an about shopping and several managers said that they get phones 2 days in advance, but they didn't have any in stock. I don't think this thing is gonna be for sale tomorrow, gang

If anything happens tomorrow, I bet it's only an announcement. But that would still be great news!

 

[Comineeyeaha]

It's all a big joke. I'll bet one of them has Android Central pulled up and is hitting F5 after every chat ends. They're all laughing up a storm over there.

Weird, TBolt ads just started popping up for me on the AC home page.

But the link directs you to HTC's site, not Verizon's

Also I have a kinda off-topic question:

I burned my upgrade on a Dinc in Nov, but my wife is still eligible for an upgrade plus a NE2 $100 credit. Since we're on a family plan together would I still be able to get the $100 credit to upgrade my line to the Tbolt and give her the Dinc?

Basically she'll give you her upgrade with discount, you'll give her your phone, and then you'll be able to get the tbolt. It will all work in your favor.

This is getting ridiculous.

Probably because the 14th was thought to be the release date for a while, so it was on a script. Who knows...

No release date will = double blah haha. I am expecting a double blah by 2..
