Thunderbolt Pre Announcement Waiting Room & Availability Thread.

Firefox. It always worked before. I thought MAYBE they were doing some changes.
I noticed that they also added the Palm Pre 2 (which was just made available today).
Well and I really don't understand the oohing and aahing of the Atrix. It's not a true 4G phone. If it's a 4G phone they could call all of their new phones 4G from now on. The fact that AT&T is starting to play T-Mobile's game would really upset me if I were an AT&T customer because that would tell me that maybe they aren't as committed to LTE as they first said.

This is the thing that is getting me crazy. I can almost understand VZW keeping the "top secret" release date from their employees because they know it will be leaked quickly afterward. I can't see how the basic phone information that is shared is so limited that an employee would state the above. It is crazy. The idea of VZW releasing their first and flagship LTE devise with LTE deactivated is absurd. If it is true, VZW has made a serious failure in choices. If it is not true (which i believe), they have failed to comminicate basic information to their own employees. It is one thing keeping their customer base in the dark, it is another to do it to your employees. I like vZW but I think their marketing dept needs to work on their communication skills.
Just to stir up the mustard....if this statement is true:
The HTC Thunderbolt release delay does make sense when you bring the 14-day gap between the Feb 10th Verizon iPhone, and Feb 24th HTC Thunderbolt launch dates into consideration. This puts any iPhone devices sold on Feb 10th outside of the 14-day Verizon return policy.
What about the iPhones sold on the 11th, 12th etc. if Verizon is trying to clear inventory wouldn't they wait until the day until IPhones sales dropped significantly?

I think the iphone sales dopped significantly the day after the preorder and has been that way since.

I'm not buying the fact they are spacing the launches so iphone buyers on the release date will be outside their return policy because of the point you made. I'm sure the majority of the iphones were purchased one day one but there has to a ton of them purchased on or after the 11th.
I think they are spacing it out to maximize their sales and bottom line. Launching to highly demanded phones at the same time wouldn't be a good move for Verizon (not sure why). I'm still thinking we will see a launch on the 24th and a launch date within the next couple of days.
Like most of here I hope you are right! Did speak with rep yesterday to fix upgrade date ( returned dinc but verizon had not adjusted upgrade date) she knew nothing but as a happy user of Moto X would buy thunderbolt asap, would not wait for Bionic. A true 'afectionado'!
It's pretty much impossible for me to wait for the Bionic if the May or June release date is true. My Storm will be lucky to make it to the 24th.
I'm in this boat...my Dinc has a shattered screen and I'm only going to be able to live with it for another week or so!
I don't mean to be a downer but I think a 24th release is actually looking quite bleak.
Considering we're a week away from the 24th and VZW has not said a thing. This is a huge release/phone for them that will bring their 4G network into the light.
Think about all the other really big releases like Droid 2, Droid 1, Droid X, Iphone, etc. We all new the release date for those at least a week before.
But here we are a week from the 24th and nothing. I highly doubt there's going to be a "soft" release when have they ever done this for another huge phone? And no one beside us forum people really know about the Bolt.

This is not exactly true. I thought I would be the only one that knew about the Thunderbolt in my company when our Verizon rep came, but surprisingly almost everyone asked about it before and after I went to talk to him. I think the business world knows about these devices because they want to get stuff done fast and currently LTE is the next generation in getting stuff done fast. We may be some of the first to know, but it doesn't mean we are the only ones to know.
I was meaning "us forum people" more of enthusiasts than general people curious about the phone. We're the same people that will wait 3/4 months for a phone but the general population will just get what ever is out or coming in a few weeks.
Even then the 24th is looking bad. :'(
They are right "It's the next phone after your next phone" i.e people are gettin the *Phone waiting for the TBolt. So HTC is right it's your next next phone. RELEASE IT ALREADY!!
