Thunderbolt Pre Announcement Waiting Room & Availability Thread.

[Kevin OQuinn]

I agree that you won't be cut any slack at all about the return policy. And I refuse to comment on any conspiracy theories about the delay.

Another article saying Bolt set for week 1 or 2 of March. Time for a thread title change.

This thunderbolt mess has truly reached the level of ****storm that can only be attributed to how "sources" really don't know a damn thing

he has put up a couple more tweets about the T-bolt right after this....really makes you think.

Yup, and he said 24th = expected release date but if they don't make it so be it.

He's pretty annoyed by all these launch rumors and "sources" as a lot of people are.

The guess is that the retail cost is $749.00

Hate to break it to you but he's one of the sources. He's also trashing his own company and its network. Classy.

My Best Buy indicated a march release as well.

Verizon's ability to execute is pretty poor if a network issue is the reason. What have they been doing since they turned it on last year?

Yeah but he's a good source as far as I'm concerned. And if anything he's defending his company and network saying they're making sure it's completely ready to go before launching the phone.

 

[am4966]

Well its looking to me that the Network is not ready, yet they are expanding the Network which to me is does not make sense. Why expand when what you have doesnt work right?! He's talking about others and has told them to hold off the launch. So who the f$ck Knows!

Can't predict something that wasnt yours to call. Said march an NO one wanted to listen to me. Pushing up device launch for hype. Not smart

black_man_x The Mobile Panda
You want it now but what happens when u go to make a data call and ur device resets because the network isn't tuned to handle the stress??

OMG! You're RIGHT! I never thought of it that way. ROFL!

This network didn't just get turned on. It's been around for a few months. What are they doing lighting up new markets if existing aren't ready to go.

AMEN! Why add new markets/expand current markets if the network is not up to par!

"Love the excitement but as i have stated. We want it as bulletproof when we put 70 million customers on it as it is with 12 thousand"

More testing I guess. I'd be down with using a TBolt on 3G for a few weeks... ah well. As long as they get it out by the end of Q1 they hit their target release technically.

I doubt they will make Q1. Even if they do, MOTO and the others will be leaking their phone info like crazy to steal sales.

VZW really dropped the ball and alienated a portion of its enthusiast crowd. Those people are important to the bottom line. Ask Apple.

Yeah, hell even if the TBolt somehow launched after the Bionic I'd still pick HTC over Moto personally. But the sooner the better. Considering the original planned launch was around St. Patty's day (according to bmx at least), I would hope they can get it out by then. If not then there must be some damn major problem with their LTE network and they'll probably lose HTCs business.

God I hope its the first week of march. Had to get a DInc since my bb tour crapped out on me, and I'm really hoping it comes out within this 14 day period lol

Absolutely. By the time the Bolt is out the other great phones of this year are going to right around the corner. We've waited this long, we can wait another month for the other phones...

VZW is screwing the enthusiasts. I really would considering switching if I wasn't in a family plan. And not just over this event. The whole mindset of VZW

except we don't know when next HTC phone is coming to VZW and i'll take HTC over the others i really hope phone comes out this week but def starting to doubt it i don't see it being any later than 1st week of march but ya never know either way i'll be at my local VZW store day this drops walkin out with my TB on a 1 year contract and hopefully they'll be a dual core HTC phone out around xmas

 

[wedge40]

I have question. The TB doesn't have to HAVE LTE to work? Right? If the phones are ready why not release them and then and then when the LTE network is ready let people with the phones add that feature or it would just start working.
What's the next closest thing to the TB WITHOUT LTE?
