Thunderbolt Pre Announcement Waiting Room & Availability Thread.

TB commercials

I've been observing something in the TB commercials...on the 18th when I first saw them the girl counted to "6 Mississippi". Then, yesterday, I only heard her count to "5...". and TODAY..."4". Four days left until the 24th...as of today...is this a countdown to release???

No. It's them shortening the run time on the commercials to save money.

Um I don't think she ever counted to different numbers...

Already yesterday or the day before they were running commercials that had the little girl counting to 3, then to 2, and then the lightning strikes with the thunder at the same time.

Alright, so with the Best Buy fiasco, and just uneasiness about the date, I have a question. I bought a VZW iPhone 4 on the 11th, with the intention of going back to iOS. I miss Android too much, however. I was expecting the Bolt to have been on sale by the 25th, which is the last day of my return period.

So here's my question: Do you think the reps at the VZW store would cut me ANY Slack at all if the phone comes out on the 28th? I was thinking of going in sometime this week and talking to them about it. I would love to stay with VZW because their coverage is so much better, but I want an Android phone, and I don't want any of the ones they currently have.

If they can't do anything, I'll just sell my iPhone on ebay and purchase the Bolt outright, but I'm hoping they will.

I think you need to take the phone back either on the 24th or earlier. If you got the phone on the 11th, then 14 days later may be the 24th. I think you need to actually count the day you purchased it. I would not cut it that close and I wouldn't listen to any VZ reps about your return date.

If it was me, I would hand deliver that back on the 22nd. Also, if you got it via online, you'll need to ship it asap. It takes a few days to get to the warehouse then they need to inspect it before they accept the phone back. Even though the ship date counts as the the date they receive the phone, it may take them longer to update your account so you can buy the TB on the release day.
 
well i havent seen the commercial in a couple days...but if i do ill look for that clue. this could be a hint. or it could be shorter commercials to save money

fingers are still crossed
 
Lol. Yeah, just saw a TB commercial during Amazing Race.

I just saw it during the simpsons. I thought everyone said that there was a girl who counted in the spanish version and a guy in the english version. This was definitely a girl counting in this version. I was hoping it would have a date too, instead of "coming soon" :(
 
no its always been a girl. jus spanish an english versions. how many times did she count? please tell me u can play it back lol
 
well i pulled up my video that i originally recorded the first time i saw it. she originally counts up to 3 on it. so yeah this hint has been mythbusted
 
i just switched to vzw at best buy on the 13th and i pre-ordered the tb and got a dinc to use in the meantime. they have a 30 day return on the phones and said as long as the thunderbolt comes out within 30 days of the 13th i will just pay the difference.
 
It's not coming this week :( Which drives me up a wall beyond belief because when we found out it was delayed to the 24th I let it be and accepted it.. Here we are a few days away and STILL NO release date what so ever. wtf? IMO if it was coming out this week they would have put that in the T-Bolt comercial by now. I have been seeing it advertised nonstop, if it was coming out this week or this month in general we would at the very least have either a coming feb 24th or it would still say coming feb.. All these rumors of it being delayed yet again this time to march (getting old) is beyond stupid but looks to be the case.. Ah well :(
 
If is too bad its delayed till March. I can't believe that Verizon has not been able to make this thing happen. They are very lucky that the other carriers are behind on the LTE front or they would be in trouble.
