Thunderbolt Pre Announcement Waiting Room & Availability Thread.

[TBolt2011]

Thunderbolt = 4G LTE Phone
Thunder Struck = AC/DC song

No reason to separate the two. They could mesh together perfectly, imo.

in nov my contract ended. an i was sooooo ready to ditch att an my iphone 3g. only reason why att hate is due to android support an no hspa+ 4g. but now they are gettin on board an showing great prices. i still love the bolt. an verizons coverage an 4g will be almost immediate for me. im gettin very frustrated that verizon got the iphone an hasnt given a bit of info on the bolt. they can announce the iphone an have release date right away but they cant get a release date on ther flagship 4g phone a month later......this is sad. starting to have 2nd thoughts on the atrix on att.

I completely agree, just pointing that out as he was getting the name wrong.

a Thunderbolt ad with Thunderstruck playing would be sweet.

There's no VZW stores in my town. The two closest are authorized dealers.

Flakin' out on the Bionic are ya? Caker!

We're pretty sure it's within a 10 day window, that starts in less than 2 weeks. Just be patient for a couple more weeks. You don't wanna settle for AT&T's FauxG. VZW LTE will blow them out of the water in speed, coverage, and quality. Patience young padawan. Patience.

Sorry, can't help but show you what I found on Verizon's "Trade-in Program" page. Ahaha.

"Look no further to trade in your old device. Regardless
of carrier, we accept all devices and models – even the
iPhone from AT&T."

Thunderbolt - VZW Availability/Pricing/Ordering Discussion

I am waiting until Sunday, If we don't here the official date and 4G Data prices, I am going to look elsewhere....

This is getting little out of hand...

After waiting this long, why would you give up at the very last second?? It's like watching a tied up game at the super bowl this Sunday and turning off the TV during the last 2 minutes. What's the point of that? To stick it to the NFL?? That's just silly

All sorts of leaked information - as well as sneaky panda tweets from blackmanx - say the device WILL drop in February. You aren't going to have to wait much longer before getting the information you want since the end of February is almost only 3 weeks away, and you KNOW they are gonna drop information, and likely this phone, well before that

Just stick with it bro. Based on the dates we're seeing, logic would say that you'll know all this information within a week. Giving Verizon's multi-million exclusive deal they have with the NFL, they'll have plenty of air time during the Super Bowl. What better time to run an ad announcing the official release (including prices and dates) of their 4G network

Hopefully it will not sell out and be like the Droid Incredible- Out of stock for months!

It really is getting out of hand, Im getting fed up as well. after monday if there is no date released I might just give up and get the incredible and save some $.

So is the ROM or OS on the TB Froyo 2.2? I keep reading Sense 2.2 but I thought that was a UI?

Sense IS just a UI overlay.

Its Android 2.2 (froyo) but with HTC's Sense UI overlay.

 

[Chrisy]

Ok thanks! That's what I thought but was getting confused!
