Thunderbolt Pre Announcement Waiting Room & Availability Thread.
- Thread starter TBolt2011
- Start date
I'm sorry to hear that, but my Dare whose ear-piece doesn't work at all the tops that cake so far....
My storm 1's screen hasn't worked for about a month and a half. So basically my "smart" phone is useless right now except for receiving calls. Hurry up VZW!!!
Hey guys I have a pretty nooby question...
I have a bunch of wall chargers/micro usb cables left over from my Blackberry Bold...Will it be safe to use these for the Thunderbolt? I"d like to keep a spare charger and a usb cable at work just in case.

I can't find it right now but there's an entire thread on this somewhere in this section of the forums. You might want to read all the replies is why I'm mentioning this.

Somehow buying a brand new phone thru eBay makes me real nervous. I mean the thing isn't even out yet ... I'd be concerned about it being a legit phone.
Got ya all beat.
I "HAD" an AT&T iPhone 3G that broke and right now I'm stuck with a little Nokia phone. I'm waiting like everyone else on here for the release of the TB, but will wait a few weeks longer, maybe even a few months longer to see how this new wonder-phone holds up to they hype.
I have to weigh the AT&T ETF against getting the new Verizon TB.

I can't speak specifically to the Bold and ThunderBolt, but my wife and I switch chargers between my BB Tour and her Droid without any problem.

That eBay listing is for a DUMMY phone, not a real working model. The seller mentions that but is probably hoping someone will overlook it and make a bid.
How's this for useful-
"Josh: Do you know if the Iphone4 is ready to ship if I order it online or is there a back order? When is the HTC Thunderbolt going to be released? I was really looking at the Thunderbolt due to 4G where I live and the awesome specs it has.
Heidi: This device will be shipped to you in two to three days, once the order is placed.
Heidi: I am sorry we do nor have access to this information at this time, because this item is not available on our network. I apologize for the inconvenience."

Mine wasn't from a chat rep, it was from my company's personal Verizon rep. He said the plan is for the 24th and this was told to us yesterday in person and he was told Monday when he actually was able to use the device.
Well I just got done talking to VZW, holy moly are they trying to cram a iphone down my throat. No matter how much I said I wanted a Bolt she still tried selling me a ipoop. I think VZW is not doing as well with iphone sales.
i think they are really biting the dust on the icrap so right now they need to do as much pushing of it as they can
I think they were able to sell a lot of phones to existing VZW customers, but not to people on other carriers.
Well I don't know why they thought they would. I mean I really think they did well with the online orders, but Verizon and Apple really did everything backwards in regards to CES and the iPhone announcement.
I think the whole reason they aren't doing that well with in store iPhone sales in certain places (our corporate Verizon rep said he was helping out at a store in an area with a lot of iPhone users and they were really busy) is because after 4 iterations of a single phone brand/model being released/announced at pretty much the exact same time in 4 consecutive years, people realize that the iPhone4 is outdated before it is even released.
That's not even taking into consideration the fact that all of the LTE phones are 2 weeks to a few months away from being released and then the iPhone5 is expected a month or two after those phones.
Ding! Exactly! If they are looking to steal AT&T people, there is a whole ****load of 3GS owners who aren't eligible until June/July to cancel. There are probably more than a few 3G owners who were "meh" at the iPhone 4 and are waiting on the 5. NONE of those people are going to jump ship NOW, not when they can wait 4 months and get the latest and greatest. I really don't understand the logic behind the iPhone release.
I don't even think they hooked all the VZW stalwarts who were waiting for it. Anyone who has been waiting 3+ years for that phone to hit VZW knows the product cycle by now. I think you'll see MASSIVE lines for an iPhone5 launch at VZW.
Someone Google Talk me when the TB date is announced. I can't live on these forums anymore!!!
If you've signed up for the notification through VZW, you'll get an email from them.
ROFLMAO! I wouldn't trust that. I signed up for info on the Droid X... still waiting.
