Thunderbolt Pre Announcement Waiting Room & Availability Thread.

[jreed2560]

we got a whole mess of posters, decals for our windows, lightbox inserts for it. Nothing says "DROID" on it

That has to be an Atrix vs. Thunderbolt reference.

Iphone reference. You guys are getting tunnel vision here! LOL

Was just about to edit my post to say that.

You are right about the tunnel vision.

if it was gonna be a Thunderbolt reference, the identical looking car would have been the Inspire, not the Atrix

 

[Forgetful]

I don't think so. None of the commercials or marketing material has stated that. I'm honestly not sure why its labled that in our system

Odd. I guess time will tell. I could care less about droid branding. Still interesting though.

They could also be referring to the TB having problems with the network as Panda stated, thus comparing two TBs: the phone as it was last month to the way it is now.

Just hoping one of these ideas sticks to the wall like a wet noodle. I really can't take my BB any longer.

all that really matters with the droid branding is the presence of google search and maps vs bing. Which I believe its been confirmed that it will not have bing so....

Iphone reference.

This.

It's kinda a tweener since this was suppose to be released Feb 14th. Without a date to market it, it's not a true hard launch.

Yeah, I think they blew their chances at a true hard launch with all the delays. Problem is, those TV spots have to be coordinated in advance. Additionally, they cost a lot. Once they've run (and they have), and the initial expected launch date has been missed, I would not expect any more new commercials with a date. Probably too quick to get 'em up anyway. Probably gonna be a soft launch, IMHO.

So how will we know?

 

[MyMeth]

In my opinion March will not be the release month for TB because of the Ipad two. I give up. I'll just wait for the droid bionic or samsung stealth v! TB is a failure!

 

[panicprone77]

I really don't see how the ipad 2 is going to affect the launch at all.

After reading these forums, I know you must be joking! Right?

Or, you can click on the Link in my signature, then click on "Get the latest info on ThunderBolt', and you will be given a chance to enter your email address into the VZW system. Presumably for a notification of availability.

I smell an April release.

Yes, you've mentioned that about every other post.

Well that is obvious nor what I meant but you make it sound like they can't release a commercial with release date. However for the mass that will be one of the main forms the mass will know about it. When I said "how will we know" I was referring to mass not the small majority that follow tech.

droid life just tweeted the rumor of the day is that stores are receiving shipments of the Tbolt Sunday/Monday.

Can stores get shipments on a Sunday?

Droid ?

According to BGR, "Verizon offering $100 off all DROID smartphones via online store."

Sounds to me like they're making room for a new phone.

I dont know is Thunderbolt a Droid??? I did not hear it called that did any one??

Believe it or not, I actually got a shipment on a Sunday before...Can't remember if it was Fedex or UPS but it was 2 day shipping and I was surprised when they knocked on my door.
