Thunderbolt Thursday Waiting Room HERE!

[aupharmd2011]

can you buy the wirefly insurance if you don't get your phone through them?

$6.99 a month with no deductible seems like a better deal than verizon's insurance

I called up my local BJ's Verizon, and dude said he would get me one to hold from one of the other stores if he doesn't think he'll have it in stock. Hope he calls me back with a confirmation! 9am, took off work and ****, lol

 

[SoDev]

So, no one is waiting a few days to see the reports on battery life? I mean, other then rumors of Go Wireless doing a promotion, you aren't getting the phone for less than you would a week later.

Is it all about no patience? lol

I plan on upgrading the battery to a bigger one anyway, and will have the original for backup. Also, for me it's as much about getting in on the $30 unlimited data as anything.

 

[SoDev]

Dude just called me back and said he will have them and he's holding one for me... 9am here I come!

Do you mean from BJ's?

 

[SoDev]

Do you mean from BJ's?

Yes? In my BJ's there is a Verizon cooperate kiosk. At least the guy says they operate like one when I was asking for special discounts.

Well, while getting a larger battery is an option, the idea that it will make the phone fatter, isn't appealing. I want to know that the phone can get through a day, without constantly needing to be recharged.

I'm as eager to lock into the $30 unlimited data as you are, but they won't just turn that off without notice. I'm sure there will be an announcement about it, at which time I can quickly get a phone.

I understand completely. You could just get the biggest original size as a backup, but that can be a pain too.

They can cancel it, but by doing so they would have to let you out of your contract, so they most likely won't going by history. That's why there are so many unlimited grandfathered accounts on ATT and Verizon. They don't want to lose you.

 

[azdmelani]

Very nice. Is that a special time for the bolt??

Nope, normal time! Anyone on the east coast have a store that opens earlier?

 

[Kyle L]

just got a call to setup appt. tomorrow morning at store opening @ BB...Wahoo!! Its really actually happening!! i need to be pinched to make sure i'm not stuck in inception...

 

[htowngator]

Anyone find out 1yr pricing yet? I know they mentioned it in that new LTE pricing document, but no stores even know what that will be.

 

[vaheredity]

I was able to get an appointment at one of my local VZW stores for 9am tomorrow morning and that's when they open the doors. I tried to talk them into selling it to me today but no such luck.

Still haven't heard from BBY and I was the first to pre-order there on Feb. 6th. The VZW store is just down the street from them. I'll pick up my Bolt there and then go to BBY and ask for a refund on my $50 gift card. My BBY is totally clueless.

I called yesterday and they said that it is available for a 1 year contract, but they said there is no pricing info for 1 year yet.
