All I can say is that I'll believe it when I see it... Sorry.

At this rate, some of us will go insane by the time this phone comes out

The only question I would have is, What's the date on that piece of paper. Why would there be phones with older release dates?

My guess is that thats old. But...............You never know.

I'm thinking that too

Good point. If this was released recently, say today, why are there old dates on it?
Looks legit tho, but i think this was released in january or something, it's totally old news i think.:-*

Old news yes, but looks like it was when the device was gonna launch. If that's the case, we could see it on the third. Technically, that would be sooner then 10th release.

But if BB gets the exclusive launch it could be weeks later until they show up in VZW stores, right?

 

[SamOliver]

If Verizon has known for months that it was coming on March 10th, then they are just cruel!

Yea it'll be there launch day

No. BB will have exclusive 3rd party launch. VZW will have plenty in stores on launch day.

I think it may already be too late for some of us.

That happens every non-leap year.

 

[Green_Laser]

Yeah true.. Though to me what's neat is that we'll be talking about same digit (3, 10, 17, 24) release dates. Hopefully we won't have to go past 3! :-D

Okay, a lot of people here are saying "it's just a phone" ... or "just get an iPhone"

Well, I don't want an iPhone, I want a TB.

And there's a reason I am freaking out. After the initial unofficially official confirmation of Feb 24th release, I picked up a Dinc from BB on the 17th. My plan was to exchange the Dinc for TB when it comes out. The 14 day window for full return will be up on 3/3 and if TB is not released by 3/19 I'll be locked into a 2-yr contract with a Dinc.

One option for me is to return the Dinc before 3/3. Then I will have to find some phone to use until the TB release.

The other option is to go to BB manager at my local store and try to persuade him/her to extend my 30-day window till the TB release. After it was their "misleading" weekly circular and their "misleading" official statement of mid-February release that prompted me to pick up the DInc as my temporary phone.

I am going to try the second option first. Let's see what happens.

Okay so Engadget is reporting March 10th. According to the Best Buy Mobile document, it will be on sale on March 10th. This date makes sense.

March 10th is exactly one month from the iPhone release.

There is an image of the document here:

HTC Thunderbolt delayed until March 4th, says a Best Buy store with a Twitter account (update: or maybe March 10th?) -- Engadget

I believe 03.03.11!

So...what would you do?
Wife and I are eligible for upgrades (Since Feb 4) Bolt comes out in Mid March...contract up June 4. Do we wait? If the phone comes glitch fee do we do the Bolt? what about a 1 year on Verizon? How much more expensive is that? I feel like my timing on this is messed up...I am guessing the timing is NEVER right...
