Thunderbolt Confirmed in this week's Best Buy Ad

[prakash99]

Well the Best Buy flyer I have says $249. I'll bring that one in for a price match!

Yeah, me too!!

 

[prakash99]

Well Best buy have went up on the price. Now it's $299

Check the ad for yourself
Flash View of Weekly Ad Circular - Best Buy

and Im starting to think it's going to get a March release. Since in this Weekly ad it keeps talking about March 2011

The price is still $249 in the weekly circular. $299 price is on the monthly Buyer's Guide for March.

it is astronomical to me how these large companies can be so profitable and make so much money with such incompetence. im sorry for beating a dead horse but this is crazy.

I'm buying mines from verizon corporate store,which it's one near my house and one near my job,so Im good. I'm just hoping their not sold out by the time i get off work.

 

[bberrynewbie84]

That was going to be my strategy, the old Price match game. Wondering if that will really work. Verizon is suppose to have it for $615.

I thought it was going to $565 retail at Verizon?

your thinking of that $569 price in that PO that was supposed to be how much VZW pays for each unit not the customer but there was some speculation on how legitimate that was cuz i guess any VZW employee could print up a PO that says whatever they want and just not submit it

 

[bberrynewbie84]

If it's over 600 bucks,I'm going to wait on it,can't afford that right now. :-\

So I went to my local BB just after lunch today. They had pulled the print ads from the front entrance. I asked for one from the yellow shirt and he dug one out from under the counter. (TB listed @ $249/$749) I then proceeded to walk over to the mobile device area and in the TB display area they have crappy TB preorder info printed out from an in store computer and suck in a 8.5x11 plexi holder. No dummy phones. It looks like someone printed the info from an email this morning, lol. None of this was in place yesterday afternoon. I believe that BB thought they would have this phone today, but VZW pulled the rug from under their feet, agian.

sorry but there was an add correction notice along with the sunday add saying that the Tbolt was featured in the add but was delayed and that it will not feature SKYPE as previously stated in the advertisment.. Thanks verizon...again

 

[DJBeanPole]

Thanks verizon...again

Every time you thank Verizon [for the delays to the TBolt] God kills a kitten.

clearly you dont know much about the Thunderbolt so you assume its the same as a EVO just cuz it has kickstand, even though Thunderbolt has 50% more RAM a 2nd Gen Snapdragon with a much improved GPU Dolby sound with that fairly large speaker behind it's improved kickstand that can be used both horizontal and vertical, improved camera (both camera's are improved actually)
oh and also Sense 2 but yea you know its only a EVO with verizon name on it right? moron

What article mentions that? I've been checking daily on droid-life and never saw any mention of a March date. I've only seen the 24th, 28th, or still unknown as the dates.

I agree but we would've heard something by now if they are to be available in stores Thrs. That's less than 48hrs from now and nothing from BBY or VZ. Clearly, they're not ready. I had my head set on 1st week of march anyways.

It's all speculation. One person probably said, "my best buy told me not until March" and Droid Life runs with it.
