Thank you very much ben

Well, I am up on the 18th for a new phone, so I guess it doesn't matter. I was hoping to go to a store to play with it first, and then call verizon to get an early upgrade. Oh well!

Well LTE prices is what I was worried about so I guess that's good news overall. And any news as to why they were delayed?

bet you $1000 that it's the ipad 2

unlimited it VERY good news...I don't mind waiting as much now

The reasoning makes sense, but don't you think that VZW would have known about it earlier?

SO if the initial date was March 17th, they tried to do it earlier and couldn't do it then there really is no delay.

Verizon had been planning on launching this device Feb. 14th and then March 10th, but as with all devices, there's always a secondary planned launch date (or a third planned launch date for the Thunderbolt), to account for any unexpected delays which may or may not come up. Being the third time this has device has been officially and internally postponed I believe we are looking at a definite March 17th launch.

Technically yes, which is why there was no announcement.

Good news is in relation to the 4G LTE data plans. If you are currently signed up, or will sign up for 4G LTE data plans in the near future, you WILL be grandfathered in once tiered prices hit this summer and you will NOT have to pay more than the $30 per month for unlimited. So sign up early and lock that unlimited data in.

Bennnnn, regarding this statement. I came to Verizon when the Droid X came out and that is what I have. I am planning to buy the TB at full non-contract price. Am I understanding correctly that as long as I do this before the summer new tiered plans go in effect, I am golden?

Thanks for the info. Heck, what's one more week

Well I'm going to go cry for a bit...

Thank you apple for delaying our thunderbolt!

 

[SUB-dawg]

a few questions bennn:

1. when will we see an announcement?

2. when you say "will sign up for 4g data plans in the near future" and "go and lock in the unlimited data" do you mean when we buy the device, start with the unlimited data plan?

I am wondering the same. I have an Eris on the unlimited (3g) plan. I am in a non-4g area (and will not have in the not so near future either). How do i lock in the unlimited 4g pricing?

I definitely agree with you!!!

At least that's another week for me to read up on all Android tricks so I will be that much more prepared. Lots of good reads coming from another platform.
