HTC Thunderbolt Release Date

[mrkhat4]

I didn't get my text, call or e-mail either. I did call VZ and was told they had no idea, but I could check the site after midnight.

What I didn't like about wirefly was having to sent it back there for warranty. You could be without a phone for 2 weeks shipping it back and forth.

That is only for the first 30 days, after that, you go to a verizon retail store. This was confirmed by a WireFly rep posting on this forum.

Here's the link.

No where does it state you can take the phone to a verizon store for warranty after 30 days. I asked that question at a verizon store and multiple calls to verizon. I got the same response. "it must be returned to the point of sale" for warranty.

Yeah like someone else said, they'll tell you anything to get a sale.

i bought my OG droid at BB. I have gotten it warrantied atleast 3 times at the verizon store.

It depends on the contract that you sign with the retailer.

Indirect Verizon Stores and national retailers generally have 30 in-house service, after that any Verizon Store will do.

You would have to read the wirefly paperwork for details.

Also, its the Annual Upgrade that costs an extra $20. Enjoy it, because its your last.

thunderbolt world wide

What the deal with a sim card and using the thunderbolt outside the usa...GSM style. And is the LTE the 4g method? Is that really available outside usa?

I have decided to get my phone from a Verizon store directly. BB told me that they will not honor my NE2 $50.00 on my account. I have never purchased anything before through BB as I always thought their prices s**ked. I will try and get my gift card money back and if not I will purchase a very overpriced something. I also don't want to buy over the web as I want to be able to walk into any VZ shop and get service without delay. That's my opinion

 

[stealthgriffin]

The Sim card slot is not for a GSM card, as the phone doesn't have gsm radios.

And I don't think that there is any lte outside of the us yet.

Well, I if im not mistaken, tax that you pay is formulated by how much you pay. So unless you pay full retail, you wont have to pay tax on 750, you will pay tax according to how much you pay.(this doesn't apply to internet resellers) And also, activation fees are only charged to NEW customers. People with pre-existing contracts or upgrades will not be charged activation fees.

Lovely CA charges tax on the MSRP of the item regardless of the discount you get from the retailer.

Edit: replace item with phone. Doesn't affect all purchases like that sentence makes it sound.

Thankfully LTE will be a worldwide standard for mobile devices. International roaming for VZW... check. Can you hear me now?

That article is funny though. They try to compare a network which will top out at 1-5 million users to a network which will easily have 20x-100x that many users.
