HTC Thunderbolt Release Date

[mth04]

what is the next droid out for verizon if not the bolt?

The bolt will be next but its not a ' Droid ' device. Just powered by android. Next Droid is set to be the Bionic if all goes right

Yea I would think so...

ugh, I just really wanna know a release date, I don't care if its march at this point, I just wanna know

 

[wvdroidman]

Pre-orders only?

Here's an interesting question. Best Buy has taken Thunderbolt preorders for the past few days. Verizon doesn't want to release the thunderbolt on the 14th because fruit could be returned. But, people who pre-order at BestBuy are obviously not buying the fruit. Also, Verizon would probably like a few test phones out in the field before the big release. What if only those that preordered get the phone on the 14th? Could that happen? Seems like it would be a win-win situation for Verizon. Except for bad press but it's not like they've been doing a good job with avoiding that anyway.

this is exactly what i was thinking. Hope this is their plan.

 

[wvdroidman]

yes but i can't wait til march cause money will be gone by then.

Just wondering, if I preorder from BestBuy, and I make my purchase there, will I have to change my current plan? I have a data plan already included, and I like the minutes my plan offers currently because it is no longer offered.

All we can really do is wait till Monday, if my phone isn't there then I guess 14th wasn't a real date. But it will be there soon.
