HTC Thunderbolt Release Date

Ugh, just went to BestBuy and they said if the phone comes out on the 24th, and I'm on vacation and can't pick it up until the 28th - then I cannot get the free Buyback. I can't even pay for the phone ahead of time or anything. If it comes out on the 28th - then I'm also screwed because the free Buyback program ends on the 26th.

Sounds like I'm going be cancelling my pre-order and getting a 1-year contract from Verizon.

if you buy me one ill go pick up urs when ur on vacation so u get the buyback program! :icon_ banana:

LOL - Thanks but no thanks :)
 
Went to BestBuy when I got out of class, pre-ordered. Asked the guy the standard "so when can I get my phone?" He says "Probably the 24th, maybe the 28th though" meh. It happens, can't change it. Still waiting.
 
You guys all realize that the buyback program is a total ripoff and will be even more of a ripoff when you have to pay for it, right? You should be able to sell your phone for considerably more on eBay. If you're just lazy then I get it, but trust me - you'll make more money selling it yourself than BB will give you.

It's common sense, but if you don't trust me then go find the segment that good morning America did on it last week where they compared the BB program to eBay on a year old Iphone. You'll be amazed at how much BB plans to screw you out if money.

You do realize it's free until the 26th so nobody is losing anything by signing up for it. There is nothing that says you have to use their program in the event you choose to sell your phone, so why are you even bothering to argue about it vs. EBay?

All these release date rumors and no one looked at the science. If you saw the new ads, counted the lightning strikes and added that to the numerical equivilent of the letters in Mississippi, you would then realize that the Mayans had predicted the correct launch date decades ago.

PS Nostradamus was a close second
 
BB yay,Big Red nay

BB rep that took my pre order said it will be available the 24TH for sure, from them, but not from Verizon until later. He's on the pre order list for the retail price. Maybe I'm gulible but he didn't have to show me the list.:icon_ banana:

I sure hope so cause I just posted my X on ebay and really do not want to go back to my blackberry. The bidding actually ends on the 24th so I may be screwed for a couple of days :(

From your fingers to God's ears cuz frankly I think getting this phone released is going to take an act of God. But Sunday would be awfully sweet seeing as it is my birthday and the TB is suppose to be my b-day present from my hubby.[/QUOTE]

Happy Birthday.
Mine is the 20th as well. Gonna be a b-day present to myself. I cant wait to get rid of my Imagio! I am on #6 of that phone in a year and a half. I like the Sense, but it is slower than dial up!
 
try not to believe anything the BB reps say.... they have as much knowledge about this phone as an iphone user...

all signs do point to the 24th but until i see hard proof like an announcement from verizon itself im not gonna get my hopes up again
 
Okay then...

"just wanted to verify with everyone that it is infact being released on the 24th. in our systems we have a large order coming on the 23rd. so it is definately being released on the 24th


EDIT:
