HTC Thunderbolt Release Date

[Bigdaddy1207]

Like I said before my vz friend never could tell me a date till now, back at the beginning of feb I asked him about every week if he knew anything, and he would tell me no nothing new every time even when other reps were saying the 14th. He did however tell me tonight that the 14th was on the table for a few days then it got pushed back. So tonight he told me the 24th and that came from hq. So I guess if we don't here anything official by Tuesday then I would say that the 24th is a no go.

I hope you are right, I am tired of my OG Droid. It is great phone but to make it work right gotta do a custom rom. I connect to a corporate exchange account so I don't feel comfortable doing that.

VZW: Hello. Thank you for visiting our chat service. May I help you with your order today?
You: Yes - I am looking to upgrade asap. I am really interested in the HTC Thunderbolt. I heard the 24th is the launch date - is this true, or is it at least supposed to come out this month. I'm seeing so many commercials for it.
VZW: I would be more than happy to assist you with your question today.
VZW: yes that is correct the 24th
You: ok cool - so no preorder?
VZW: not at this time
You: ok - will this be the 24th at stores only, or online as well?
VZW: both
You: ok thats great news, especially since I've heard that it was delayed past 2/24
VZW: ok great
VZW: Is there anything else I can assist you with today?
You: No, thank you so much

I also chatted to a rep tonight and he said that there is no info on the Bolts release as of this time. Then he got really pushy and wanted me to upgrade that minute...

I now vote for a silent release date! On the 24th, cause those not apple fanboys now go, oooo new speeds! And more functionality!

Thanks for sharing your knowledge with everyone. It was very knowledgeable and interesting.

I think that this release will be pushed so far back that most of us will get the Bionic that will release before or shortly after the T-Bolt.

I had a silent release this morning. Whoo doggies, done stunk up my place real bad! :biggrin:

Back on topic, I don't care if they do a silent launch or if they shout it on top of millions of rooftops, I'm waiting patiently for this hunk of electronic goodness.

Lol I am 30 miles east of Nashville it shows that I should have great coverage at work and border coverage at my house. I can't wait to get this phone I wish they would just announce it already.

I hope this isn't deviating from the topic but how many here anxiously awaiting the T-Bolt release will be able to take advantage of the 4G capabilities on day one.

I'm solidly in a 4G area already.

Work area is solid but my house is like 3 miles from the current 3g/4g border.

My house, work and the drive between the two are all 4G. Just missing a 4G phone right now.
