HTC Thunderbolt Release Date

[gdwyer22]

Yeah, that's when I thinks it's being released...

Just wanted to weigh in on the commercial. I believe I heard the girl saying once (11), doce (12), trece (13),

So it's coming out 11/12/13?

For 3D accelerated games, sure...
For emulators like the psx, or the rumored n64oid (im reaaalllyyy waiting for that one), it will be better than anything aside from dual core phones...

That was one of the things I was looking forward to, emulators. So you think the SNES emulators will play great on it?

oh for sure man...snes emulators work good on anything...but best on a snes

Well, that's great new to me. I have a Blackberry Storm 1 and it is so slow. Internet loading takes forever, and texting sucks. I can't wait for this phone to be released.

Someone asked about swype way back, I don't think it'll come preloaded, but I will put swype on mine, I signed up for the beta way back in December, I dunno if you can sign up and download the beta now, but probably not sadly.... I have the .apk for swype installer, should work on any Android phone, but I have no way of sharing it with the world, maybe Google it, someone else is bound to have it.

14th guys, I dunno what you're arguing about...... Although BestBuy will definitely have the tb on Monday, vzw stores might not. But why buy from a Verizon store, as stated earlier bestbuy has the buyback program free right now, and of you are using a two year or buying at full price without a new every two discount, bestbuy is the place to get it.

I thought someone said the TB comes withs swype installed already. I could be wrong though..

If the one who said the girl is counting 11 12 13 is right, then maybe that is counting up to the 14th

I called two Best Buy stores locally, and both of them said that they WILL accept my NE2 $30 credit.

cool. Did they give you a release date?

Do you think BB will allow us to activate the phone ourselves? I want to transfer an upgrade from one of my other lines.

One of them told me the 17th, and the other told me "2nd or 3rd week of February". Mind you, this was before the leaked memo that talked about the possible delay of releasing the TB.

No idea! I didn't ask them those questions because mine is relatively simple: sign a new 2-year contract on the primary line (mine) and leave the second line alone. Both Best Buys did mention an $18 fee they had to pass along to us from VZW. I think those were the activation fees...

 

[want a droid]

About using the upgrade from another line I was told there are no problems with that, but whoever the primary account holder is has to sign the form.

My wife got me a used Eris a few weeks ago so I could quit using my sorry Imagio while waiting on the TB. I signed up for the beta and installed Swype on the Eris no problem.
