HTC Thunderbolt Release Date

[66dude]

It makes zero sense I agree but I think we've already confirmed that BB has them in stock. It's a weird situation, make no mistake.

Food for thought... just because BB has them in stock on the 14th does NOT meant that they will sell them on the 14th. They might very well sell them on the 14th, but without official pricing details and such, it is asinine for BB to sell the phone prior to knowing such details.

someone just linked a best buy ad with pricing and from what i have heard 4g data is staying the same as 3g.

After looking at the link, I have to say that's interesting. If it's next week's ad, does this mean they'll start selling next week?

and you can bet they won't be selling any phone's if Apple prevents VZW form activating them...

Took the liberty of calling a bunch of my local Best Buy stores:

@font-face { font-family: "Cambria"; }p.MsoNormal, li.MsoNormal, div.MsoNormal { margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; font-size: 12pt; font-family: "Times New Roman"; }span.pp-headline-itempp-headline-address { }div.Section1 { page: Section1; } 825 Dulaney Valley Road, Towson, MD:
“No release date, taking preorders starting Monday”

1717 York Road, Lutherville-Timonium, MD:
“No release dat, taking preorders now”

8645 Pulaski Highway, Rosedale, MD:
“February 14th, taking preorders now”

10400 Owings Mills Boulevard, Owings Mills, MD:
“No release date, taking preorders now”

Hunt Valley Towne Centre, 118 Shawan Road, Hunt Valley, MD:
“No release date, taking preorders now”

6711 Ritchie Highway, Glen Burnie, MD:
“No set release date (told me maybe Feb 28th, or 18th), taking preorders now and preorder is good for whenever date the phone comes out”


So take what you want from that

I live in Waldorf, MD...How close is that to Rosedale, MD? lol

This ad is VERY interesting. It says nothing about release date. Not coming soon, nothing in relation to when you can pick it up. Look at the one they posted for the xoom. "Available Thursday, February 24". It almost makes it seem that one could walk into the store on Sunday, and get it. In fact, I wouldnt be surprised if people tried to do just that. Im not sure what the timeline is for the ads, and it may very well be that they submitted the layout before the delay. Getting the official price def helps things start to materialize.

I looked it up and its a little bit more than an hour away. Hopefully the BB in Waldorf has them on Monday.

 

[wvdroidman]

so the 24th is the date for sure? Are there other, better phones coming out after may 3rd?

 

[dlwhtrose]

I still say that for those that pre-ordered, BB is going to release to them on the 14th. Then I think TB will be released to general consumers the week of the 20th, thus the add.

You think Verizon won't be selling their first 4G LTE phone until after Best Buy does? Come on.

probably, but I'm not convinced they will be better than the TB within that time frame. there will always be a better phone on the horizon, but for me the TB does appear to be a sweet spot.

If Best Buy has them in stock, they can sell them. Supposedly, Verizon frowns upon this, but BB can do it.

I see absolutely no indication that Best Buy will start selling a phone on Monday that hasn't even been officially announced...

Have they ever done this before? Just curious
