HTC Thunderbolt Release Date

[guitarchris123]

Doesn't these things usually post to Verizon's testman website before it gets put on actual website?

What's a testman website?

iPhone, Cell Phones, Smartphones, Refurb/CPO Phones with the Best Cell Phone Service - Verizon Wireless

You would kind of have to guess at what the phone's actual URL would be after the address. But it seems like somebody usually stumbles upon a new phone on there before its put on the actual website.

Here is an example for an old phone. It would be almost impossible to guess what it would be for the TB.

Verizon Wireless User Guide - Motoslvr L7c

For example, TB's could be something like this:
...com/smartphone/4g/htctbolt_???/

SO good to see BB selling MicroSD cards for them, since they already come with a 32GB chip (the largest it will handle...lol)

Maybe it's to get them out while minimizing the iPhone returns?

Would there be any reason to want a slow intro to the 4G system so not to overwhelm it? I know they're already running modems on 4G but phones are a different story.

Found this:
Thunderbolt will be released February 24th, 2011

New Verizon Phones - New Cell Phones

Sorry is this has already been posted.

We haven't seen that site yet, but it does not look very legit. All that guy did was read the article on Boy Genius Report and repost the date BGR reported getting from its insiders. Websites like that are not to be trusted. If anything legit is found out, it will be posted first on Droid Life, Android Central, Phandroid, BGR, Engadget, etc.

Thanks will watch the ones you mentioned.

Release date today...

So has any one else tried to call Verizon's customer service to verify whether they are going to release the Thunderbolt today.....or are you into the drama of guessing??
All it takes is a simple call.....maybe the girl was not being honest with me last night, but then maybe she was.....
