HTC Thunderbolt Release Date

[Morlince]

I could see it getting pushed if the Xoom was a handset and not a tablet, but why would it matter if they came out the same day. I would think it would get more people in the store on the same day that might buy both instead of whatever they came on the individual release date to buy.... IMO

I was saying the Xoom commercial has an official date. The new Thunderbolt commercial say "muy pronto" at the end http://m.youtube.com/index?desktop_uri=/&gl=US#/watch?xl=xl_blazer&v=s2TkxqVrVeQ

I just spoke with Dan Mead and John Stratton, the CEO and COO of VZW. They said the Thunderbolt will most definitely be released the 24th unless it isn't. Also, the LTE network is definitely ready unless there are some problems. Skype will be preinstalled but may or may not work. They also told me that they love the phone very much and think we will all like it once they release it whenever they feel like it.

This pretty much sums up the Thunderbolt release.

This is almost making me want to go to another carrier. Or switch to iPhone. I'm tired of games and with the $50 I put down on pre-order I can walk out of bb paying only 150...come on vzw. Loyal droid customer contemplating droidicide!

How are they playing games with you? Not once did Verizon say "its coming on the 14th", "the 17th", or any other date... BB may have taken a preorder, but that has absolutely ZERO to do with VZW. If anything BB jumped the gun, but I can't even say that. Its always said "coming soon" in their print ads...

I'll explain exactly how VZW is playing games with their customers: they absolutely refuse to communicate what is going on and are discouraging a very excited group of enthusiasts. They have customers who want to know what is going on, they refuse to have a proper conversation with those customers, and ultimately, they have customers who feel disrespected. They could choose to level with people about what is going on, but instead they are playing games.

Logic dictated that iPhone would have 2 weeks before and after launch all to itself. If that didn't occur to you, that's your problem, not Verizon's.

The hype is weird for this phone, I personally think it will end up being the Eris 2 and will quickly become obsolete. Bionic and iPhone 5 will both be dual-core... Id rather wait 4-5 months and be happy for 2 years, than be happy for 4-5 months and then be disappointed that I didn't wait. Early upgrades are gone, so do you really think a 1ghz single-core phone will be up to snub for all of 2011 and 2012?? Remember that 1ghz single-core phones came out at the end of '09. (Nexus 1) So, halfway through 2012 your phone will more than likely be as archaic as a G1 is now.

Actually I was quoted by vzw as the 14th. So yes they are playing games

Did the employees ever receive previous e-mail messages for prior release dates?

I honestly would rather wait and have it 100%. But that's just me. Either way, Im picking it up the day it comes out.
