HTC Thunderbolt Release Date

[bluefire7002]

Blahhh well all lead to a release before March ends, cant be that bad right??

Looks like a nice phone. Where can I get one?:icon_ banana:

ha My guess would be candy mountain.... or the inventory "back room" of Verizon stores since apparently they are/ have been stocking up and I read somewhere they'll have plenty of units and won't sell out? ha sounds like someone mistaken that with the apple pie in the back Verizon's nom noming on...

what I found interesting is the dates each were uploaded/created. Feb 17th and 24th..hmm I'm guessing those were true dates but something went wrong?

and now no date is set again :icon_evil:..............

We’ve just heard from two independent sources that the HTC ThunderBolt is now scheduled to launch on March 21st, following repeated delays. While our tipsters don’t have proven track records in this case, the date lines up with an earlier report that noted a March 21st release date briefly featured on HTC’s Facebook page. We’ll see soon enough!

Again... some people feel far too entitled.
The phone is not going to release without 4g just to make 1% of Verizon's Android users happy. All the ads have said "first LTE phone", and I personally would sue (and win) on a bait and switch had I preordered.

Please everyone, stop with the entitlement. Verizon owes you nothing outside of the service you pay for. Many people here are acting like VZW broke some kind of promise...

I'm confused. You say you would sue (and win) on a bait and switch and in the next paragraph say Verizon owes us nothing outside of the service. If this phone comes out non 4g they would have broke some kind of promise right? Or are you saying they haven't broken a promise yet? I must have missed something in the past 480 something pages.

I read somewhere on this forum something about a $20 fee for LTE, is this officially released somewhere? When I find that post again I will ask the poster for verification, but I haven't heard anything official. I don't see how they can charge anything additional until the LTE coverage is as widespread as the 3G is now, but that's just my opinion.

For what it is worth....

Thunderbolt ad in the March 14th issue Sporting News (page 3). It's an HTC add and lists Verizon and Best Buy as... "Available at"

lol looks like yet more food has been laid out by big red for the almighty HYPEBEAST!!! :icon_ banana:
as long as this phone comes out this month im happy, if not, ive got my metal iphone to keep my need for new tech at bay

 

[kodiak799]

lol, there's been so many rumors nearly all of them have lined up with other similar rumors.

Throw this on the fire, I just saw a HTC TB commercial while watching the news.

 

[BoostedDroid]

Screw it, i need a phone TODAY, I'm going to buy the Iphone.

 

[guitarchris123]

I hope the HYPEBEAST likes salty foods, because I've got a huge bowl full of it at this point after amassing it grain by grain over the past several months. I'd rather have a bowl of concrete.

I find Monday 3/21 hard to believe, not a typical launch day of the week for VZW. I'd say that 3/17 or 3/24 are more likely, but as long as it comes out in March at this point I won't go postal. How tentatively the BGR article was written is not encouraging either.

I got a text a couple days ago from VZW about upgrading and called the number tonight. I thought it was kind of funny how I knew 10x more detail about VZW phones in general and this particular launch than the phone rep did. VZW employees down the food chain clearly aren't told jack until day of.

lmao so true... Ive been looking into this phone so much, yesterday when i went to BB to talk to the employee there, he got to go test out the TB with other employees and it was funny how I knew just as much as him when he actuallly played with it for couple of days :icon_eek:

There's no reason to think there will be a $20 LTE fee. That was just some poster making stuff up to serve his agenda.

They've been playing for a month or more?
