HTC Thunderbolt Release Date

If the TB is release on the 17th St Pattys day I shall be green with envy

Aye!

Quick (semi-off-topic) question from a newb here - In my breif exposure to the modding community, it looks like there a lot more activity on the Moto front as compared to what I see in HTC-targeted forums. I assume Droid X mods aren't usable on HTC steel, but is there really a huge difference in the number of ROM/Theme/Mod options people see in HTC devices?

...forgive my ignorance.
 
Let me add some fuel to the fire. For lunch today my friend and I went to the Verizon store and the manager (don't remember his name but the tag did say manager) was the guy that helped my friend with a billing issue. When they were done I asked about the TB and he said he could not give a date but it will be released some time next week. They didn't have the phones yet but they have all of the accessories for the TB currently available. He added the HTC guy was in the store that morning and told them all the phones had been reflashed, there was some kind of screen issue. Would someone pass the salt shaker?
 
Got tired of waiting.

Bought a Droid X OUTSIDE of Verizon

Will wait till (if) the T-bolt gets released and wait for bugs to be worked out.

Or wait till Bionic comes out.

In August when my contract renews I will sell my Droid X, then CASUALLY walk into a verizon store and choose a T-bolt, or Bionic, or whatever the latest greatest phone is.


Result: NOT getting frustrated by reading about 50 more rumored release dates.


BTW, I went from a Droid 1 to this Droid X and I LOVE it!!
 
So guys I called my VZW source today who's deep deep level 3 tier 4 in device acquisition and inquired about the TB. He told me that due to "issues" the phone has been delayed until the end of Q2.

Upset, I called up the local kiosk and talked to one of the reps there and she told me that it was indeed coming out this month. Obviously confused I decided to go into my local corporate store and ask. They all looked at eachother and with a smile the tech guy said "Shhhh, it's coming REALLY soon" I shouted at him "What kind of answer is that? Is it this month?!!" he shook his "no" and said "For ever delay there is a reason, look on the dollar bill and the pyramid holds many truths"

Stunned, shocked and overwhelmed I threw my Droid at him and stormed out. With no phone in hand to call my other "source" I called customer service from a strangers cell phone and told them I was ready for my upgrade. I figured this would be my chance to get some info. I proceeded to tell them I wanted the Thunderbolt to which the CSR said "I'll get that out to you right away." I hit paydirt!! I was going to crack this open for everyone on DF's. As we went through my account she said "Everything looks great. Lets get you your new phone" Woohoo! I thought to myself. Everybody will be stunned at the inside info I was going to unleash on them. There was a long pause so I said "hello?" the csr responded that she was there and was looking up something. A minute turned into 2, the stranger was bugging me for his phone back. I told him "hold on one more second."

Another minute had gone by and I asked again "Hello?" the CSR said "Sir I have bad news and good news." "First the bad news." I said "The Thunderbolt is not available." "What!!?" I shrieked. "Hey dude I want my phone back!!" said the stranger. "Hold on! Mam whats the good news?" "Well sir the good news is that it will be available on the...." the stranger yanked the phone out of my hand and ran off.

He flipped me the bird and told me "get your own phone you bum!"

Thats all the info I have for you all.
