Just a few updates regarding the TB.
1) Best buy will not be releasing earlier than VZW stores. They will have the same launch date.
2) Verizon WILL NOT be doing pre-orders on the Thunderbolt. They claim they will have enough in stock and is not worried about running out.
3) Price will be 249.99 for new 2 year contract. No rebates.
4) Verizon confirmed that the delay was in fact caused by the iphone 4. They're exact words were, " We had to give it a chance(referring to the iphone 4)".
5) Data Packages will remain the same until 4G coverage is available everywhere that 3G is. 30/month for unlimited
--------------------------------------------------------------------
This information came from the lead supervisor at my local corporate Verizon store. So I'm assuming this info is 100% legit.
Still nothing as far as a confirmed release date, but when I asked if it was dropping on the 24th, he smiled and said you'll have to come in on that day and see.
Hope this helps a few people. I'm hoping for a 24th release just like everyone else, and it looks like in 4 days, the wait is over! :icon_ banana:
