[RELEASED] The 4.3 inch "Thunderbolt" aka "Mecha" aka "Incredible HD" from HTC...beyond coming soon!

We've blamed many things on the delay of the Thunderbolt:

LTE handoff issues
Verizon i*hone 4
Mobile hotspot
Skype mobile
Samsung

One tech site is reporting from MWC that Samsung could be to blame due to their own handset issues and the fact that Verizon wants to release LTE devices around the same time frame.

Uhmmm...yeah. You all are so on top of it, I got nuttin'. Here's to my being out of town on the 24th and if the planets are in alignment, and it turns out to be the real release date, I will be trying to get through on the phone with VZW to order my Tbolt.

We haven't "changed" the Thunderbolt launch date - since we haven't announced it yet.

So the question back to VZW would be...why haven't you announced it yet?

Seriously...it's getting close to March...Time for some Thunderbolts.

If they wait any longer they will have to call it the HTC Hurricane!!! Yikes...maybe it will be the HTC Snowflake with a release date in Dec 11

@VerizonWireless Is it okay for the HTC Merge to come out of witness protection yet? #HTC #Thunderbolt #Ridiculouslaunch

:D

Maybe the T-Bolt is being delayed so they apply some heavy discounts to it? We wait forever for this phone...they have YET to give us release info...are charging us more than any other phone since the stupid R2D2 phone (why that cost more...I still don't know)...

And we are all anxiously awaiting and willing to take it :eek:

Motorola's going to drop a couple of phones real quick and their press release will be...

"Well, we locked these 'suckas' down cause we hate those rooters that fix the stuff we didn't finish and remove our awesome Motoblur we've worked so hard to make slower and uglier than last time...but here they are, actually available to puchase...unlike the Thunderbolt."

I'm a little bitter...u tell? :)
