just looked at the screen, all the info you blanked out would make it a lot more trustworthy/but hey, it jives with what my system says.

We all trust you more then any other rumors. At least I do. Would you mind keep us updated?

Also, where do you get your shipment? is that from Verizon here in US or from HTC? Also, do they give you tracking info?
 
we are actually getting it from a vendor called reliance. The info I blocked out was our stores address and the address and name of our ordering department,

I'm pretty sure Verizon has stated that they will not be charging more for LTE service over 3G.

its in there best interest to leave it that way too, i mean look at Sprint and there data costs with 4G and now premium data added to it

It would make sense to not charge extra for it when its not available nationwide yet.

Is it just me or is the majority of us here only getting the ThunderBolt for its other features other than LTE? lol

I want it because I need a new phone and I want to have what's top of the line when I get a phone as I don't upgrade very often. I still have a Voyager!

I mainly want it for the larger screen, new HTC Sense 2.0, DLNA, kickstand with surround sound speaker and the free 32gb memory card and the fact its an HTC device on Verizon that is more powerful than the EVO :P

And i can see it now, once the phone is out and shipping, we'll all be clammering on here to see when our phone will arrive, check the tracking status and find out "grrr, fedex won't deliver it today but its at the shipping hub, I'm gonna call to see if they'll let me pick it up" (i remember that from the Droid Incredible launch last year, it was crazy on here with nearly 300,000 posts on that thread alone for shipping status, and i was one of those peeps that picked there incredible up at the fedex place lol, well it was only 20miles away and i was bored and i was like eh, i gotta have it NOW! lol plus it was my first android device, I was moving from a Touch Pro 2 to the Incredible.

So to put it in perspective, i went from a Motorola RAZR, Motorola Z6tv, LG Voyager, HTC Touch Pro 2, Droid Incredible, Droid X, got my Incredible back from my friend, ThunderBolt™ (soonish) :P

Don't get me wrong, that all sounds amazing and I eagerly await it, but my voyager turns off if I close it to hard. I am unreasonably desperate for a new device period :D

That's my same exact situation, bro. My Voyager dies on me every 6 or 7 hours because I get no service or 1 bar when in class, but keep it on because I tend to text a lot and when I find that 1 bar I get my texts. Also, living just outside of LA in a more upper class suburb and not having a fancy smartphone is pretty ghetto.

I like to go on the internet too, so 4G is pretty nice.

But this besides the point, does this pretty much mean that Best Buy preorder-ers are going to have to wait until the 24th as well? Is this an official street date? (The 24th)

So do they provide you tracking? I am interested to see when it leaves their wharehouse. If the in-stock is Feb 23, they better ship it soon :D

FWIW, went by the store today to play with the dummy. Clerk confidently told me that the phones would be in the store 2/24, but won't go on sale until 2/27. BTW, the phone feels great - solid and not too wide for my smallish hands. Fits well in shirt and pants pocket. Kickstand seemed strong enough. Back of case was the standard rubberize feel that I've got with my old Eris.
 
So is there any word out in the wild about if and when pre-orders for Verizon will be? Not Best Buy, but Verizon. haha
