Best Buy Details

The commercial is very clearly targeting the fact that the storm (by counting lightening and thunder separation) is coming closer. No doubt they're doing this to signify the Thunderbolt is coming closer. Now whether or not the counting is directly related to the release being 3 days away is definitely reading into it but not unreasonable by any means.

Not sure if everyone missed when the commercial was first posted on the 15th... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A9h_Klwueks

So OBVIOUSLY it isn't suggesting that the phone is 3 days away, because that would have meant the 18th.

Everyone is talking about the commercial with the counting, as if it really was JUST released.
Originally, that commercial was in Spanish (they seem to have taken it off of their channel) and at the end, it said "Februaro" instead of "Coming Soon"

Guys, I think you all need to step away from it, I see people that are on the forums are serious fans/users but let me tell you about my thoughts when i saw those ads on TV with my wife and then with my dad last night after dinner. They have no idea what TB is and they saw the girl counting ad and both were hooked, I didn't tell them it was something I have been waiting for almost a month but they are the targets they both were intrigued and right away wanted to know what TB was all about. Lets face it for every hardcore fan like us there are 10 people who just want a "cool" phone. Those marketing/ads are for them not for us, we market for Verizon we are the locked in customers we will buy regardless, they know this, you try to push drugs to a newbie not to a junkie :)
 
I make one little tweet about BestBuy in it saying what i read on here as a question, and I get a response by the same person that removed the BestBuy tweet about the 24th.

and then here comes the BestBuy mention police :P

Maybe she ate all the Thunderbolts? :eek:

I kid of course, or do I? :D
 
no phones tonight.

Our VZW rep at 4:30pm eastern said the 28th is the new date, I don't believe him, but it was after the internal email this morning so...
 
Nothing from Jay yet, huh? That makes me nervous. I wish I had some restraint and could stop obsessing over this, but my OCD won't let me. :)
Here's to hearing some good news soon.


Oops, he must have posted that as I was typing! And not good news. Balls.

Just called 2 BBs and they both said 24th.. They have gotten no emails or any delays. Im thing the 24th still..

Ok, I couldn't help myself. I called BB and Verizon to inquire about this "email". I was told by both places that they hadn't received an email about any delay that they knew of. Verizon was just an employee, and BB was Mobile Manager (I think thats what he said). BB told me the 28th and Verizon didn't know. Seems like no one has received this mystery email.

I dont know if this is possible but could my BB get priority or more phones since we are in a 4g area? The thing that I dont get is people are wanting the phone to come out so bad but most of them wont even be able to use the 4g:rolleyes:

Never in a million years. I wouldn't ever own an Apple product.

I was about to look into getting an Incredible to replace my Eris when all this TB stuff started. I've had apple computers forever but for whatever reason never really wanted the iPhone. It was cool way back when it came out but I like the way Android works, maybe I'm just used to it and to old to change.
 
Well I've been following this intently waiting for any real info. I honestly dont think anyone, low level VZ rep or BB mobile manager is really going to know til the day they arrive, but at least I finally got a ship date for my new coilovers!
