even if it's ready--i bet they still do a bit more testing JUST to make sure it's ready. firmware etc might be a go, but since they've not really released a date for it--they could still do extensive testing on this batch of fixes.

think about them officially letting out a release date & then delaying it AGAIN, you know the backlash would be unprecedented in these forums.

it might be ready, but it doesn't mean it's in the mail tomorrow. i'm betting later this week (if it were this week)
2 days of testing, 2 days of shipping

Trust me a firmware is not called final if it hasn't been tested already. Final firmwae=does not need any more testing. If it needed another 2 days for testing it would be still beta.

I take the latest tweet to mean TOMORROW..."completely ready for launch". as in no reason to wait until Thursday.

...I am such the optimist

true...

having worked retail, "completely" to me is still meaning "barring expected possibilities & subject to change without notice"--just like they were ready to release it before with "the final firmware" at the time until they decided to hold it back for unexplained reasons (most likely the firmware fixes)

i sound pessimistic, but i know i'm gonna be checking these threads like mad looking for a "IT'S RELEASED" on anything like androidcentral/headlines/phandroid and rushing to vzw online to order

i read it that way at first too, then i snapped back into reality. :o

if VZ actually lets the thing out the door tomorrow with no announcement after giving us the silent treatment for a month, i will go insane! #unrealisticdreams
 
His latest tweet tells me that it might be before Thursday. Anyone else getting that impression?
Added: Ok, no one thinks it will happen before then. LOL determined.

Does BB have an activation fee on new phones even if i'm doing a 2 year plan?

The activation fee comes from vzw not bb. If you are upgrading do you have to pay an upgrade fee like the other carriers? If you do, just call vzw,ask for cancelations .... They will take care of it.

@black_man_x if the bolt had dual core and a bigger battery to make up for dual core, i'd fight someone over it.

@brandon_m70 o then u will love.... o wait I dont want to start any rumors and such.. but you will get your wish..

oh and thanks to that fiasco on AndroidCentral, he's planning to cancel his current twitter, switch to a private one, and also he just tweeted that starting "monday no more phone talk until like thursday, once a week"
 
I feel like people should not get their hopes up for tomorrow...

I believe Panda was saying it is ready to go, and I believe that it is, but it still takes a little time. My bet is Thursday at the earliest, maybe next week. Believe what you want though! Just don't want a bunch of sad pandas (lol) tomorrow when it doesn't hit.

and going back and reading the other tweets, he also stated that the Thunderbolt can do more than just VoiceOver3g that other phones can't do, including the fruit phones (iphone)

and on another topic quickly, apparently the Incredible 2 won't be the name of the next Incredible
