Best Buy Details

it might be the Toy Helicopter ad, that was the best one in my opinion

it starts out with a guy on his bike looking at the ThunderBolt, he gets off, he's beginning to plan a party, and then he attaches the ThunderBolt to a toy helicopter and begins sending out invites that way

HTCthunderbolt has a screencap if thats the one, its the only one i didn't find on youtube even before the ads were pulled until he showed me it, i liked it better than the Verizon rooftop one, I hate when ads try to be movie trailers...

Yep thats the one! I can't find it anywhere online
 
im thinking some jerk went to bed laughing that we are spending our time trying to make something out of nothing :)
 
Before i head off to Bed, i will leave you with these Words to ponder upon.

"During the storm, upon a plateau so wide, a red bolt appears, sending my signal sky high."

Goodnight my friends.

22.23


EDIT: Oh almost forgot! Sideways, sees the bolt

It was posted by someone earlier on this thread....people are looking at capital letters and other ideas but I'm clueless
A red bolt ... sideways see the bolt ... sounds like Netflix to me.

22.23 ... I read that as Gingerbread is ready for an OTA push to the TB.
 

hmm, it might come with a dock, hence the cupholder clue
and the sideways clue is landscape, which is also possible that they added landscape for the homescreen (finally) and netflix?

my brain is hurting

and even if this cryptic stuff doesn't turn out to be true, he might not even tell us if were right

anywho, i personally would enjoy a viral ARG right about now, and thats what this most likely is, its too cryptic to not be planned out by a viral marketing team.

I remember the Ilovebees.com for HALO 2, that was awesome stuff

but in any case, it gets your mind off waiting and doing nothing and instead your melting your brain over clues and waiting without realizing it, the announcement will arrive sooner than you thought
 
it said 22.23

Android 2.2 (Froyo) -> Android 2.3 (Gingerbread)

And yeah, I know it's supposed to be 2.4 is "Gingerbread for the masses", but that's all I got.


"During the storm, upon a plateau so wide, a red bolt appears, sending my signal sky high."


I think the Plateau clue has to do with new LTE markets being launched after the ThunderBolt strikes
 
I went today to BB and they had several TB displays setup, but without the sample TBs. Pricing is set at $249. I asked the only sales guy about the TB release date and he had no clue about the Thunderbolt, I had to repeat the name twice - Jeez.

The Verizon store is at walking distance from the BB and one of the sales guys said without any hesitation it should be available within a week or so.
