Class 10 (year 2010-2011 they came out)
SanDisk came out with theres i believe this year after CES when they introduced the SD-XC microSD cards, 32GB for $129 class 10 on launch day was a steal from Amazon.com

I just talked to a guy at BB customer relations and he will send me a gift card for $70.00 AFTER I buy the TB and told me I have 30 days to add the Buy Back program. He was pretty pissed at the way the people at BB treated me. Thanks again.Best of luck to you!
I'm not thrilled about having to wait for the gift card in the mail, since if *knock on wood* it is released on Monday, I'll have to wait - but $70 is $70! After how long we've waited already, a little longer shouldn't kill me (at least I hope not...).
I thinks he said he started today at 1130 or something, (a few post back & I could be wrong)
the people at best buy that told you that have no idea what they are talking about

if i were in a mood and a sales associate told me that, i would quickly find one that clearly stated what class it was and be sure to pick out a 6 or higher, and say "I guess this is fake then?"
BestBuy pisses me off with how they treat people and think they know more than the informed customer.

I just asked BMX if this week looked good for the launch, he Tweeted back "ThunderBolts are a go". This is good news, since this is the most positive answer yet. I feel good about having one in my pocket this week now.

It amazes me how quickly I can get completely excited again. This is a roller coaster and I'm not mature enough to stay even keel. Lol.

Agreed
Good news in the form of a campy movie reference (Thunderbirds Are Go) - who could ask for more?

Okay...glutton for punishment, so let the games begin. Called bb to see how they are wriggling free from their latest ad this week and had the follwing convos:
me: Is the Verizon t-bolt in stock?
bb girl: No. That phone has been delayed and we don't know when we're getting it at this time.
me: But for two weeks in a row your ad shows it as merchandise that is there for purchase right now.
bb girl: Sir, we have no control over when Motorola releases their phones.
me: That's fine for Motorola, but this phone is from HTC.
bb girl: Oh yeah...I mean HTC.
me: Can I talk to a manager in mobile?
Mgr (in caps because of his authority): Sir, we have no idea when the phone will be here at this time.
me: Yes, and you've said that for several weeks now, so why do you mantain an ad that says come buy it now, not coming soon, or preorder?
Mgr: Those ads are designed months in advance so if Verizon changes things like they have several times now, we don't have time to change the ad.
me: Do you have retractions?
Mgr: Yes, we have them posted in 3 places in the store.
me: What about pricing? Last week it was $249 now it's $299.
Mgr: Yes, that is correct.
me: What price will I pay for the phone when it gets there?
Mgr: Whatever the price says at the time you're here to buy it.
me: How can there be a price change during preorders?
Mgr: There isn't a promised price at preorder. The price point on this particular phone will range anywhere from $199 to $299 week to week.
me: Ummm...yes there is. If someone preordered last week, they would have done so based on $249 and, by the way, free buy back.
Mgr: No one did that. There have been no preorders taken since the pricing began to appear in weekly ads.
me: Wow. What a mess this is becoming for you guys. I know you can't control Verizon release dates, but you ought to get a grip on theses ads and advertised prices. I sure don't get how there can be floating prices for a phone that doesn't even exist...then whatever price is in place when the phone actually lands is my price. It's like playing a shell game.
Mgr: I can give you Verizon's phone number for more information.
me: ooooh....pinch me! Thank you very much and I'll talk to you soon.
I do feel remorseful for the sarcasm. I should probably be nicer there - especially since it sounds like I might be one of the few preorders and they know who I am each time I call.
