Best Buy Details

Lol actually a poster on this forum posted that. Shows where DroidLife gets it's "inside sources"
 
Ummm... they got that from another thread on this site... the circle is complete. Let the release commence!
 
I think its the same person cause they are claiming it as their own, but I did see where someone else posted it referring to this site.
 
I hope I haven't screwed myself here, but my contract with at&t was up, so on Feb 11th I went to BB and got a dinc. I plan on returning it for the tbolt when it's released.
In the event it is "delayed " passed the 30 day return period, I assume I'll be stuck with the dinc (not such a bad thing.) Would this be a correct assumption, or do you think BB would let me prepay for the tbolt and go without a phone till its available?
Return the inc on the 14th day (15 day return period) and go to another BB and buy another inc. Return when the TB comes out OR be stuck with it..
 
But the poster from this site was posting the pic to debunk Droid_Life's claim of a delay. It is the owner of the pic that posted it.
 
okay guys, time for the nightly update.


Nothing has changed at all. No internal documents, in stock date still the same, only thing I learned is that we'll have 3 bundles with the phones for accessories, and like 5-6 total accessories.


Talked to my BBM guy and he says they will drop ship so they wont show up as in transit for us or that they are in the warehouse, but will show up in our system when they are in. The way the ad shows it, he thinks they'll be dropped tomorrow or saturday (we dont do sundays)

Nice! I was wondering how come you wern't seeing any on the way but drop ship makes perfect sense now. DUH! Thanks for the timely updates again, Jay.
 
Someone commented this on droid-life. Dunno if its shopped or not but it shows verizon stores getting them in on the 23rd.

edit: pictures a little big, ill just post the link

I posted this on Droid Life's "delayed" article (check the username). Wanted to point people over here and help soothe some tension the wolf crying was causing.

Note: I am the poster who credited the source, both the username of the person who posted it, and which forum it was from.
 
Guys at best buy dont know shit. I think so far Jay is the only one who hasn't speculated on what he doesn't know, they just simply dont know. Jay is trying his best to keep us updated and passed on the info that he is sure about and what the computer says. Those people opening their mouth about when it will be available are just taking a wild guess. No one knows, I am sure someone up at best buy corporate knows and they wont open their mouth until the last moment.

If someone at best buy tells me and gives me an exact date then I dont believe them. I have been at best buy a few times and I have gotten honest answers and they have said they simply dont know when its coming out.
 
I have a feeling that some BB people are simply saying that it will be later than the 24th simply to not have everyone show up on the 24th. My own datapoint is the girl who took my pre-order yesterday said she thinks the 24th. Also that overall there are a ton of pre-orders at BBs, but I was #7 at hers.
 
Return the inc on the 14th day (15 day return period) and go to another BB and buy another inc. Return when the TB comes out OR be stuck with it..


I wouldn't have thought of this. If it works then great. If it doesn't then oh well, I tried. Thanks for the tip!
 
Decided to call my BB tonight, me "When do you expect the HTC Thunderbolt to be available" - person on phone in mobile department "Is that with Verizon?"

sigh...
 
No, there couldn't be unless they shipped us new ones yesterday, which they didn't. We're running with the TB in the ad.

Please disregard if this has been asked/answered. If its in the ad on Sunday, then you would have to have it in store to sell on Sunday, correct? Meaning, can they put it in the ad, but not have an in store when people come to purchase?
 
Check out this video from a thread at androidcentral.

This is a video of a video that was put up and went private on Verizon's youtube page.

Another user at androidcentral has the video ripped and is uploading it later, keep an eye on this thread: ThunderBolt promo video - Introducing the HTC Thunderbolt - Page 5 - Android Forums

There is NO WAY that a high quality production ad like this doesn't scream a next week release date.

Ohai, my video.

In the same thread that I posted that shabby video in, the OP was updated to include a 1080p version. His has to be in better looking shape than mine. >.>

Just throwing that out there.

Thanks for the tip! Sometimes I think all the android forums should just combine into a super-forum...
