Best Buy Details

Interestingly enough, I just got the same email an hour or two ago. Funny thing tho, I returned my Pre-Order gift card because I was annoyed about everything (they totally f'd up my return, and couldn't process it correctly, so I wonder if that is why I still have one "reserved"). I wonder if they will honor my pre-order without a gift card and receipt.

It does not matter what you do with the gift card, you can return it and you can use it. You preorder will still be there, unless you walk in the store and tell them you would like to cancel your preorder. Gift card in no way is linked to your preorder. They take your money and give you a gift card.

You dont have to have the receipt to get the preorder. You just need your id and phone number you reserved it under I believe.
 
:confused: WTF does that mean?? Was it a memo from Steve Jobs or something? Geez. I'm sorry, but I'm not sure I'll ever get into all this hidden meaning/coded clue speak. I feel like Indiana frickin Jones with all this BS!

I saw it much more simple than that. I took it to mean that they HAD to crop it to protect the source. It might have had a name or email address on it...
 
Just adding to the pile of confirmations - I got my e-mail from Best Buy a short while ago...so when I finally resign myself to not caring again..the pot gets all stirred up!

Question for you Jay - If you have pre-ordered at a Best Buy, are they able to "switch" that pre-order to a different store (locally)? Or is that just a whole mess that I shouldn't attempt...? ;)

your stuck with the store you preordered in
 
Check out the HTC fb page. 15 minutes ago they posted this:
"There is a lot of excitement about the first Verizon LTE device, the HTC ThunderBolt. HTC and Verizon will officially and publicly announce the Thunderbolt launch dates soon. Please stay tuned for the debut of this great new device."

I know this doesn't get us a date, but it sounds promising to me!

I can't believe how often they've used the word "soon"....

Thanks for your excitement! HTC and Verizon will officially announce the Thunderbolt launch dates soon. HTC | Facebook
 
I know we are all tired of the word "soon" but I take this as a step in the right direction. It is an actual public statement made by one of the parties involved. Looking good for the 17th in my opinion.
 
Wel Ben5 just said over on ac that the 17th is still on track which if its still on track then it is the date. They would have to be shipping them out either Friday or Saturday so that stores have them on Monday or Tuesday. And I wonder if bb will have it on the 16th or something since htc said "dates" in there post
 
Just to point another thing out if they have enough in stock for'pre'orders they really don't check id when I went to grab my xoom they didnt even look at my I'd or receipt
