Just wishful thinking - i feel like i deserve it more than anyone else (other than all you guys of course) after all the forums, articles, and other BS I have read and stressed about. I know you guys are going through the same thing, but I would hate it if some idiot who found out about the phone watching some lame tv show last night showed up before me and took the last one.....

Tip: Get a good night sleep the night before launch, wake up early and put your good running shoes on and maybe bring the boxing gloves, drive straight to the closest VZW store and either be the first in line or fight your way to the front. :D

(verizon) sounded pretty certain that it wouldn't be tomorrow. In fact, they think the phone might sit for a while longer, and surprisingly enough it might be the iPhone's fault.

What I think is hilarious about the Apple conspiracy theory is that as long as Verizon delays the Thunderbolt, they're delaying at least one iPhone purchase, too: my wife's. We're off-contract from T-Mobile and don't want to louse up switching to Verizon.

I realize one sale is nothing in the grand scheme of things, but we can't be the only people in that position.

Go to an AT&T store and play with an Inspire. Different phones, but they look almost the same. Same Sense, screen, ram, chip, back camera, etc.

I went to an AT&T store, and played with the Atrix and the Inspire. I wasn't impressed with the Atrix. But then, they didn't have a dock set up to play with. The Inspire made me excited about the new version of Sense.

Ha ha, nice, except instead of boxing gloves I might have to use the baseball bat after the amount frustration I've gone through
 
Regardless of the release just think how much money BB had made from everyone who has pre-ordered. Think of all the interest that BB is making off of everyones deposit.
 
All of the BB here in AZ are saying the 28th. Maybe you all should show up at one store at the same time lol. That way they will be pressured and just say F it sell em the phones lol
 
Personally I don't think we're going to see it until at least Monday. At this point I am wondering if I just stick with my iPhone 4 and call it a day lol :P - I was thinking of getting a Xoom so maybe just get a Xoom and keep iPhone 4 :D? lol

I already have my appointment set for the 28th but I called to double check and my store I preordered from again said that it is the 28th. Again, grain of salt here lol
 
Just called the Pasadena, CA best buy the one I pre ordered at and he told me the 26th is when there getting them in, im pretty sure the 26th all of us that pre ordered will be able to pick them up and the 28th is when it will be available to the rest, the guy sounded 100% positive thats when they were getting them.. but we have all heard this story before... oh and I am first in line =)

I'm in Prescott, AZ and yesterday, the girl here told me the 24th. Of course when she tried to show me the thing in her system confirming that, she could no longer find it. Go figure right?

Wouldn't it be funny if Verizon Announces the date tomorrow morning (Since they will be out of iPhone shadow)?
Click to expand...

I am a strong believer of this. They couldnt give us a date or release it until after the 14 day thing, but they want release it ASAP and to advertise it as much as they can before hand (hence the plethora of ads with no dates). It also explains why they have been so strict about not releasing a date. (why did the BB tweet about the 24th get deleted when the others didnt). The only problem with my theory here that I see is that there were alot of VZW employees saying the 24th, but then again, we dont know if they got that from corporate or not.
 
I just spoke with a fine gentlemen at the 44th and 5th ave Best Buy and he said they will have it out tomorrow morning 2/24.... I then walked over to the Verizon store on 42nd and asked when the Thunderbolt would arrive... I had three sales people look at me as if I asked when they were releasing the cure for cancer!!! One salesman actually said.. never heard of it, you sure it is not an AT&T phone? I sighed and walked out.
 
This has probably been reported, but my bb called me a bit ago with an update dor my preorder. He said the got an email that said that it would not be in tomorrow, and that it didn't specify when it would. He said they think early march. Take it for what its worth.

After all of the posts, I called and was told early March. BB In Beavercreek, OH. Thought I saw someone else on here that ordered theirs from them as well. Mimi something or other. Anyway, I REALLY hope they just have to say that. lol
