Best Buy Details

[digdug1]

i dont even take that with a grain of salt.

 

[AustinTech]

Have you guys confirmed the price yet? Is it $249 or $299? Do we know?

 

[gobluejd]

Commercials are playing way too much for it to be too far off.

 

[jayishere]

$249.99

 

[Drew66]

If BB sells it this week, $249 in San Diego anyway. After the ad expires? Who knows.

 

[jayishere]

what poem is he talking about?

 

[digdug1]

^^ the only thing keeping my hopes up at this point

 

[jayishere]

I guess we'll know tomorrow if that's true

 

[digdug1]

one of our members took the pic but i cant remember who.

 

[gobluejd]

what poem is he talking about?

For the Android Heads.. a wee bit of poem… | Rants, Opinions and the confessions of a Tech addict…

Or:

when the color green is all you see

and they speak of pots of gold,

perhaps in the lingering cold

you may yet, hear the thunder roll,

for despite the clamor and Jobs much hyped antenna ..

there are other treasures to behold.

For if you wait but a scant

till after the passover event

you may find dual core gold

Can I remind everyone freaking out about the phone not releasing until March, that March is actually only a week away?

[gobluejd]

that seems like a poem for the bionic...

Read it again, it is about BOTH.

St. Patricks day'ish for Bolt and Easter for Bionic.

 

[ska.t73]

that seems like a poem for the bionic...

The thunder rolls part and hint at St. Patrick's Day is about the Thunderbolt. The part about Easter and the dual gold is about the Bionic.

yeah I read it again. I don't think we're waiting until 3-17 for the phone though.

Either do I. If you follow him or his blog he indicates that was the original drop time. But VZW trying to get out quicker. He is one of the last testers.

...i just spent the last 20 minutes catching up on what i missed since earlier this evening...
going from:

YES! IT'S SOON!
to
WTF IT'S DELAYED?1
to
PHOTO EVIDENCE!
seems like this is a vicious cycle every few pages.
"delayed...friend of a friend said it's...they're in stock!...verizon sucks...delayed...in stock!"

btw: whoever posted the FerrisBueler quote is awesome

i bet that BestBuy employee who swore that the phones were in stock & under the cabinet had a bet with someone that he could make it on this forum & he's laughing at us in our misery

I hope not

For what it's worth, I called two Verizon corporate stores here in Atlanta today. Both told me that they do not know when the t-bolt will be released, but one store told me they expect their working demo on the 23rd or 24th. The other store told me they expect it "very soon." I asked what "very soon" means, as in two weeks or one week - the lady replied, "very soon, maybe even this week."

The BB where I pre-ordered said they have no idea when the phone will launch, but that was just a regular employee - a hottie at that. Very cute.

I don't find the waiting the worst part of this debacle - instead it's not knowing if the phone will be functional as advertised. Will Skype work? If not, I'll save my money and get the Inspire. I want Skype so I can video chat with my kids when I'm on the road for work.

There are TONS of women on the internet, but very few ladies.

In all of this jumble of rumors and speculations, that is absolute fact.

I personally don't either, I think he was just trying to creatively say that the Thunderbolt would be released in March and the Bionic would be released in April, AFTER the iPhone hype. (I love that part)...

And again March is only a week away.

I think the 28th, 3rd, and 10th are all possible release dates.

Agreed, I'm leaning more towards the 3rd right now.

 

[jayishere]
