HTC Thunderbolt: no updates to report. We'll share what's real, when it's real, directly. Here.

I like how they take a shot at basically the speculation over when it will launch. Do they expect everyone to just sit by the computer doing anything but (god forbid) reading up on leaks & speculation, until they grace us with their real info? To me it's a lil ironic that a communications company can't (or won't) communicate with their customers. It doesn't matter if it's phone releases, updates, or changes that affect plans or pricing.

When I called in to ask about what the magic number was for when they start throttling, at first she had no info, then said it will be dependent on the network conditions at any given time. Then she said "We always let our customers know when we make changes." I don't know about you, but the only places I have ever found out about changes Verizon is making is on tech blogs & forums, including after they're implemented. Usually any changes they have made are buried on Verizon Wireless' website and it takes a lot of digging to find it.

Hard to understand this approach by Verizon. Looks to me like they think they're being cute - as part of a suspenseful, sophisticated marketing campaign. But it's really getting annoying.
 
it really doesnt matter, its not like you will miss the launch anyway. most people are getting the phone not matter what. VZW will come forward with full details eventually

Sooo all these delay talk for thunderbolt.. as u see I keep saying they pushed it up.. maybe my posted date was right? Can't rush tech lmao
 
Now why would he put the Fascinate over the TB during the boot animation? Ugh. And if he said "here is the htc thunderbolt" one more time I would have screamed!
But thanks anyway, your intentions were noble.
 
Yeah the guy doing the unboxing wasn't up to par to say the least .

" I wasn't sure if there was going to be a kickstand"

And putting the Fascinate over the front of it was weak along with the phrase " the Famous Galaxy S " haha
 
Merged because GoBlue already posted the video here. If anyone has an issue with this? PM him. ;) :p
 
Just Called my local VZW store to try to get a pre order dat, of course the rep said they have No idea when it will launch (what THunderbolt?) but i drilled for his prediction and he said it would probably be after the iphone, and he thought it wouldent release till March. IMHO I don't trust one word of this. :P
