Has anyone had any success in fixing the known echo and auto shut downs with the LG Octane?  The staff in the local Verizon store were less than helpful...we are now on Octane #3 and Verizon will not stand behind the lousey phones they sell and allow us to select a different phone without paying for it...lousy customer service..not sure why they would continue to sell a phone that does not meet expectations.  Thanks.

I'm not sure why people complain. As long as your current device gets the job done then sush and be patient.  VZW will release the devices or give info on them when they want too. No amount of threats of jumping to another carrier will make that change. But I do share other peoples curoristy for the what the devices will be like.

You guys make me think of something my mother used to say in a situation like this.......

 

"Boys, now play nice with each other."

 

"Isn't fun the best thing to have?"  Quote from Arthur from the movie by the same name.

Au contre mon frere!     Threatening to jump, actually jumping, and encouraging everyone to join you in the jump...

 

Is Exactly what causes Verizon to do right by their customers.

Point is you're not going to get enough churn to actually hit Verizon's wallet just from them not releasing a phone that they never officially announced a release date before.  If it weren't for all the blogs trying to be the first one to figure out the date, everyone would have been content with the "as soon as march" announcement at CES.

Moved my comment to this thread...seems more on track

 

I've been so "Naive"!!! This has to be just an advertising gimmick!!! I've caught myself talking to family and friends and colleagues about how this new "HTC Thunderbolt" release keeps moving back. And they're like "I didn't even know it was coming out".

 

Here's my vision of the ploy. (The big cheeses @ verizon...sitting around a conference table with their lap-tops....reading the forums, blogs and various techno sites...laughing hysterically...saying "look at all these little people...crying and whining...doing all the advertising for us....we don't even need our Marketing Strategist!!!  Fire 'em!!!)

 

Ok....I have to admit...too much time on my hands for my simpleton little brain...

 

It just seems so "de-ja-vue-ee" to me of when I was waiting on the "Omnia II"...like so many other's....yes...you know who I am talking about!!! lol.  I've been ready for a new phone the day I got this turd...pew!  But it was all Hype'd Up...anticipation is a crazy thing!!!

 

well...the "Thunder is getting closer...one-thousand one....one-thousand two...BOOM!

Just like one of my fav songs people..."Thunder-Rolls". I will get the new T-bolt when it comes out...until then...

 

Hey y'all...let's se who can come up with a clever catch-phrase for the acronym  "HTC"!!!

With the problems Verizon is having with their 4G network, I think it's almost certain, that is the reason for the delay. Regardless, why do people get so upset over such a meaningless thing? This country is rapidly decaying away to nothing.
