Hey, come on! The empty post contains exactly the same amount of useful, accurate information on the Thunderbolt release as any other post on this topic on the internet! (And is much quicker to read and digest). Now, why it belongs in the iPhone forum is another question, but be appreciative.
BTW: for those lucky enough NOT to be following this discussion! On just one site (droidforums.net) you can find
" When Will the ThunderBolt Be Available for Purchase" with 1,478 posts, HTC Thunderbolt Release Date, with 4,609 posts and NEW: When Will the ThunderBolt be Available for Purchase? with 1,602 posts.
All of them give dates that the poster was told be a reliable source (someone in a Verizon store, a pal at HTC, that guy at Best Buy, something they saw on a forum that they cannot remember etc), followed by others giving different dates. And those are just the major threads on this topic on one forum.....It was certainly going to come out Jan 31, Feb 4, Feb 10, Feb 24, Feb 28, Mar 4, Mar 10 and now Mar 17.

OK, horrible stuff. I printed out Azsaluki's post, and went to my local Verizon Wireless store. I said, very politely, that I wanted to purchase the HTC Thunderbolt. The rep looked a little surprised, and said "I'm sorry sir, it isn't available yet, and we don't know exactly when we will get it." I smiled, OK, leered, pulled out the the print-out and said "Aha, what about this then? Give me my Thunderbolt!!!!"
After a minute or so, the rep said: "Sir, there is no Feb 29th this year."
So, not content with mandatory data plans, undeletable bloatware on phones, not giving iPhone discounts to people one month into another contract, Verizon has STOLEN a whole day this year to have an excuse for a delayed launch of the Thunderbolt! I'm going to AT&T as they have a Feb 29th every year, and that's Customer Service!

Ahh, so what, I had my fun with it....

I gotta admit, I follow that site, as well as Droid-Life and, I hate to admit, Boy Genius, and that keeps popping up, along with the anger and wailing and knashing of teeth over its non-appearance.
All of them give dates that the poster was told be a reliable source (someone in a Verizon store, a pal at HTC, that guy at Best Buy, something they saw on a forum that they cannot remember etc), followed by others giving different dates.

And it's astounding that they are all getting unbelieveably torqued at Verizon for RUMORS that Verizon didn't even start. I am at a loss of words over that one (as well as waiting for the Droid X2 or the Bionic!).

while i do agree with what you are saying....don't you think that by running a vzn commercial and an htc commercial for it on tv every night, along with nearly full page ads in the sunday best buy ad, they are at the very least, contributing to the rumors? i know they've never made an announcement and that at the CES they actually said this summer....but why all the marketing now? heck, best buy will even take your money as a deposit.....for a phone coming out in 4 months? seems absurd.
and why haven't the mods moved this thread yet? lol

They actually said "as early as March" at CES. And I'm not believing the June date as he never specificially mentioned it as anything other than saying "they're still on track for the first half of 2011". Even if they released it now, that'd be true.

Ahh, I haven't see those commercials yet. Sure, it's contributing to the rumors. I keep seeing the *rumors* about battery troubles. Maybe there is something to them. I can't see why the T-Bolt isn't out unless that were the case.
I'll turn a little TV tonight and see if those commercials runs. Gosh knows, I've seen plenty ads about the Verizon iPhone and the Moto Xoom. Seems like there have been some Samsung Galaxy Tab ads, too.

I have gone into several local VZW store over the past month. ALL have told me the same thing. It will be out VERY soon. In the interim I am stuck with a 4 year old POC because my env3, as well as my wife's and daughter's env3 keep shutting off. My annoyance is that I was going to get the Incredible, wasadvised over a month ago to wait by sales person as the TB is coming in days. I guess that is true, after all there are 365 days in a year. Even if VZ did not officially announce a date, they should step up and do so to stopp all this **bleep**. They have had commercials saying coming soon, then the one that followed that saying "available only at Verizon." Yes it's only a phone, but phones, like it or not, have become integral in our daily life. When the very employees of a company keep saying any day and the company has commercials flaunting the greatness of these phone, how can any1 fault the end user, you know the guy paying the bill, for getting annoyed when there seems to be no end in sight? I would not be surprised ig LG beats HTC to the LTE market at VZW.

And Gerio check out your posts in this thread with the mobile view of the forum from your phone. The smiley face symbols aren't there, but the description of the smiley is RED. Just like you wanted.

I'm most definitely NOT a VZW employee. If a post answered your question, please mark it as the answer.

It makes the red-letter response-fest more meaningful.
Well, to me, anyway..
