Thunderbolt RELEASE!!!

[B33]

A New issue with the Thunderbolt will probably keep it from coming out for a while. HTC is having a issue with the Battery its only lasting from 3 to 4 Hours whille using the 4G Radio an they have'nt came up with a Solution to fix this as of Yet this is a great looking phone too.  but if the issues are'nt solved it dont look to good for Her. Here's a link you can go to find more info on the Thunderbolt. And Hopefully they can get the battery issue Resolved.!

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"!!!

HTC = Has Thunderbolt Come?

Funny... I keep seeing TV ads for the Thunderbolt now on a regular basis.

I just hope that they stick to a date soon.

You can't necesssarily take that gizmocrunch as gospel.  Heck, I could type one up that looked like this.

"Me (7:04 PM): What's up? Not happening today?

Source (9:51 PM): Things are being finalized. But we're still waiting for HTC to get the phones to us.... They're claiming something about battery issues and programming problems.

Me (10:00 PM): Sounds like hell. March 10 still?

Source (10:10 PM): 10th is right. At least that's what they're saying. Just got off a conference call with [Some partner] things are getting chippy around here. Someone's more impatient than you ó We heard Verizon threatened to pull the phone if completely if they don't get something firm before Saturday

Me (10:14 PM): Holy ****. Think it'll be announced soon then?

Source (10:27 PM): I hope so I don't need that ****"

I know what you are saying, but that's only one of the sites that I have read with the same information.......if VZN is really sitting on them as a marketing ploy, that's just wrong...especially for those of us WAITING patiently for a new phone because our old one is a dinasaur.

I realize there will always be those that have to have the newest items first.  Too much hype is getting a bit redundant and there will be those like me that will not think the wait is worth it.   Also, in the mean time all the negative publicity is beating out the good.  This is not working well, that won't be included, really has to make you think.  Especially if it is a ploy by management.
