Thunderbolt @ Best Buy for $299. Just saw it in today's flyer. It states retail exclusive.

This is useless information unless you walked into Best Buy and purchased one.
I have to wait 2.5 hours until the stores open in LA. Will post the availability later today.

It has been in the BB paper for the past two weeks as well. Ads mean nothing.
Same 'ol same 'ol no stock and no known date. May wait for the Bionic instead.

If you look at the details of the ad it clearly states "coming soon"
I also agree, at this point might as well wait for the bionic. The bionic release version will be fully optimized. I know it has been mentioned before that the TB scored better in bench marks but that was against a bionic with android that was not optimized for the tegra. I want to see the benchmarks on the retail products.
its gonna be a win win for consumers either way, not including tiered data.
Actually, on page 8 of their in store ad in fine print it says available in New Jersey.

That helps me. Im in NJ
I was very excited about the Atrix and preordered the phone only to cancel a couple of days later and I'm glad I did after I saw what kind of network speeds they were getting. I've decided I will not pre-order anything on a new network anymore. I'll let you other guys test the waters. I'd rather have an idea of what I'm getting and how much it's going to cost before hand, rather than making a lot of changes only to have to return something. Plus my Evo is getting better and better with Cyanogen anyway. I want to see what 4G will cost, what kind of data speeds Verizon will give the phones plus I have a couple of questions about the Thunderbolt itself, starting with the battery.

Likely same at Best Buy and Verizon. And Amazon and other online sellers will have it the same day, I imagine for $100 less or so as they do with other phones. I dont think the phone is much better than the Inspire 4G on ATT which sells for $99. So anything over 199 is too much for th TB I think.
Best Buy only has a retail store exclusive, not complete.
Getting my infuse in the morning why isn't their a forum yet?
Maybe because the official release date is the 15th? So just maybe the mods will hold back until then?

They normally set up the forum ahead of launch.
Sent from my HTC Desire HD using XDA Premium App
sure do.. there is a forum already for the optimus 3d and its been up for over a month.. and that phone doesnt even have a release date yet!!.. seriously can we get a infuse 4g forum up.. im planning on getting the phone on launch day!!
I wouldn't say it's being blackballed but........the SGSII, Atrix, and others had forums months before their actual launches. There has been plenty of mention of the Infuse in other forums to warrant its own, but for some reason the Moderator is holding off despite several requests/suggestions from others in addition to my own.
I'm hoping to see a dedicated forum up soon as well. Lack of xda dev support is my only real concern with this phone.
And speaking of dev support, I wondering what the unlocking situation will be. I have to comit to having someone buy it for me on Sunday as I am currently living out of the US. I hope I don't purchase it to later find out that there will be problems unlocking it. Although from what I hear, Samsung is pretty good about this stuff.
On another note, many of us are still wondering what the off contract price will be. Nothing seems to be set in stone just yet, but people seem to be assuming around $499.
Costco not selling Infuse until Sunday 5/15 even though coupon for $30 off is dated 5/12-6/5.

What's your source on that? Does Costco only sell to you thru contract or will they do it full price.

Questioned kiosk manager due to discrepancy of dates . They got memo clarifying. Believe they will sell at full retail, but no phone leaves building without being activated. Costco ultra conservative and won't jeopardize any business relationships.

went into a local at&t store today to get a sim card and asked about the infuse.. they had the phone there in stock and said it would be $599 off contract!! .. im hoping that it is not true and its only around $499 but that is what i was told from the at&t store... just sharing..

I know.... no forum for the Infuse sucks. I've been on some other forums and we're all hoping its $499 off contract. I'm trading in my Atrix on friday for this one and hopefully I can squeeze them to let me out with one early.

Thunderbolt lovers get ready for big brother. Last topic I start was during rumor now the pictures have been released and the release date still looking like October. I can only hope the thunderbolt great developers follow up their work to this upcoming great phone. I plan on turning my thunderbolt into a testing phone once I upgrade and maybe doing a little coding myself. Just thought I would keep everyone updated on the newest upcoming 4GLTE HTC phone.

I am sure if you wheel and deal with verizon they will give you a deal on the phone in the past I paid an extra 50 bucks on top of the 2 year upgrade price to get one a year early. That is how I got out of the incredible after only a year to get a thunderbolt. And i already have an upgrade price waiting for my next phone.

U paid only $50 for an early upgrade? The guy charged me $250 for an early upgrade from dinc to TB, anyway I'm leaning towards getting this phone, does have some crazy specs and looks a little like the dinc, TB is great but seems like it can improved a little more giving that's it the first lte device.

I have been with verizon over 10 years and neither mom, dad, wife, or myself have ever purchased a phone for full price. And i have never kept a phone over a year. I just call in tell them I want to buy a phone and say I know my contract is not up but I wanted to know if i can get a loyality credit toward a new phone. And there you have it pay like $50 bucks to move contract up but you have to buy the phone right there and then. And some of the reps are lazy they won't do this for you just call back and you will find one that likes their job. My lastest upgrade came for free a few months after the thunderbolt came out I was having reboot issues on nonrooted phone took it into store can't be fixed, I was having dropped data for days at a time, needless to say didn't want a replacement thunderbolt so i got a free upgrade to new phone at 2 year price, then I rooted my phone and it fixed all my problems.

I don't pay full retail either but I have paid early upgrade fees. I don't think I'm going this route again. Technology moves too fast to play catch up all the time. The Nexus Prime may change my mind but we'll see.

I've always had two year contracts

Yeah, and they allowed yearly upgrades. I am saying, they don't do that anymore.
Don't believe me? Go try it.
Yeah, they eliminated those shortly after they came out with the thunderbolt, sadly
I agree with the author of the article, it looks EXACTLY like the Incredible. Specs sound quite pleasing though.

Long story short: broke my Sidekick, need a new phone.
the only phones I'm interested in is another Sidekick ($380), or a mytouch 4g slide (at least $500). problem is, even though my contract has run only a few months, it's actually cheaper to pay the cancellation fee (max $200) and switch to another provider than to buy a new phone unsubsidized, which afaik, is all t-mobile will allow. (kind of a screwed up business model, huh?)
so since its almost black friday in 6 hours or so,, does anyone know of a good sale on either Mytouch 4g slide, or even the Sidekick?
May want to check t mobiles website. You can always buy a refurbished phone as well.

You would probably be better off buying the phone off ebay or Amazon, because they're a lot cheaper than buying them from TMobile

thanks for the suggestions guys, but the only good deal I found at all was for the Samsung Transform Ultra, on Boost Mobile. so I went for that, I think I'll be pretty happy to finally have real stock android rather than a Sense/Touchwiz infection.
I did look for deals on tmobile phones, but they were all for new contracts and upgrades ONLY. I even got on the customer service line twice and explained to them that 1. I could not keep using the broken phone, and 2. the ONLY adequate replacements are twice the cost of cancelling; they did not seem to have a contingency for this. oh well, their loss. my new phone, of course, will have a protection plan, but still, Tmobile really should rethink their replacement system.

It's called $7 insurance, i have it i have replaced 5 G2's, 2 MyTouch 4G, and MyTouch 4G Slide is what im on now courtesy of them cancelling the G2, then they replaced it with a MyTouch 4G, then the MT4GS
I guess im treated well, maybe its luck, but im sorry you couldn't get a good deal on a phone. Enjoy your Samsung

Just sell your cell phone contract to a third party.
well now that i'm on Boost, I've been noticing that If I started a new contract with Tmobile under the current black friday weekend deals, I could get this or several other phones free and then actually recoup some of the money I just spent, provided I return the Boost phone I just bought. so:
in general, how good is this phone? I noticed it seemed smooth and lagless in store, but of course that's just a store model without a bunch of additional apps from the market. I'm mostly wondering if Sense causes problems at all regarding compatibility with any apps, or stability problems that wouldn't be expected to happen on a stock 2.3 rom. I have a stock 2.3 phone now, so that could be a risky change; however, this phone I have is only $230 new, single core, and is known for a screen sensitivity problem that may get worse on my handset, but may not.
also, could I expect any problems or side effects from rooting? one of my goals in that, if I get the MT4GS, will be to quickly turn the "genius" button into a search button. that cause problems for anyone? I did the same thing on the Sidekick, and sometimes it worked, sometimes not. but it may have just been that particular phone.

Does anyone know when the HTC One X will be released for AT&T? Are the rumors for the chip production delay true??
Edit: May 6th is the confirmed date.
28nm high power processes are definitely down. The low power process may not be, we're not sure.
I thought AT&T is getting One X not XL...
I thought they were all the same phones anyway. Aside from the chip and the Storage.
I think we're expecting a summer release, not april.

Didn't HTC originally announce that this phone would be on sale within 60 days (from when they announced it) ?
Just to help clear up any confusion for anyone who didn't know this already,
The One X is the quad core version. The quad core processor is incompatible with LTE (being released as an ATT exclusive means that att will likely only carry the XL)
The One XL has the dual core because the dual core processor IS compatible with LTE . Also, from what I've heard, the dual core might actually be a better processor than the quad core anyway.
I think you guys already knew most of that though
@shorty
yes, you are correct. The projected window is within 60 days of announcement.
The phone has already passed through FCC, it's on it's way.
cant decide is i should switch to att. sprint 3g service is eh, sad that sprints lte rollout doesnt include los angeles ;(...... decisions decisions
I am really hoping a release date is announced soon. I went out and got a skyrocket under upgrade and now I want to return it (within my 30 days) so that I can pick up this phone. It all depends on the release date though. If it ends up being summer then I'm not gonna wait that long.
A general estimate is about late April to early May for the release.
My guess is since the rest of the word starts to sell these on April 5th and Sprint/HTC is holding an even April 4th... we will hear about a release in the next week or two about when AT&T will release it.
april 12th http://www.releasedates.co/product/htc-edge-release-date
I'd take that sites info with a grain of salt most definitely. I don't see it being legit. I hope so though.
It's definitely not legit. Look at how much storage it says it has. 32GB? Now, we know the AT&T version will only have 16GB of storage.
