That's all a load of crap. I've talked to our HTC Rep in person (Bryan Cantu) and he has personally stated that when it releases (cannot say when) it will be at Best Buy and Verizon corporate/preferred retailers on the same day. The delay will be for stores such as Target Wireless, Walmart, Sam's, etc. HTC is not the reason behind the hold-up either. My Rep has specifically stated that Verizon is holding it back due to agreements with "other partners", and as stated in a different thread he let me play with his Thunderbolt. It was working just fine, better than any other HTC in my opinion.
As far as an already rooted phone being released, that as well is not true. We have a full lineup from our March Products and Services conference as to which phones will be coming out for which carriers. It doesn't provide us with release dates, but none of them are rooted and I guarantee none of the carriers will release one that is rooted. It breaks their own terms and conditions as it gives full access to locked services such as hotspot without them paying.

i just found it funny never said i believed it nor did i go in asking about the phone lol
i only went there asking about the data plan , because when i went into the version store to ask ,, the guy was no help at all ,, he was talking about how he rooted his d1 and said he had froyo, i said yea , i have a eris running gingerbread,, when he said gb was old and froyo was the newest , i thought it be best to go ask someone else lol
and as far as that rooted phone,,,, i never said it was being released anytime soon,, he said that one of those companies are working on one

Never trust a Best Buy employee. Best Buy hires 90% retards who don't know their **** from their ass. They are dumb as hell. Don't trust anything they say they will lie to get sales or you to leave them alone. Don't shop there and take your money elsewhere(amazon.com). I hope they go out of business like circuit city and compusa.

This thread is full of fail.
And both Circuit City and CompUSA are still in business. FYI

No they are not. They both went out of business and there are no more B&M stores for either.
Circuit City name and CompUSA name are now owned by TigerDirect and basically you can buy all the same stuff from TigerDirect on either Circuitcity.com, compusa.com or tigerdirect.com
So yes they are "still in business" but its just tigerdirect expanding its business under the name of the 2 companies they bought after they had already went out of business.

300 for a phone built on last years tech...
hrmm
Gonna wait for the new dual cores maybe even the iPhone five. re-evaluate in July and get whats best of the lot. I suppose I will have to live with my Eris for a few more months. While it was a good phone, it is hard to read due to the small screen. I did however get new goggles @ 240 bucks so I could read the phone.
I got several emails from Vzw store noobs wondering when I would be releasing my payment. "before the end of Q2." Between us I had an ink issue which was resolved in a pen update the other day. Don't tell the kids working at the VZW store. I just want the check to be bold, bright, and exceptionally readable when I finally release it.

Wait for the Bionic or get the Thunderbolt? I'll wait and see.
From my EVO with Cyanogen

Of course the ability to load a superior ROM like cyanogen would bear heavily on such a decision considering that the bionic could/would be locked down.

XDA I have news for you!

So I've been tweaking out about this damn phone and finally called Best Buy. I was told very firmly "Pre-orders are being accepted tomorrow (Sunday) for $50, first come first serve, and the phone is scheduled to be released on Valentines Day".
No bull****, I didn't have to play dumb, just simply asked if I could come in and buy the Thunderbolt tomorrow.
So Best Buy is clearly rolling hard on their own with this phone while VZW is hush hush. Clearly it's possible it could be pushed back, but at the very least pre orders will be starting tomorrow. Which is pretty dope.
See y'all at Best Buy.
once pre-orders start at best buy products typicaly launch soon.
also this is old news
I know I know I just feel powerful for calling and getting concrete info

"First come, first serve" - Makes no sense on a pre-order. Your not getting anything tomorrow...they are PRE ordering yours. So, you definitely will get one if you pre-order.
I think they only can receive a certain amount of them so it seems to make sense.

Eh, I'm waiting till Verizon has it, i asked BestBuy if they did 1 year contracts or full retail price if you can't upgrade and the answer to both was nope.
i did confirm though that they do have accessories already on sale, like the ones leaked on AndroidCentral by Platinum Series (aka Seidio)
also, don't go by any handset reviews until after HTC's MWC event, i have a feeling some features are hidden to preview blogs until its announced, namely the Htcsense.com features which are currently not working on preview handsets. Pocketnow seems to be having similiar problems with the Inspire 4G saying that it doesn't have access to download anything from the website hub. i think its because:
1. The website isn't fully launched yet nor does it have either of these phones as supported phones on the website, Yet.
2. HTC is likely to launch the new website on the 13th, the same date as the launch of Inspire and there event at MWC where its likely they'll announce new features for the website too (one can only dream anyway, if you recall the teasers in December early November they were touting regarding music and video support via the cloud, aka Htcsense.com which was later confirmed as an upcoming feature. and with Verizon touting media playback as a feature for LTE handsets, alongside of Netflix and other media features via LTE.
We can only hope that the launch event is soon and that the Thunderbolt gets a proper launch, they screwed up on the Droid Incredible launch and didn't support it at all, so i hope since this being there first 4G phone that we'll see huge support from Verizon and third parties.

thats good to know, although when i even asked them if Verizon will be getting it too or if it'll be an exclusive (just for kicks) they answered "to be honest, i don't know for sure at this point but so far yes its an exclusive" and they also added that "even with Verizon i know that some of there upcoming handsets they won't allow you to get a 1 year contract" lol can you see through that bunch of bull or is there not enough two-ply to wipe it away, i never was a fan of bestbuy's salespeople, they lie through there asses just to get a sale.
does anyone know if you can put down more than $50 towards the purchase if your going to be paying full retail?

Yes but you will be given two giftcards, because the first can only be pre-loaded with 50 dollars with the sku they scan.
Also most all phones can be sold outright. But during a phones initial launch best buy reserves the right to sell phones only to customers do upgrades/new activations. That's why I told people to confirm with the store they bought from as if they can buy it out right.

BestBuy still selling on the 17th!!

The best buy store i pre ordered at said it will still be selling on the 17th!! An they will not be selling in the verizon store same day!!!!
BestBuy has an exclusive on launch date!

Thanks for the tip. Was the screen plastic?
No its Glass! I would never consider a plastic screen.
Sense seemed to fly. best looking phone ive ever played with. But in the end if the 4g is not $30 unlimited like i was told i will be skipping this and getting an iPhone. The only that makes me getting android worth it is unlimited 4g.
I still think iphone is the most complete phone. But i will be getting the thunderbolt just for the 4g.

Good to know its glass. Good sign.
Called the local Best Buy and they are telling me they do not have a release date set. Checked more into verizon and was told that HTC has posted an information block on the phone till march 31st. Found on engadget an article about a picture block and because of posting rules I am not allowed to post the link. Horray for spam control rules.
I am hoping next week would be the time but verizon and Best Buy are reporting that they do not have a release date and that "soon" is all they know. Was told soon for verizon could be a week to 6 weeks.
All speculation, trust no one
Only when there is a public anouncement is when we will truly know

Would be nice if they would give details outside of "we will be selling this phone but, we won't tell you the release date". They should have announced it's release along with the date.

I agree, maybe they are waiting to see if its worth selling the 14th/17th because of a dud in iphone sales
Or is the iphone is a hit (which it is not) then they would post pone the TB
all speculation though
one thing i think is funny that the Verizon Iphone is becoming a dud. most people who wanted a iphone already switched to ATT so whats the big deal about getting wht someone already had for awhile
I think if you're going to offer pre-order(Best Buy), then you'd better have a hard launch date. Offering pre-orders without one is a poor business practice.

I agree. No offense to the OP but we need to stop making these threads. Its just going to be harder to find information in the General thread when the device is released. Having 20 release date threads is kinda pointless.

The iPhone is far from complete friend. It may be pretty and polished... and what it does, it does well, but complete isn't a word I'd use. Imagine using your phone all the time with your app drawer open and no access to your notification bar pull-down... there you go, an iPhone OS...
Guys I just prefer the iphone, but am still getting the thunderbolt because of the 4G.
And also as i stated before the bestbuy store i preordered at had them in stock a whole closet full!!! And will sell to me on that date.

Every single BB employee that has posted on the forums has said none of the stores have gotten any stock in at all yet. Also why in the world would BB release the phone on the 17th? That is a Thursday and no one has ever heard that date mentioned by any of the sources out there. It has always been either the 14th or the 24th, the date makes no sense.
Hmm every BB employee? Wow thats amazing!
Funny in these forums ive posted the STORE LOCATION, CITY AND STATE.

The 17th is only relevant due to Verizons habit of releasing on Thursdays. Highly unlikely that that's the date. IMO if it were the 14th, we clearly would've heard officially about it by now. If it were the 17th, same thing. 24th...well I think we need to heard about it sometime next week, sooner rather than later for that to be plausible. I just don't see it being released without some sort of ad campaign prior. Until I see ad's I am being pessimistic.
You know what im changing my tune , you right. Its not out till its out. Theres no point sweating it. If i get it when i assume im happy if not....oh well.

Theory on the delay

Rumors are that Apple is releasing LightPeak under the name ThunderBolt. Could it be that the phone got delayed to change the name? Apple has done this a few times, where they'll use a conflicting name then throw their weight around to take the trademark.
Haven't seen anybody else make this correlation, so I thought it was worth putting out there.
(Sorry I can't add links, but both AppleInsider [dot] com and MacRumors [dot] com have stories on this)
The thunderbolt is.already trademarked by HTC, check out how its already up on their site
There is no delay, there has to be a release date to be a delay
They also wouldn't make you pre order a month and a half in advance
And they told the world they shipped the phones last week so they are there
Verizon is probably being paid by crapple to shut up about everything but their icrap until their 14 days are up, oddly that's the day the Thunderbolt should be released
Sent from my HTC Incredible using XDA App
If it comes out tomorrow or 28th, I blame apple and none of the other BS rumors. If it comes out in March there might actually be network problems.
It probably is apple because they played the commercials for the phone during the all star game with no date money does make the world go 'round and its not going to have Skype maybe because Skype just got their group calling out of beta so it would be useless for ppl to have a Skype which can't do group calls just a theory
A little inside info from work. 28 is where it got put cause 24th we didn't get shipments ontime so most likly 28th at this point. Rss reflects all bes buy stores in the area like Jersey, Ny, have no shipments and no stock inbound or any TB in stock. so no i can pretty much confirm. 24th is NOT the release date. 28th SHOULD now be. Fun fact, if your in Jersey like I am. Most of the coverage map is empty for jersey so 4G is useless till coverage comes in our area for Verizon.
Don't you guys follow The Panda (Black Man X) on Twitter? He's a VZW insider... works deep in the company.
He's said several times the phone isn't coming until March. The 28th isn't happening. Verizon never releases on any other day than Thursday, either.

Yeah but would they start the "coming soon" commercials on TV this soon? I read yesterday 3/21 for a drop date (but if that's a Monday and they don't do Mondays then ??). I realize the IPhone was hyped up FOREVER before its release, but that was THE IPHONE!! Stop the world, lol, here it comes.
I don't think I've actually ever waited for a phone, usually I just get what's out, so IDK when they start their ads for the next big thing usually.
I think apple is behind the delay on the TB. I was told by a Verizon tech that Apple demanded that V erizon stop the new every two plan if they wanted the iphone.

This is weird I started a thread about how I DONT BELEIVE the delay is about the battery life. But it was takin down....hmmmmm fishy
My reasons are There are commercials, you tube vids, newspaper clippings, web advertisements all over (CNN).... Posters in BestBuy and at the Verizon Stores....
You mean to tell me VERIZON the most stringent tester out of all carriers would showcase the HTC THUNDERBOLT advertise it on there site....without testing the battery??? OH PLEASE.
NO WAY! I would not beleive anything engadget says..... they are in APPLES POCKET!!! I think thats obvious!!!
The delay is to help iphone sales!!
At this point it doesn't matter anymore.
well not that it matters anymore but the thunderbolt has been givin the green ;light to be shipped,,, look for it to be out soon
and the delay yea maybe it had to do with the battery BUTTT i was told from a verizon rep ,,,
alot of the delay was becuz of the IPHONE

The one and only "Rumor" thread

So this forum is getting trashed with many new topics and threads daily because people like posting rumors about the release.
So here's a thread that people can discuss the rumors blah blah
This way xda stays nice and you only have one thread to look at...
I guess you want to believe that everything is sunshine and lollipops with the TB release. I'd say the chances are pretty high that one or more of the "rumors" that you want to dismiss end up being true; I'd just accept that now.
You must be a mod because I can recall you starting a thread about the 14th as a release date?

I'll throw in that I went and asked about the TB at best buy today(where they had a little stand for the TB and a 149.99 sign with one of those alarm straps all set up for the phone) and they said "oh, its already released but we don't have any here, but we're getting a shipment on the 20th of this month, we'll have them then." 20th is a date I hadn't heard before, probably just off the top of her head.

I agree I told my girly on the phone to shut up for a sec as i watched it in awh. lol
I haven't heard any other dates since last week at work except this thurs-fri i haven't been to work in a week but i will tomm. i'll overlook the system tomm. i say if there is stock in the system were a go for this week. if none then no. It weally depends. If it's any help the system told me the Tb price would only be till the 26th of feb so that would mean the 28th would of been launch. with my mobile guys telling me it was bumped to the following thurs or fri i don't remember what they said it makes sense. The 300.00 ad correction makes sense too. why? because almost all phones like the voyager launched at 300.00 as a flagship phone and with a NE2 credit came out to 200.00.

how do you find the rest of the "chapters" it mentions in the end? Was that a TV commercial or something from the HTC website?
Just a update, system is still empty across the coas but we at least have cases. mobile manager rep said its moved to the 10th no further info.
I stopped into my local BB and at least the girl told me they know about as much as we do .... ie, nothing, they are still waiting too.
Here's the link to the actual YouTube feed instead of a video of a video on a cell phone.

I saw it too but its not the one linked above.
This one had the phone shown large, and it looked like pages were being flipped off the face to show the various things it can do. Sort of like its a book.
The above linked video says now... so I guess they wont air that until its actually out.

It's embedded in this page, I've seen the commercial here in the US though.

There is a TBolt ad just about every time you go MSNBC's mobile app.

Rogers Galaxy S II LTE ICS Delayed because of problems

Got in contact with a tech agent from rogers asking for the ICS update and when it would be released and this is the answer it got:
We strive to provide you with the highest level of
customer support, and hope I can be of assistance in addressing your
questions.
Unfortunately, due to some technical reasons, Rogers customers are still
unable to update their devices with new android OS. This issue is being
investigated by one of our speciality group. We are looking forward to
get a positive resolution shortly.

Email received on Monday
Doesn't exactly say its delayed. sounds a bit more of a generic response.
well it is delayed considered it was supposed to be released today (sometime last week)
weaksauce
Maybe someone is just on vacation, who pushes the RED button to release it
"Due to an error in not being able to insert all our bloatware we have delayed releasing it."
Yeah, "technical reasons"... rogers can't find a way past ICS's inate anti virus & anti spam software

sorry but
first off you have to wait for the att/global version to get it.
then two or three months and bloatbloatbloat later you will have your warranty friendly ics.
or you can go to the dev page and as soon as some sauce is out (there are leaks but the still have issues) get it then. your choice.. i just keep an odin tar of i727r around if i need to return it. as long as I don't flash anything dumb like note radios.. again. HA.
Curious as to why you posted this yesterday, if you got this email Monday? Why would you withhold that information from us for such a long period of time?

LOL... I hear you Uhhdoug... I actually used my tar last night after I bricked my phone testing a buggy rom... (not the one in my signature)
That tar is now a good friend.
Sooner or later we have to get an official release... then our Dev's will have the tools to create more stable releases.

Am I the only one who read the part where Samsung said that ICS was going to be released for select devices starting today with the rest of the devices mentioned over the rest of the quarter?
That means that they have until the end of July to release it.

Probably not, but do you know of ANY devices that have received the update?

either or, no devices had ICS that day so that would be invalid information

Wow I thought the French where nicer then that. It was a joke, no need to get your panties in a bunch over it. Guess what? I have a wife, three kids, a house and a minivan. Who the eff cares.
I'm amazed at the amount of thought you put into that post. Definately made my day!

I do stand up. Thanks for noticing and glad I made you laugh. Try to keep your eyes on the road though, I know how good the drivers are in Montreal.
