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

Nevermind.... I can't bill the upgrade phone to verizon. I am looking to get two of them one for me and my girlfriend.
So hopefully I can get it from verizon without it being sold out.
You can't preorder if its an upgrade????

yea if you buy it at best buy you pay the price of the phone to best buy
nice news lmao
"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.

first come first serve as in pre-orders get priority in getting the phone, and they won't hold a pre-order sale for you
I pre ordered and no one had even tried when I got there. Literally the first on to pre order :-D

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.

Same here. Actually, I was the one that made them aware that the TB was going on pre-sale to day. They said they were so busy getting the iphone ready that they had no clue the TB was going on pre-sale. HA!

Every phone at BB can be purchased outright without a contract. Don't let a misinformed salesperson tell you otherwise.

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.
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!
This from the Verizon Rep at BestBuy this morning just a few minutes ago. Agao the tore i went to hd them in stock!!!! I played with one.

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.
Oh great more rumors about launch dates...

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.
Wait till its released, the development section is going to be flooded with requests for roms

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.
But i guess your right.

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.
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.

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.

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.

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.

Or that is just what this phone costs. People said the same thing as you about ATT pricing.
Thought I had replied to this thread. Weird.
Any way, Best Buy is sometimes known to throw a page up with an inflated price until they get the official price for it. I'm hoping that's the case this time too. Especially since Sprint doesn't even have a page for this phone that I can find let alone a price.
Otherwise, $900 is way too much for this phone and I won't be getting it. Even $800 is a bit much.

Yeah I think they did this with the LG G5 too before that was released earlier this year. Also, Sprint is going to be doing a promotion where you can trade in any smartphone with mopre than 10$ in trade in value for 200$ in credit, although that might only be for if you get the phone in an easy pay or lease option and not a full buyout thing.
I am waiting on T-Mobile for their page to go live for pre-order. If the price is that same as on the other carriers, I will have to stick with my V10 or try out the Axon 7 til the price drops below $650.
Also, if the carrier doesn't offer the B&O headphones ... I will have to pass.

It is already confirmed that LG is offering pre-orders in the US a pair of the H3's. As far as I can tell, they haven't really excluded any major carriers on the offer. Not sure if those who don't pre-order will get them or not. I assume "quantities are limited". So you either have to bite the bullet and get in on the pre-order if the headphones are important to you or wait for the price to drop and forgo them if price is more important. Hopefully the price won't be so bad though. I have heard Tmo pre-orders could open on the 12th (already passed though), 14th, 17th or 20th.

Given QA/QC problems of the past for LG, and the MSRP...I don't think they plan on worrying about selling many.
hahaha dude, why are you here? I legit want to know. you're just negative and a buzz kill to everybody who's interested in this phone. you're not buying it? great! we won't have to see topics of your complaining. why not just go find another forum here for whatever magical phone you want to buy instead of the v20 already? I just don't understand you.

Well, we don't have an actual MSRP from any other carrier yet besides AT&T. There's still a slight chance that the other carriers could undercut AT&T. Hopefully. The only place I hear about QA/QC problems with LG is in hardcore Android forums and it only really seems to be a few very vocal people. Certainly, I'll keep my eyes open but I'm willing to ride the odds in favor of no issues. But if Sprint can't put the phone in with the rest of their phones when they have the iPhone plastered everywhere on their site, they'll never sell it then wonder why. Then again, having met the Sprint CEO in the very bar I'm sitting in right now, I'm not surprised. Doesn't seem any carrier is really trying all that hard though. AT&T has their demo model off in another corner away from the other LG phones in the stores I visited. T-Mobile has it listed on their site with the other LG phones but that's about all of the exposure it gets from them at the moment. The reps are definitely psyched for this phone though.

Actually, the Best Buy site now shows 24 months for $30 which is $720. It also shows free BO headphones and a $200 BB gift card for any qualifying, working, non screen damaged phone.
