I really appreciate all the work the devs here put into this device. Without you this would have been an instant return. That being said I can't let myself gamble beyond the 30 day return window with $400. My loss is your gain however as there is now a freshly clearanced gtablet at the Sears store in Chillicothe Ohio. Get it while its hot! I will continue to monitor this forum and I hope one day to see the source code get released for this device as it has a lot of potential. Best of luck to everyone and thank you devs.

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

I agree with you on the multiple threads , but I doubt if anyone will be in the dark the day the phone is released.

No flames for this comment yet?!?!
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.

There ya go.
Now to decide on if I'm doing this or going to a bar every weekend...
As of right now its only for galaxy tabs and Xoom.
makes no sense to me with the same innards but who knows these days
im 100% confident that as soon as it shows up on the galaxy and xoom' the developers will port it over with ease. They have done amazing things with the transformer
Make sure you look closer to the details. You have to have the sunday ticket package which for 1 complete season is 334.95 and then pay 49.95 on top of that to get the extra features. I like football but omg that overpriced.

I did look at the details, that why i slimply said it was expensive instead of typing all of it out.
It s the same price direct tv people pay.
Im just going to use my friend account and shoot him 50 bucks for the sunday ticket to go option....woot!

My question is two fold. G2X owners using rooted devices still cannot access HBO go. So how would accessing Sunday Ticket be any different on our rooted devices? I can access HBO go without root, but cannot on my rooted phone.

I wish there was a way to use Sunday Ticket To Go on more than 1 mobile device... my friend got sunday ticket and i was going to pay him for to go but he wants to use it too. trying to find work around...
If you have NFL Sunday ticket already with Direct tv all you need to do is pay 10 buck more a months to get it for tablet, ps3 and phone.
I have all of them and I must say the tablet version is really good. I cant wait for the season to start this weekend! Also it contains all the stats and info on players while the game is going on...
I still don't get how the ps3 is gonna work. Cant I take this to someones house who doesn't have NFL Sunday ticket and and watch all the games? I mean this seems like a good deal for me, but not for DIRECTV.
5 payments of $60 no thanks!

Let me start off by stating that XDA and all the moderators and users have created something absolutely amazing. This site has allowed and taught me to turn just my cell phone into something awesome and personalized. I'm lovin what you guys are doing so keep up the good work for sure.
The first smartphone I got was the Evo Shift, and fell in love immediately. I very soon after discovered XDA and started rooting and flashing away. I helped a few friends out rooting their phones, but I just felt like the Shift was far better and faster.
I used the phone for around 6 months or so. Unfortunately that's where my happiness ended. My girlfriend decided to snatch it out of my hands one night, and i guess decided that I no longer needed a phone, so she smashed it against the pavement which ended my little buddy. Lol. Well she saw the error of her ways or who know what, but she's going to try and buy me a phone in a day or so. We are both not really "ballin" enough to go throw money on some things. Anyways she only is gonna spend around $40 or $50 on the phone. I've looked on eBay, Craigslist, and other sites and it seems like im sort of S.O.L. I've checked out other phones besides the shift, and all i really care about is speed. But hell beggars can't be choosers lol. Well i decided to ask on here to see if I might get lucky and see if anyone has a decent sprint phone they are trying to sell or get rid of.
Any help is much appreciated and very thanked regardless.
I sympathize with your position but the only place on XDA for buying/selling/trading of devices is the marketplace, and unfortunately you will not have access there due to your account being very new, or by PM with someone and you are both taking a risk which most XDA members are unlikely to do. Or by an external source such as you have already checked out.
I will move this thread to Q&A since you did ask for suggestions, hopefully some members here can think of something helpful to suggest.
I suggest sticking with suggestions related to the phone and avoiding the relationship element please.
Thank you,

I would keep an eye out on Craigslist, and the XDA Marketplace. I've seen more than a few go for just around that price.
The ouya, regardless of your perspective or oppinion, is a powerful device for under $99. I for one will be dismantilling mine and modifying it to work with my Atrix Lapdock. Any other ideas would be great! It's early guys, but lets get ideas bubbling and maybe even it's own section on XDA.
I have preordered mine and waiting.
Do you plan to use it for anything out of the ordinary? Or just as an entertainment center?
