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

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.
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.
My father's brother's nephew's cousin's former roommate says the TB will be released by AT&T on 3-3-2011 for one hundred billion dollars....

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.

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.

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

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

That means that they have until the end of July to release it.

Hello,
I've created this thread and named it appropriately [SANCTUARY] for those users that have previously owned a Desire S (and still may do) and have since moved on to to using another device. Anyone who spent time in this forum may as I've done find life outside it a very tedious place.
This was my first Android device, which I still own (as does my wife), I've always greatly appreciated the attitude in this forum and found it a safe, friendly haven especially when compared along side the chaos and carnage that can be found in the other flag ship device areas! We've been fortunate here and have mostly escaped endless trolls, pointless bickering, needless aggressive sarcasm and have historically required minimal need for moderation.
Many of this forums founding and contributing members have more recently moved on to using a variety of other main stream flagship devices (commonly the HTC One X or SGS 2/3 ) no doubt we will all move in time, but, with endless existing Sense ROMs, recently its first Sense 4.1 ROM being released not forgetting AOSP/CM10/AOKP ICS & JB ROMs still being perfected the device has plenty of life in it yet.
This thread is primarily intended as a place where those people who have moved away from the DS can come to ask questions and receive answers without being crowded out or shouted down as I've found to be the unfortunate general behavior in the mainstream flagship forums which are populated by a great deal more uncivilized users.
This isn't intended to be another [OFF-TOPIC] thread, so please continue to use the standard DS OT thread for that [OFF-TOPIC] Desire S Users Hangout Lounge for that.
EDIT: It appears that the moderators have seen to close all OFF TOPIC threads see their justification here.
If this thread succeeds that it should hopefully be inhabited by a large number of Ex-DS users and therefore users who will have a great deal of DS relevant knowledge, so new DS users are more than welcome to come to ask questions....although primarily I'd prefer the Yes/No type questions only, as if your question requires a lengthy response, its probably worthy of its own thread in the Q&A section (so create a new one - but try searching first!).
As an initial starting point, why not attempt to follow the form of brief introduction (although I reckon this will be mostly unnecessary) and let us know what device you are on now and then any question, statement or recommendation you have...
I'll start off -
Hello, I'm Ben (obviously!)
I'm planning on buying an N4 tomorrow night, I won't be alone there as I believe several other current DS users are planning on doing the same, I'm hoping that this thread can become a the haven for us all!
Ben, as enigmaamit said, you shouldn't jump the gun. Wait for a month (or at least a week) and see if there are any major flaws in the device. Not many devices come out without one, and this is LG

I hear you shrome99, but at that price I'm still jumping ship, when you consider that the N4 is Approx £200 cheaper than the equivalent other flagship devices (ie HTC One X+ or i9305) it will have to be significant issues for me to regret it! (famous last words ) Although I won't be daft enough to sell the DS anytime soon, so if there are issues then I'll still have that, although as foolish as it may be I want to be on board day 1 with a new flagship device for a change (much against my my normal better judgement!).
Makes sense It's been getting glowing reviews from all sites, I'm sure it'll be awesome.
Hello guys! Most of you probably know me or at least recognise the name....
DS was my 1st android device which I loved dearly (and still do) although it has now been sold.
Currently I own a galaxy s2 which even though I've had it only 2 months looks as though it will soon find itself on eBay to make way to get mighty N4! However I plan to hold back a week or 2 after release to get a better picture of the real life use of the phone (all his shiz re thermal throttling has got me spooked!) 99% sure I will be getting it very soon though, just awaiting some user fb from new users.....

Do I really need to introduce myself? I'm sure that most of the guys/gals (are there any of those) who come to this thread will know me
The DS was also my first smart-phone and I still have it right now. It's a bit scuffed and I've replaced both the touch-screen and the LCD (butter-fingers), but she means a lot to me and I learnt a lot through playing with her. When I got the DS I was looking at several models, but I'm glad I made the choice I did as it meant I met some really good people on here.
As you probably know, I got myself an LG Optimus 4X HD which I am really chuffed with. I know that it is a locked bootloader, but I was actually after a phone to use as a phone and the contract deal was too good to refuse. I will almost certainly be getting myself an N7 + 3G in the near future as I can't root the company one I'm with Eyahl - it may be a treat to myself as I've got the big 40 coming up in a few weeks :silly:
Hello guys!! Tomorrow night or on tuesday morning I´m going to buy the Nexus 4...
Are you going to unlock the bootloader or root the device? I think it´s one of the first things I do so I don´t have to loose all my data later on.

Hello, Nah, not exactly, in fact that's the exact question that I've been trying to get an answer to myself......I plan on checking at midnight before I crash, (but am sure that will be way too early) and then again at about 7:30-8am on the 14th with my credit card in hand when I figure they'll be open for business :fingers-crossed:
Let me know via this thread if you get any update......or have any suspicions.
Hey people!
Eagerly waiting for the beast, totally committed to buying on day 1. I won't be selling the DS though, for several reasons. I actually need a device I can splash android 2.3-4.1.1 with to test my apps.
So this will be my main stop thread in a short while...
Thanks Ben!

if by "confirm" you mean completely unsubstantiated rumors with zero mention of a source? If they really had this info, wouldn't they just take a picture of the spreadsheet or whatever they got it from?

a) my comment was in response to the worthless article that cited no source at all
b) to shut you up? What do they have to lose? If they don't give you a date, they can constantly say "it's coming..." every time you bother them, until you sell your phone and lose interest. Like a phone company has never promised an update for a phone and then balked / not come through? Oh no, wait, it happens all the time.
Not trying to even say they lied to you, per se, it's just easy for them to say "sure, we have plans to do it" and never get around to it. These rumor threads are silly because there's no time frame or accountability.

b) to shut you up? What do they have to lose? If they don't give you a date, they can constantly say "it's coming..." every time you bother them, until you sell your phone and lose interest. Like a phone company has never promised an update for a phone and then balked / not come through? Oh no, wait, it happens all the time.
Not trying to even say they lied to you, per se, it's just easy for them to say "sure, we have plans to do it" and never get around to it. These rumor threads are silly because there's no time frame or accountability.

I think you're getting excited for nothing, There's a petition and many of us I'm sure, are willing to boycott HTC should they decide not to update. These manufacturers have to be taught. No point in crying and getting all butthurt about it. If they decide not to update, we teach them by not buying anymore HTC products. That's just my 2c
And please don't say things like "To shut you up" I have the right to free speech just like you.
I'm not crying nor butthurt. Quite the opposite - I actually don't care if HTC updates or not. It'd be nice, but I'm not losing sleep on it (or writing petitions....). I just think these threads about unsubstantiated rumors are silly is all. If it's gonna come, they'll announce a release date; if they don't, no point in getting people excited / upset over nothing. It's completely empty filler.

lol no need to apologize, as I said earlier, we all have a right to free speech!
Hopefully you will join in my boycott of HTC if they don't release updates. The more we are, the more likely they will learn!
This thread is akin to a call of duty mw3 lobby where there's always atleast 1 smack talker. :thumbup:

Last I heard One X was getting the update September/October with XL to follow shortly after that making it October/November.
One S would have followed that with Nov/Dec/Jan which pushes it outside HTC's 18month rule which is probably why they decided they wont be updating it.
