The S4 is launching Friday for AT&T (with actual sale to begin Satirday) and starting tomorrow you can officially set appointments. My store opens at 10am and I will set my appointment for then. Appointments get priority service even if there are 10 of you waiting.

I'm an AT&T employee and can confirm the launch but obviously I can't post internal communications. Just a heads up about the appointments.

All the stores in my area still don't know anything about the release date, and none of them are taking appointments for it.

Appointments are in general. Its just something new that AT&T is doing and not necessarily for the S4. Appointment scheduling starts tomorrow 4/23.
Tell your Rep's to ask their SSR about Thursday's reset.

All internal communication points to Friday. Even the phone/tablet deal changes on Friday and a reset is scheduled for Thursday and those only happen for design/display changes or device launches, none scheduled next week. No devices have gotten to our store but they usually get to the store Wednesday or Thursday. Also in the Georgia/Carolinas market so attbrandon and I have the same info. Be sure I'll post the moment our inventory gets in either Wednesday or Thursday. A tweet sent out said 27th but our internal communications say 26th. Either way, launch is this weekend. I just don't see Saturday as plausible because since I've been here I've never seen a phone launching on a Saturday, always Friday.

To be fair to everyone else though, I do understand the confusion. I don't remember seeing this much confusion/ misdirection over launch dates for a phone in a long time so close to the launch date. Hell, I bet even with a release date this week that Mycsp won't even cover it until next week with all these mixed up dates.

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.

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.

It's embedded in this page, I've seen the commercial here in the US though.
http://www.phonesreview.co.uk/2011/03/03/htc-thunderbolt-release-delayed-but-not-commercial-video/
There is a TBolt ad just about every time you go MSNBC's mobile app.
Apologies if this has been asked to death, but my phone search couldn't find it.
I'm in bed with a stinky cold and trying to solve the age-old upgrade connumdrem (nexus or gs2, nexus or gs2). Anyway, I think a timeline of release dates for Nexii/Android OS would help me figure this out, but I can't find one (please bear in mind, my brain is fried atm).
Can anyone point me in the right direction?

But of course, my brain really is fried today
I was up for renewal in Aug. I asked the same questions you did. I am on US verizon. I kept looking at "Galaxy Nexus Coming soon" for months. Dare I say, I was about to go for an iphone. Looking back I'm glad I held out, but I agree, roadmaps with timelines for milestone releases would be nice. I have to do it in my business.
Thanks for that. I ended up going with yhe S2 as i think i value storage over the layest updates.
I did actually make a timeline with contract lengths & update schedules in the end and that clinched it!

I had no problem with them when I pre-ordered my Evo 4G, picked it up on launch day with no fuss. I'm not a fan of BB in general, but the instant rebate and the early pre-order date won me over the first time. Why not again? Plus, if they're still offering the $50 trade-in credit for my Evo 4G, that's a lot of reasons to walk through their doors.
Doent this concern the LTE version of the phone?
So it is the One-xl
Different forum for that.
So moving now
I'm going to move this thread as its not concerned with the HTC One XL. If the admins choose a combined solution, then we can move these back here at a later date. There are enough hardware and software differences that I believe this phone will have its own fora.

I like to order from bestbuy mobile because their insurance, although $2 more then Sprint, theres no copay if u ef up the phone. $100 copay through sprints insurion service. Also they have the buyback program which 22months from now, you sell it back and have enough for the next upgrade.Plus I get the upgrade through my number, they switch to my number right away. SPRINT makes u wait 30 days.
Exactly.

You can read the grossly exaggerated horror stories, endlessly repeated duplicate posts, and emotional circular ranting taking place on the One X forum. It's quite entertaining. There's one thread discussing graphics issues that's rambled on for 50+ pages without a shred of anything substantive to discuss. I come to the XL forum to get away from it.

It's not really backordered. It's just the system being wonky because it's a pre order. If you pre order through AT&T and you get the email stating you'll get it shipped on May 2nd, you're fine.
And as long as you order your phone before 4pm EST on the 2nd, you should get it. But to be safe, just do it on the 1st. haha
This phone is popular in the tech world, but it's no iPhone. They'll have stock.

I'm using my wife's upgrade, and when I went to see about the Radio Shack offer ($50 less), they said that the phone had to be on the number it was purchased on for 31 days or they'd charge the full price of the phone to my card.
I have a premier account and just got an email from ATT stating.
