Thunderbolt full retail price.

Sorry if this has been answer. Anyone have any idea how much the full retail price? I know contract is 249..
And how does lte work? If I have unlimited data right now. Would I have to pay extra to get lte?
Sent from my DROIDX using XDA App

That 249 price point is pure speculation right now no one really knows. Let's say it were true which it might not be, Id take a stab at the phone being either 599 or 699 (also guesstimates). Until Verizon decides it's time to come clean it's all speculation.

Yep. Im wondering this as well. I will be selling my droid x and buying it full price

From Droid-Life.com:
We’re hearing from our peeps that February 24th will be the day the HTC Thunderbolt is released and prices will look as follows: $249 on 2-year contract, $329 on 1-year contract and $599 full retail.

Take that with a huge grain of salt as Android Central and Best Buy employees have SCREENSHOTS of a Feb 14th release date (the most convincing up to now) of which I also don't believe but I'm not a believer of rumors by nature.

(The BBXXXXX) sku number is not a Verizon model number but a Best Buy item number.)
Again take any rumors for what they're worth... not much. But one thing is pretty obvious it'll be out before March 1st so whatever happens it won't be long now.

That would be absolutely amazing if that's not just a placeholder. Man I hope my tax return is back by then.

As someone who works for Best Buy (and the in the phone department ) guys, that "instock" date means nothing. We get stuff all the time before launch and that system just shows when the store is receiving the merchandise. Also the model number would be of the product, I've never seen a model number like that before, so I doubt it is the phone....

Kind of a bad idea imo. You're missing out o. Alot of months of fun with the thunderbolt. When the desire 2 finally makes it to carriers it will be about holiday2011. If that happens and it does end up on verizon, I will just sell the thunderbolt on ebay and buy full retail. I don't see anything wrong with this plan.

i just pre ordered my htc last night, $50 at BB and got $50 gift card back... win win i think i cant wait to pick it up.. they told me come back sat. for appt.. what ever that means..

I have a quick question.
So its $50 down to pre-order, but what is the full price against which you are pre-ordering? And what is this about a $50 gift card as well.
Also, can you change your mind on the pre-order? The reason I ask is I will be adding this phone as a new ATT transfer number line onto an existing VZW family plan, so I don't know if BB will do that or if I have to call VZW directly.
I am thinking of stopping by on the way home and pre-ordering, but I wanted to clarify those two things before I go out of the way to BB.
Thanks.

the $50 down to pre-order secures your spot. You get a $50 giftcard, that is your preorder, which you can use towards the total cost of the phone. If you change your mind, you now have a $50 giftcard

It's all over in the blog sites. I hope it wont be delayed as I did the $50 deposit, but it just might. Actually, for 2/14 being only 5 days away... it's looking more towards a delay as we dont have hardly any unboxing videos (except on from Engaget).

Is it normal for an unboxing to be a "pre-production" model? That's what the wirefly guy said.
I don't usually watch the unboxing videos, so IDK.

Just watched a video on phone arena showing the VZW iphone has the death grip antenna problem , couldn't happen to nicer phone !! ha-ha.

Just A Rant

So, after receiving my Pebble Blue 16GB S3 on the 11th, I realized that I would much rather have the Marble White version. So I've been posting on Craigslist non-stop for a trade, so that I could avoid paying the $35 restocking fee. Well, yesterday was the last day that I could go to Verizon to switch the device with the restocking fee, and of course with my luck, all Verizon locations in the area are out of stock. They offered to order me one, but explained that they would have to send my device back, and I would be without a phone until the white one gets here.
Now, I know it's my own fault for waiting so damn long, but man. It sucks!

Return it and buy it from BestBuy. Just be sure to have Verizon put a note on your account to let you keep the unlimited data.
I personally hate BestBuy but they have the best return policy of any retail store.

I have a marble white and I've been lightly considering switching to Pebble Blue, but only under convenient circumstances. What area do you live in? I'm in SW Chicago suburbs.

It is a crazy popular phone. I suspect anything you do with it needs to be done with as much time padding as possible.
I read something about even the warranty places possibly not having enough stock to do replacements.

So I called Verizon and tried my hand at conning them into sending me a white refurb. They said that they would, but their redemption center has none in stock, and they were very limited on the blue. So I figure if I give it a month or two, I'll try back again and hopefully they'll have a few!

Sorry, especifically "the source code" for ICS...

They also have the Wildfire S still on their site. Not much for new products. I can't find the g2x now so either we bought them all or it was an anomaly. Do you know if it was refurb? If it's not too much, we should get Hell one for him to put a working copy of ICS on just for a trophy if nothing else.

Samsung warranty

So I have a hard bricked infuse. Don't necessarily need to go into deets on that. However, I can exchange my infuse through warranty. But there is a glitch; I have a hair line crack in my screen. Maybe an inch in the top right corner. Warranty will cover it, but cost me $370. I was wondering if I could just bring the phone in locally to have that crack sealed (if possible at all. Heard of people doing it.) then send it into warranty without them knowing the difference? Then get my new phone without that hefty fee. 
Plan b is to send it into the jtag peeps. I've already tried the jig. That's a no go.
Heres a pic of the crack. Its that black line in the corner. Its hardly visible.

If the sealant is good quality and the application is flawless then no. But make sure before you pay that the fill is completely without flaws including air bubbles.

Well they were going to give me the infuse, but since it was the second time sending it in I convinced them that maybe that model was a little buggy and the skyrocket would be better due to the similarities.
