I didn't see this posted but a friend/source of mine says that AT&T will be releasing the Fuze in the states November 3rd for $300 after $100 rebate.
Flame on if I missed this as obvious news
Date for ATT Fuze
Hello, Release is listed as October 23 for the Fuze release. ATT is releasing the Omnia around that date as well, I do believe the O is on the 21st.
Jon/Beachboyde
Still a close date. This is based on sales sheet information from today.

Read the entire thread. There is a stock sheet saying 23rd. Regardless, it's getting close. As far as the thread in this section, you're only a month or so late =p

ive been keeping up with that fuze thread since it started and the fuze thread before that. i saw the sheet with the 23rd on it thank you
are you the same person who put on engadget the 3rd with no evidence?
Really guys, really? Are you going to get on this kid for posting useful info when all you have are unreliable dates from a sheet (check the releases of the other phones, they don't all match up)? I'd definitely believe his November 3rd date.

Thanks for the support.
Sadly, no, I did not post on engadget and have only posted here. I don't have proof other than the text from my manager buddy who said he got a price/release date sheet and the Fuze was on it for Nov. 3rd.
I'm not a newb and didn't go around flailing about with this date. Just posting some info I got is all.
wow, people are gettin' grumpy lol fella releases some honest info, and get shat upon lol.
Hurry up ATT, the junkies in this forum are startin' to itch...
p.s. @OP, TY for the info! <3
Instead at looking at sheets or taking people's word for it I'd rather believe my local ATT cooperate store which tells me they will have the phone avaiable one week after their training on the 16th of this month. Putting the release date at the 23rd.
Earlier the better but I trust corporate stores as much as the government.
well if it doesn't come out until Nov.3 then that puts it close to the release time of the Touch HD. I still haven't made up my mind on whether to get the fuze just for 3G or get the Touch HD and use it on Edge like my Touch pro now and enjoy a much larger screen and better camera.
Nov 3rd seem like it could be true i dont see why people or bashing on him for giving us some info...i remember the diamond had a release date that everyone thought was true but it didnt release until a couple weeks later for sprint...all we should care about is that its actually will come out for ATT...oct 23 and nov 3 thats less than 2 weeks apart from one another...thanks for the info by the way
I'm only saying that giving info without proof is why everyone is upset. By the way the guy waiting for the Pro or the HD thats an easy one Touch Pro since the US will NEVER get a Touch HD in the US, it's already been officially said that there will be no touch HD coming to the US. Also I'm not sure if some have had bad expierences with cooperate stores in the past but my store last year gave me a date for the TyTn II release last year and they had it in stock a day early so yea I'm inclined to believe them, the NYC cooperate store near my house is usually very reliable and don't guess release dates like some other places.

I'm not trying to start a fight and am glad that the 23rd may be a possibility too.
I wouldn't be myself if I didn't say this though...where is YOUR proof You can't get on my case with 'well my store told me this'.
I mean this in the lightest of moods, so don't get angry...besides, after reading, it looks like this device suffers from the same "it's a business device, not a media device BS" that I got with my Tilt...and I won't go on that train again.
Well, if it comes on the 23rd then at&t will beat sprint out of the gate as the sprint version has been pushed to Nov 2nd. Plus, I have not seen any official previews of the fuze anywhere on the net. Or did I miss something..? The sprint version has youtubes all over the web with official previews.

Yes, and at the time that sheet was released Sprint's Touch Pro was set to release on the 16th. Sprint's got pushed back to November 2nd, and I believe the exclusivity still plays a role in the fact that they're the first carrier to get it, so AT&T may have had to push their date back to the 3rd. It makes perfect sense, and the training dates wouldn't be delayed if they already had them set up.

exclusivity i believe doesnt push others back when one carrier delays theirs.
like how att keeps delaying their bold im pretty sure other carriers can bring them out withint the time frame specified when att originally should have had it out
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

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

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.
Rumors are that Apple is releasing LightPeak under the name ThunderBolt. Could it be that the phone got delayed to change the name? Apple has done this a few times, where they'll use a conflicting name then throw their weight around to take the trademark.
Haven't seen anybody else make this correlation, so I thought it was worth putting out there.
(Sorry I can't add links, but both AppleInsider [dot] com and MacRumors [dot] com have stories on this)
The thunderbolt is.already trademarked by HTC, check out how its already up on their site
There is no delay, there has to be a release date to be a delay
They also wouldn't make you pre order a month and a half in advance
And they told the world they shipped the phones last week so they are there
Verizon is probably being paid by crapple to shut up about everything but their icrap until their 14 days are up, oddly that's the day the Thunderbolt should be released
Sent from my HTC Incredible using XDA App
If it comes out tomorrow or 28th, I blame apple and none of the other BS rumors. If it comes out in March there might actually be network problems.
It probably is apple because they played the commercials for the phone during the all star game with no date money does make the world go 'round and its not going to have Skype maybe because Skype just got their group calling out of beta so it would be useless for ppl to have a Skype which can't do group calls just a theory
A little inside info from work. 28 is where it got put cause 24th we didn't get shipments ontime so most likly 28th at this point. Rss reflects all bes buy stores in the area like Jersey, Ny, have no shipments and no stock inbound or any TB in stock. so no i can pretty much confirm. 24th is NOT the release date. 28th SHOULD now be. Fun fact, if your in Jersey like I am. Most of the coverage map is empty for jersey so 4G is useless till coverage comes in our area for Verizon.
Don't you guys follow The Panda (Black Man X) on Twitter? He's a VZW insider... works deep in the company.
He's said several times the phone isn't coming until March. The 28th isn't happening. Verizon never releases on any other day than Thursday, either.

Yeah but would they start the "coming soon" commercials on TV this soon? I read yesterday 3/21 for a drop date (but if that's a Monday and they don't do Mondays then ??). I realize the IPhone was hyped up FOREVER before its release, but that was THE IPHONE!! Stop the world, lol, here it comes.
I don't think I've actually ever waited for a phone, usually I just get what's out, so IDK when they start their ads for the next big thing usually.
I think apple is behind the delay on the TB. I was told by a Verizon tech that Apple demanded that V erizon stop the new every two plan if they wanted the iphone.

I can only imagine all the stipulations given to VZW in order to get the iphone.
A holding period on releasing any new devices for a month would probably be one of them... March 10th maybe?

black_max_x complains and moans when ppl dont give him credit for what he says, he doesnt atually say a release date. he does some GAY poem that hints on a month. people dont want to figure that **** out so they ignore what he says, then when ppl are *****ing about the date not being right THEN he says the month and complains nobody listens to him or gives him credit. i find him very annoying lately [/rant]
Apparently at the mwc they said the phones were shipping the week of the 14th

This is weird I started a thread about how I DONT BELEIVE the delay is about the battery life. But it was takin down....hmmmmm fishy
My reasons are There are commercials, you tube vids, newspaper clippings, web advertisements all over (CNN).... Posters in BestBuy and at the Verizon Stores....
You mean to tell me VERIZON the most stringent tester out of all carriers would showcase the HTC THUNDERBOLT advertise it on there site....without testing the battery??? OH PLEASE.
NO WAY! I would not beleive anything engadget says..... they are in APPLES POCKET!!! I think thats obvious!!!
The delay is to help iphone sales!!
At this point it doesn't matter anymore.
well not that it matters anymore but the thunderbolt has been givin the green ;light to be shipped,,, look for it to be out soon
and the delay yea maybe it had to do with the battery BUTTT i was told from a verizon rep ,,,
alot of the delay was becuz of the IPHONE
I know that at least some people have the phone but there is a complete lack of even preliminary reviews on the web/here. Whats the story? Surely more than the two or three people who got their hands on one here have the device.
Can anyone point me at a basic overview of first impressions etc of the device that wasnt written in April.
i was thinkin the smae thing, not a single review or unboxing :l
I think it's because it's on an exclusive with Vodafone. (this is "logical" speculation) but I think that the techsites would prefer to get a sim-free phone (that they may sell on when they've finished testing and reviewing) and so they can't get that due to the exclusivity.
Also from what I've heard from a few on phandroid is that their pre-orders have been "delayed." Some have reported to be getting them by monday or maybe saturday (due to delivery times) but who know's if they'll give some kind of review.
The exclusivity is really annoying!! I NEED an in-depth, final build, review and video so I can decide between this and the GSII - the decision is DRIVING ME NUTS!!
Wow, it's been ONE day. Calm down! No doubt the site/youtube will be inundated with reviews as the phones start to get into peoples hot little hands!

True, but I've been trying to make the decision for literally a month now...
too eager to make a proper decision
unless testers had thiers before today. it makes sense to review after day or 2 testing. unboxing maybe tommoz as a few of us have got one. Im getting mine hopefully tomorrow.
Im there on youtube refreshing this page every hour. I need a life

You're quite right and I doubt that testers had pre-release units.
When testers have pre-release units there are normally two scenarios:
1) they release a review of a pre-release unit before it comes to market
2) they sit on the review till it comes to market which means they would have published a review today the moment they were available in stores.
So we'll most likely see reviews in two days as you said and then maybe in a week for some others. I don't think they'll care too much about whether it is sim-locked or not (I'm talking about the bigger sites as they often get loaners for their reviews).
I decided about a month ago I was going to get a new phone, and was looking for good specs but low price without signing a contract (AT&T) is my carrier. I just got a Samsung Galaxy S5 from them in December, but it was only 16gb and locked up tighter than fort knox. So, after 2 months of struggling to operate within 16gb of memory, I decided I wanted something better.
So, I searched around and found the Oneplus. However this was fraught with getting an invite from someone. So, I created an account on their site, store and forums. Then looked around a bit, but asked for nothing. This was mid January, and after looking around I decided i needed to wait until now to get one. So I never looked back. Well, the morning of the day I was going to get serious, I got an invite direct from oneplus, without ever asking for it. So I went ahead and ordered it.
Just wondering if this is a rare occurance , or does oneplus eventually just give everyone an invite after a month or so?
Everyone just eventually gets an invite, they're not reading your mind. There's no timeframe on it though, they dispense invites to coincide with their manufacturing capability.
Transmitted via Bacon
I signed up around after black friday and received 2 invitations since then. I never used them though so I guess they didn't send anymore. That was over a month ago.
I see, so everyone does get an invite at some point. That means that many of the people running around pleading for an invite when they "claim" to have been waiting for months and not gotten one yet means they are being less than honest with the rest of the forum members.
