HTC Thunderbolt Release Date

[funkyb]

I see that it's going to have a mobile hotspot for wireless tethering. Will there be a fee associated with that, or is it only free if you root like with the original Droid?

I would not expect it to behave any differently than you have seen with other devices.

It will likely require the Mobile Hotspot Plan which is I think $20/mo. But I'm sure once this think is rooted there will be plenty of ways to Wifi teather for free.

I guess $20/mo is doable until someone figures out how to root it. I would love to be able to use my rooted Nook away from wifi.

I still think, if its going to happen on the 17th, we would have heard something by now.

Just order my screen protector. Now just have to wait for otterbox.

My understanding is that the device has already been rooted, so the root apps should work.

I figure if I follow the leprechaun I will find either my pot of gold or my thunderbolt.

A friend of mine is a leprechaun. He works full-time for Verizon in their public relations department. He's in charge of disseminating useful information about upcoming products in a timely manner via relevant, informative tweets and strategically placed forum posts. Anyway... He says they're definitely going to be released this Thursday.

I've got a good feeling about this one. I'm going to hold my breath this time. If I die blue, it's on Verizon now...

I wonder if the otterbox evo cases will work for the thunderbolt.

Can I get your car or something?

It's a lease... You can have my OG Droid, though. I really hope I don't die blue... :icon_ nono2:

Ill wait no need paying 40 bucks for a case just to wing it. I am sure otterbox will have a thunderbolt case soon but are like us and waiting for it to released to the public.

TB has a much larger kickstand than the EVO.

The evo cases have the kickstand on the case itself. I saw one on this one dudes evo otterbox case.
