HTC Thunderbolt Release Date

[kook]

I'm going to go back to bestbuy and demand my $50 back. They better for holding my money for so long.

And if not, I'll just buy some sort of accessory. Either way....win.

anyone know if Wirefly honors verizon NE2 discount? or is that only available with verizon directly?

Mine is an upgrade on a line and I just paid $206 out the door.

 

[champaned_out]

yeah i would like to upgrade also since my upgrade has been up for several months now.. however i also have a $100 instant discount for my NE2.. so i was wondering if its possible to use that on wirefly's website, im guessing no but id still like to know for sure before i purchase.. if not ill have to buy mine at the verizon store so i can take advantage of the $100 discount

ahhh...I see what you're saying. Sorry....no clue.

Go SOcal!

I think that even with your new every two discount it will be more expensive to buy from vzw than it would be to take the deal from wirefly

 

[Droid DOES!!]

True. Beware of the double ETFs though! :icon_eek:

what sucks is not knowing 4g pricing or if your charged for not being in a 4g area yet

 

[TcRoc]

Engadget is claiming the 17th:


Wirefly: 'no ' on Thunderbolt, but simultaneous 3G voice and data is a go; ships on March 17th -- Engadget

Does this mean you can buy the phone and just get a 3g plan for now if your not in a 4g area?

When prompted on the Wirefly site at checkout, there is no indication that the data plan will be any higher than what you already have ($30 unlimited). In fact, it says your plan will stay the same. I suspect everyone has been freaking out over LTE pricing prematurely (it won't change until summer, maybe with the Bionic's release), but I expect we will find out for sure with an official VZW announcement today.

The real question is whether to buy it from Best Buy since I pre-ordered already (and risk paying $50 too much if they overcharge, which BB likes to do), wait to see what VZW will charge (and risk that my store will run out or charge the same as BB), or pull the trigger on Wirefly today for $200. I haven't decided what to do yet. Is there any reason NOT to buy from Wirefly? I'm not worried about double ETFs since I'm not going to be canceling my contract at all for any reason. The only thing I can think of is I will get it Thursday afternoon at the very earliest instead of the morning. The key is whether VZW stores will charge $200, $250, or $300, and whether there will be any instant or mail-in rebate. Hopefully we find this out this morning from VZW.

If I saw it right wirefly starts shipping on the 17th so you get it on friday at the the earliest.. also I wouldn't go to wirelfy for anything after past dealings with them.. not the double ETF stuff, but they created new lines and activated phones before they were shipped.. I returned them right away and never thought twice till they sent me new billing for a complete new and just created account. When I called Verizon they told me that wirefly created the account and I was getting billed for a phone I saw in a box and shipped back.. Got Verizon to straighten it out after a couple months and nothing more out of my pocket, but I had called wirefly in the first place just to upgrade on my NE2 and that is what happened..
