It will be 10AM for CSD

If a TB announcement happens tomorrow, 3 additional things to look for a reference to (for those that haven't read this yet): Netflix, Google Music, and OnLive. They are rumored by Bennnnnnn over at Android Central in riddle form today to be surprise additions to the TB. We will see...

I would love if Netflix came to the TB, it is afterall coming to snapdragon procs first

The initial commercials were paid for well ahead of time in anticipation of release, then at one point they were pulled from the internet and tv at the last minute for some reason. They stopped for awhile, and have just started resurfacing on tv today. There was a gap there for a while where people weren't seeing them. They still aren't back up on the VZW YouTube page, but maybe they are waiting for tomorrow to put them back up there.

And as far as the old Droids, many of them are EOL (end-of-life) dated to 3/31, so they are trying to sell them really cheap now to make room for new inventory. The recent drop in price (marking down all Droid branded handsets by $100) is another good sign of impending release for the TB.

You could be right, that article is not very encouraging for that rumor. Maybe Netflix will require dual core or something (from the tone of it, but not sure)? It is also possible that HTC was just keeping this one close to the vest to unleash it as a surprise (but this is less likely). We'll find out soon enough.

I cannot handle this excitement any longer (if these rumors about an announcement tomorrow are true). if nothing happens tomorrow, it'll be a sad, sad day. but here's to optimism!

If they don't announce today I will probably have to be put in the looney bin. Far too excited about this phone. My brain music keeps switching between the Thundercats theme (Feel the magic, hear the roar, Thunderbolt is loose!) and AC/DC Thunderstruck (You've got, THUNDERBOLT! yeeeaheeeyeaheeeyeah THUNDERBOLT!).

well here we go.. lets see what the day holds.. if they end up doing a preorder with Verizon ... whenever they finally do announce.. I will be all over it.. seems that the preorder phones always come a day early or worse case day of launch..

I'm pretty sure your trip to the looney bin will be postponed. Well, that is unless there are some other reasons for you to go.

Actually I think a lot of you are set for the looney bin with all the excitement generated by a phone. It will be interesting to see how they sell on the first day of sales.

Since it was mentioned yesterday by another person that seemed confident in their sources I will confirm that the day they picked is the same day that I am being told it will be released.
