Prepping to move on?

March 17th is the day my freinds

I believe that as much as I believe Charlie Sheen is a Warlock with Tiger Blood

I was waiting for the TB also preordered from BB.my droid felt old & sluggish.I gave up on feb. 28th I purchased the iPhone & honestly could not be happier.never thought I would even consider anything other than android,but went into Verizon just to fix a problem w/ my wifes phone.I played w/ the enemy & fell under it's spell almost immediately.the smoothness is amazing & the apps......well they speak for themselves ( far more superior ).once I looked past the android vs apple bs I realized the iPhone was perfect for me.I was tired of constantly tweaking my phone for it to work right. Also I was fed up w/ d/l Roms & reading about my rom is better than yours. Now I pick up my phone use it & put it away.just that simple.my battery is measured in days now instead of hours.I don't hear my wife saying get off that phone anymore & my daughter is also happy to not see my Phone unless we are playing a game together.overall I'm happy to own the iPhone, but I'll always be grateful to the droid forum community.I don't hesitate to tell my friends how good android is & will get.so if your still waiting on the TB pick up the iPhone for a few minutes & see if you like it.

I fell victim to it as well. Just needed something new to play with. Although if something new comes out within the next week before my lock in date ill probably return it then but I'm startin to kinda have a feel for it.

Ugh, patience really is a virtue. HTC Sense UI on the TBolt is as smooth as any iOS I have used.

This is really, really, really great to hear.

Although there is no hard evidence it's difficult to argue that Apple had no role in the delay of the Thunderbolt. I love my MacBook Pro and my 24" iMac desktop and will upgrade each when needed but I'll have a hard time buying another iPhone. I had the first one but didn't like it and of course hated AT&T. My wife loves her 3GS and of course wants a new one.

If the T-Bolt launches with restrictions a-la Xoom (no 4G), I'll pass and reconsider VZW altogether. I'll be able to escape with no ETF by the end of the year.

They really dropped the ball by bowing down to Apple and forgoing all else for the iPhone. Too many eggs in one basket. They forgot one of the key rules of investing: "diversification".

From my perspective, the timing of the crApple product releases are just unfortunate to those wanting the TBolt. My belief is still that there are issues with the LTE network and Verizon is just trying to make those issue right before releasing the TBolt. I believe VZW knows how many people are waiting for the TBolt and the Bionic, and really want to ensure that there isn't a huge backlash if they release an LTE device that is flawed in many ways.

Of course, all the LTE issues occuring around the release of the iPhoney 4 and maxiPad 2 makes it appear as though VZW is focusing on crApple, I just refuse to believe that they would be so narrow-sighted.

If the Thunderbolt doesn't come out by the end of March I'm going to wait for something else. It seems like there is something wrong worth the phone. I like the phone but I'm not going to wait forever for it.

For all of you out there who say you're going to 'wait' for something else....SURE YOU WILL!!! This phone will come out when it's ready and blow away the competition! Don't expect miracles from 4G handset batteries either (not just the TB). Sure I want it now, but I also have enough patience to wait for a clean release.

What is most frustrating is Verizon's silence on the matter.

Apple likely negotiated a release silence around all their release dates when they agreed to sell through Verizon. HTC took too long to get the radio parameters right and the product slid into Apple's contractually mandated hiatus.

There's a date that makes sense on BGR, but I won't mention it here since I don't want the thread locked. I'd rather make more ad revenue for the Boy.

Well...I moved on yesterday. Went to the VZW store and they still couldnt tell me a release date. So I got the DroidX so far I really like it. This is my first smartphone. They did tell me the data plan was going up for 4g phones. Another reason I moved on. Good Luck everyone with your Thunderbolts!!

 

[Shogun613]

I was fully prepared to go ahead and maybe wait for the next iphone... then about an hour ago, I got a call from VZW saying that they'll have the phone on Thursday, and they'll set one aside for me. Now I'm confused, lol...

With the official release on thursday you can return your X and get the TB with unlimited 4G for the same monthly price. Having an X and the problems I've had with wifi, force closes and such I would recommend considering the TB very strongly.
