...and the TB's bootloader is unlocked, yes? This might be my phone, forget the Bionic haha

The Thunderbolt does has an locked bootloader.. but it is easier to break then Motorola locked bootloader.. We have see the TB rooted and the Atrix. So there is a strong chance that the Bionic will be rooted also...

Yes but though the Attrix is rooted, the partitions are signed by Motorola. Which means it is once again, "locked".

Wondering then, if the unlimited 4G plan is only $29.99, and the 3G unlimited plan is $39.99, if I should drop the 3G plan (or make it 5GB) and take the 4G plan..o.o
 
Look at the bright side, everyday the thunderbult isn't out, we get 24 hours closer to the day it will be. I really don't care as long as it comes out before March 10th. I get my upgrade then!:) And the $30 dollar 4g is even better.
 
I am to the point that I do not believe any release date until it is confirmed by Verizon or I am holding the phone in my hands.
same here... so many rumors... none of which have been true. i'd love to know VZW reasoning behind not releasing the date (while having plenty of commercials and even having demo phones in the store).
 
As of now no change in price, if you get an LTE phone you get LTE, no price increase. It will probably change in the future though.

Doubtful. There will be caps, but whether that means a price increase (above the "standard" plan, whatever that is, which probably remains at $30) will depend on how much people use. For most I suspect the pain will be all imagined. $30 for 2 gigs right now would not materially affect 90%+ of customers.

Well, the way the blogs have been all over it seems they are generating some free publicity. Not sure how much, though, because the majority of potential buyers aren't reading those blogs and the forums.

Just seems kind of dumb to me to spend a bunch of money to advertise and not tell people when it's coming. I don't picture too many people seeing those commercials and then standing around the office water cooler debating what it is and when it's coming.
 
This is interesting....Just went to VZW website and looks like the Xoom has finally bumped the IPhone to "page 2", now the first thing you see when going there.

So, if you're a betting man, doesn't look good for the TBolt as I imagine it's going to page 1 when it comes out and I'd expect the Xoom to get a few more days in the sun before then. Next Thursday sounds good to me.
 
Once 29.99 can be confirmed guratneed the question is for how long?? If TB is having issues getting out what's to stop the other 4G phones from having issues?? Of course with TB being the first this could justbe a gorwing pain and the others will already have it worked out.. but for how long will they offer the unlimited.. I know I will sign a two year for 29.99 and just ebay may may through the next couple years to keep the pricing..

I read somewhere that Verizon is not going to charge extra for LTE until it gets everywhere that 3G is (or at least most places). That makes a lot of sense because people would get very angry if they had to pay for something that was not available to them for many months. Then at the point that 4G access is widely available on VZW, they will change up the pricing schemes.

The reason has to either be they dont have enough phones or the iPhone, b/c My Vstore has a bunch, they said, and they played with them and they work awesome, but they just cant sell them yet.
 
March 3rd, March 10...oh well just wait until the bionic or for us to get more word on the LG phones. Man if I was the ceo of motorola now would be a good time to "leak" news about a motorola nexus.

its probably gonna be on sprint :icon_evil:.
