The HTC Thunderbolt release is building like a super thunderstorm and today Verizon has just launched a new commercial for that might give us some clues to the actual release. Here's one youtube poster's theory on the release date:

If my Spanish Serves me Right.. It's 3 Sec's - 2 Sec's - 1 Sec = If You add them you get 6 days away.. Feb 13. if you countdown... it's 3 days away Feb. 10 =)

I know this is the web and it's a worldwide forum... but if it's VZW, why is it in Spanish? or at least why is there no English version to go with it? Either way, it's a pretty cool / short little spot they posted, along with the theory of the youtube poster.

^ probably cause it sounds a lot more dramatic then if it was someone speaking english just saying "3 seconds 2 seconds..."

Haha yea I guess your right about that.

No really whats with the spanish.. and even to have Feb spelled in spanish.. weird .. neat, but why??

WOW! The concept was used from the Poltergeist Film...great idea. =]

Bet that raises the anxiety level a few notches.

but doesn't every 1 second between flash and thunder equate to approx 7 miles?? so that could mean it's anywhere from 7 to 21 days away... *stirs the pot*

I just want the device to come out already.

Mod Edit: Was that really needed?

This is why Verizon decided to go the spanish route:

i just watched the vid again but correct me if im wrong... my spanish is horrible but isnt the dialogue saying 1 second 2 second 3 second? not the other way around?
or does is actually translate to english backwards?

You guys are too much in here, lol.

 

[huskerkate]

much less stressful in here than in the other thread...

funny video! much better than the SB ads... of course, the person speaking the spanish doesn't hurt the message, either :icon_ devil:
