I live in the Wilkes-Barre, Scranton, Pa area. Bought the new Thunderbolt and the Verizon rep told me within 3 months but more likely in a month or so. I will believe it when I see it
 
I'm in Allentown, PA. I was told some time this year. The other day I pulled into work and BAAAM....4G!!! It's been three days of constant 4G connection. The speed of the data is super fast. All I can say is.... somebody call a vet, cause this puppy is sick!! :greendroid:

Im a little north of you in Scranton area. I heard we are getting it soon up here. I hope that is the truth.
 
Says on the verizon site for bloomington normal sometime this year. I live about 40 min north so wonder if i can pick it up anyone know distance? Good 30 miles it woule be.

Why the hell would you buy a thunderbolt if LTE isn't live or wont be for months in your area? That's the whole reason to own a Thunderbolt. Other then that the phones specs are last year

Well thats an easy one... It's the new D1 with a bigger screen and faster processor and triple the ram. It's bootloader is unlocked now, and a lot of the big name dev's are working with it. I'd rather have some real ROM's on a single core, than some themes on a dual core.

Not to mention if they go tiered data, we are good to go.

A better question, why would you not?

Good response, but I can tell u
why not. Its not the the "new d1", its a filler for between last years Gen and next Gen that's only selling point is Lte. The hardware is generic for today, nothing special. Don't get me wrong its a good phone, but I can't get over the fact that the phone is basically a beta realease for the network just to see what are the problems and what needs tweaking for the next generation. The single core really made a blow to this phone, and the battery life is ridiculous.

And the sad thing is... line up the thunderbolt and the EVO 4g (which was released 8months earlier) besides the slight increase on RAM. They are identical as far as hardware goes.

LOL

comical

Its a beta release for LTE? No. Verizon doesn't need a Beta phone, they have plenty of testers on their own. In fact, knowing that the Bionic has been cancelled because 1, it can't handle the transition from LTE to CDMA and vice-versa, and 2, its supposedly superior dual core can't keep the software from running out of control and overheating the phone to the point where it breaks. But hey, the TBolt has been out for about a month and its biggest complaint is 'battery life sucks'. Transition from today's technology to tomorrows? Sure, if you are only looking at the fact it has one core. But that one core is a blazing fast 2nd gen Snapdragon that puts it on par with any phone out there, including the now-cancelled Bionic.

And if you want to look at a phone who's only selling point is the fact that its LTE, look no further than the Droid Charge, which will be the TBolt's only competitor for the foreseeable future.

Are u serious?
The only competition for the Thunderbolt is the EVO 4G which besides the slight increase in RAM and Lte its the same damn phone. Ill tell you some real competitors, the G2X and the EVO 3D. Zues needs to workout cause those phones blow the Thunderbolt out of the sky.
