March 4th seems like the next target date.

Sweet! Looks like I'm definitely not eating my Blackberry.

I don't think you'll see it before March 15th though - but that's just a guess. I knew this phone wouldn't drop until March weeks ago.

You can't honestly tell me that if iPhone 4 was called Droid Incredible 2 that you wouldn't already have one and be singing its praises.

[off_topic_rant]
I don't care if it was called Droid McUberFab 2000, if it has an Apple logo it won't be in my pocket. And before you start calling me fanboy, there are a number of reasons this is the case. I think Apple has great bulid quality (generally) and their hardware look nice, if a bit to glossy and bubbly for my taste.

It's the company and their closed system I don't care for. They are now try to force companies that require subscriptions for their apps to give Apple 30% right off the top or it's not allowed in the app store. Their last two major devices (iPhone and iPad) had names that other devices were already using. Now they want to name LightPeak in their hardware Thunderbolt.

I really just don't care for the way they do business, so they will never get my business. Not to say all other companies are above reproach, but having an HTC my hand doesn't leave a bad taste in my mouth.

Boy do I agree with that. They are snobs and just like a lot of the world leaders who are getting their comeuppance now, i put money on Apples leadership starting a slow decline. Not to say they are going anywhere but from here on, "Apple name will not bring fame"

I got word from a guy who knows some other guy who shines the VZW CEO's shoes, and he said it was getting pushed back b/c the illuminati said the phone was to advanced for common folk.

Just trying to add a little levity...

That's interesting, because my best friend's roommate's girlfriend's cousin's dad knows a guys who's son is a stock boy at the Best Buy in Wooster, Ohio and HE says this phone will be released February 30.

Better get your umbrellas, I hear a Thunderbolt!

Yes, Apple is the closed company that 50% of current Android users are planning to switch over to.

Youve got to add that a LOT of users dont care what is closed off or restricted. The general populace sees: Phone that makes calls and texts, plus some other cool stuff with stuff they really dont understand. Not too many people care how, why, or how much access they have to the things that work on the phone.

HTC ThunderBolt may launch on March 3rd or 4th; unlimited 4G LTE data for $29.99 | BGR | Boy Genius Report

"Thanks, dbgoosby" Hehe. BGR is slow. We saw this an hour and a half ago. TSK TSK.

I know. I'm the one that posted the original here and then I shared with BGR.

Really? Photos or it didn't happen. If they are switching over to Apple is it because up to now they didn't want the crappy AT&T coverage and can now get real coverage on Verizon. It may be anecdotal but 2 out of the three Apple IPhone users I know are looking at switching to a Droid phone when they can. They basically say there is no longer a compelling reason to stay with Apple.

We have all been so darn foolish. If you saw the commercial with the lightning striking the tower and traveling down the cables to the phone, the release date becomes evident. The phone went back to the future!

Who ever said owning an Android device makes you a savy consumer, not me. If people want to jump ship to an Apple device that their business. I tend to not do things just because others are.
