I just couldn't resist............had to stop by my local store on the way back home. They told me "yes, THAT DAY is tomorrow, 9AM"!!! They could not give any more info, when i asked, how many units they gonna receive, (they said, they do not have them in store as of yet - they have to be there early morning).......so, if I get there by 9, i can get one. Then, i asked - just tell me "many or few?" - they said, they cannot even tell me that!! :eek: So, i just bought a screen protector, car mount, and a case.....it would be pity, if i already got those things, and there will not be enough phones tomorrow morning.......what time everybody are planning to go to the store tomorrow morning? 6AM, 7AM? Maybe i should set a tent there tonight??>>>> :D

I pitch a tent right after I wake up, but that has nothing to do with this conversation...

Really... I was told by both my local Best Buy and Verizon they will have plenty.

Although I will most likely not be getting it, at least no right off the bat. Regardless of capped data usage I will be waiting for the dual cores, I cannot force myself to get the single core device.

Yeah but verizon said the same thing with previous launches and had quite the fiasco with the inc and x where they were backordered hopefully htc learned their lesson from the inc incident.

chick-fil-a right next to my vzw store. i'll be munching on a chicken biscuit and looking out the window waiting for them to open the doors. :)


haha good plan . I might do something similar the Verizon store in Downtown Denver is right on our outside street mall I think there's something next to or across the street from it where I could get my grub on while I wait

Inc was due to getting screwed by Samsung for displays. Droid X was they did not make enough, since they did not expect such a big demand for a big phone.

Traitor!!! JK :D
When there was iphone lunch, i did NOT notice any crazy lines...... :thinking:

When I spoke with the rep from my corp store, she said the same thing. I asked her what time should I be there to avoid a long line and she said there wasn't a line for the iPhone. I'd like to be first in so I'm going to show an hour before they open. If someone beats me to it, they deserve it!

Yeah there usually aren't any lines at iPhone launches:

I can't make it to my local VZW store until tomorrow night so I hope that they'll still have one for me! Luckily I live in a small town in which Im probably the only one who knows what an HTC Thunderbolt is.
