Tbolt delayed until 28th?

Mod, where are you?

Right here. Ironically enough, NO ONE thought to report this post at the first sight of mudthrowing?

In the future, the easiest way to get a Moderator's attention is to click the

button. Trust me, we all see it and whomever is available will get to it first.


Like I said, ironically enough, no one has reported this thread and I've now spent nearly an hour cleaning it up. This has resulted in MANY warnings and infractions being issued.


A few points to mention. The forum does NOT have a "Grammar Gestapo" and in fact, the Site Rules say EXACTLY this when it says:
Forum Rules said:
Also - do not take it upon yourself to play Grammar Nazi. If someone's post is literally so bad you cannot understand it, fine - ask them to rephrase. But do not nitpick and ruin threads just to show how high-n-mighty-like you can be.

I would STRONGLY advise that everyone reread the Forum Rules and Zero Tolerance Policy.

These are STRICTLY enforced and are expected to be followed.

Personal attacks of ANY kind are also not tolerated.



Over EIGHTY useless and rude deleted posts.... absolutely amazing that ANYONE feels the need to treat other users the way that some of you have in this thread.


Let me make this VERY VERY clear. I see it again and you can find a different forum to join.

The Cubs have more of a chance of winning the World Series than the TB has of releasing on the 24th. Let us revisit on 2/24 to find out :)

I suppose the usual deniers will hold fast until 11:59pm ;) Kind of like the "Droid 2" was releasing late last year and folks believed it. Please show me one place where there is a public statement by VZW that the 24th is the date.

added:

In the TB's defense, at least it IS real :)

I actually did click report on a few, and nothing happened until now. Although I see that a few of mine were deleted, so apparently I was a problem as well. My bad.

What I meant by this, is that I got the box that says its for reporting spam, rude posts etc. And after I filled it out and hit submit, my cursor just spun . I'm not saying no one did anything about it, just that my computet wasnt playing nice.

Looks like they never went through. :( Thank you for attempting though! :)

I have not gone through all the deleted posts to see which ones yours were... Feel free to relist anything relevant and on topic that you may have said (politely and without mudslinging of course). :)

I'm OK with the 28th release. And it makes sense (2.0 lulz) from a Verizon business perspective. Outside of us phone geeks, the average person that walks into a Verizon store probably has only a vague notion of Android & Skype and will probably want an iPhone anyway. To tell a prospective customer "Yeah, it's on your phone, but you can't use it until next week. And then you need to download it and configure it!" would be a major turn-off of for the average customer. It's probably better if the Verizon salesperson pitches the phone that's already Skype enabled and is able to configure it for the customer if requested.

Verzion Johnson City Tn said 2/24/11

@Kelmar: Ah so that explains how this thread got so small, haha, thanks.

Just to show you guys I was serious about the skype mobile not being on the Thunderbolt here is proof since everyone didnt believe me.

Sorry about picture being turned sideways idk why. its up and down on my computer.

Skype is baked into the Sense UI. It is also a major selling point for this phone as seen on HTC.com and Verizons website. You're "claim" is talking about how there is a possibility that Skype Video Chat will not be available on launch, but will come with a OTA update.

100% sure it will have Skype at some-point.

FO' REAL.
It actually does not say it won't be on the phone, it says the FEATURE will not be available. So could it not be baked into the rom and just not activated? I did not see it say it would never be available tho.
