HTC Thunderbolt Possibly Launching in April


I would end up waiting for the Next HTC verizon android phone at that point. Maybe a verizon Pyramid thing.

The only thing I dislike more than "news" articles based on wild rumors is "news" articles based on speculation.

It's so easy to be a tech writer - you just make up ish.

No.

 

[theacoustician]

That's a large amount of unsubstantiated conjecture.

Also, HTC said the hardware is done and shipping. That means it's sitting in *someone's* warehouse right now. Storing things costs money. Selling things makes money. They are not going to warehouse a product for over a month.

That is exactly what I was thinking when I read that article. They are just trying to stir the pot to get more hits on their website.

That was what I thought when the Android Guys were reporting a delay from the 14th.

Understood, but as theacoustician stated. HTC supposedly has already shipped out the phones. They are not going to sit on them that long if they have to especially since it could just be a software update down the road, if I'm reading it correctly.

Yet here I sit posting here with no phone even though they were "shipped" last week.

What they heck did they use the USPS?

I still think by the first week in March this phone will be in-hand.

No reason to wait any longer. iPhone has had it's chance to fail.

LOL, I think that the holdup is definitely Verizon and not HTC based off of the fact that Best Buy had to have gotten dates from Verizon to push the ads.

Sounds like what everyone was saying around the 10th for the 14h launch and the 21st for the 24th launch lol

I don't buy it, at all

The only thing that can be said (within reason) is April is a LOT more likely than February, but less likely than March. I have always guessed first week of March, so sticking with it.... even though mid March may be more likely.

Is Vegas taking an over and under on this?

 

[jayishere]

April is only more likely than Feb because it has more days left in it
