Thunderbolt Ad Attack

[madkillr05]

We will see this very soon, why would they be launching all these ads on dozens of websites (cnn.com) if the phone was /not/ slated for a release very soon. imo we will see this phone this week. Discuss

 

[jayishere]

I'd say Thursday, Monday, or Thursday.

Well remember HTC presents today at MWC, I would expect that they will have a solid release date annoucnement then. All of the adds suddenly appearing today is a good sign of that IMHO.

 

[jayishere]

Like 3PM eastern time correct?

 

[madkillr05]

They are def going to announce the launch info at there MWC presentation today, it would be stupid if they didn't, i thought their presentation was tomorrow though, i must be wrong

 

[ska.t73]

I believe that is correct, I've heard 3AM too, but that can't be right.

That is probably why I'm hearing the 3AM time, it could be tomorrow at 3AM EST... /shrug

Their facebook page says 16 hours, remember MWC is in barcelona, so the times for us will be different. Barcelona is 6 hours ahead of EST

Okay, so I'm going to ask a stupid question: What does MWC stand for? I get that it's a conference, right? Or......

DROID INCREDIBLE by HTC for Verizon Wireless - androidcentral

 

[jayishere]

hahaha. It's COMING

 

[Mahalo]

Good find, Tech Addiction.

 

[Little Green Robot]

Look at the top of the page. (Its a TB ad)

 

[BetaMan]

Well? Any news yet? The BB dude called me yesterday (Sunday) to tell me that they didn't get them yet for a release today. He said it would "probably" be pushed back to the 24th like everybody else seems to think. Hopefully, it will be before that though...

 

[madkillr05]

I think we will get the release date by HTC during their MWC Presentation.

 

[ThrillKill]

Verizon will announce the release date. They still have about 30,000 iPhones they can't sell because everyone wants the bolt

 

[madkillr05]

Htc rep said they are shipping thunderbolts this week, all signs point to a release this thurs-fri or thursday next week, giving 1-2 days for adverts.

they aren't even coming to best buy until the 21st so the earliest you could even possibly get is the 22nd. but you wont until the 24th.

 

[jayishere]

24th will probably be the release (as I broke ) but more than likely if there is no street date best buy will allow you to get it earlier.
