Just several minutes ago this was posted by HTC on their facebook account. Looks like the Thunderbolt release date is just around the corner. Seems like the rumored Mar. 17 or 21 could be the day!

Now, is this the same soon they've been promising for months or a new kind of soon?

Kinda hard to believe at this point -

How do you get March 17 or 21 out of that FB comment?

I'm not even that interested in the phone, so I've just been enjoying the show.

Sorry I got those dates from other reports, was just speculating... That's why I said "could be the day"

[furbearingmammal]

So much speculation. I wonder if the girls are getting scared.

Here's one of the articles about the 17th being a possible date Verizon Approves Thunderbolt for Sale Pending HTC Agreement, Rep Tweets March 17th Launch Date | Android Phone Fans

Depending on how HTC responds to Verizon’s conditional final approval of the device...

So this source says it's Verizon holding it up. Hmm. Makes sense if performance on the network isn't optimal. Also makes sense if the battery sucks because they don't want to have to send a few thousand units back for refurbishment in the first couple of weeks -- who would? -- or they want to avoid a lawsuit.

Interesting.

Drama? I love this drama. I spend more time at DF during the day reading all the posts about the TB. My second most used on batter stats was on DF today
Heck I even follow BMX on twitter now bc of this drama lol.

I suppose this phone looks pretty much like the EVO 4g? I just looked at a EVO today and I must say it looks really sharp and a lot thinner than I imagined. I'm holding out to see Samsung Stealth, LG, and last but not least Bionic before I make my decision. Also just like how when I first got my Droid there were growing pains. Mostly I think I (consumer) felt the pain more than Motorola or Verizon.
