got the thunderbolt

[UltraLNW]

I ordered it at midnight on release date. Special price from now till 19th was $249, but for some reason it was showing $199 inmycart. I tried promo code TWENTY and got the pricedropped by another $20. Total cost with shippong was $188!

Looking at one myself. Was going to wait a few weeks but may jump if the price is only good until the 19th.

I grabbed it yesterday in a corp store; negotiated the cost down to the Amazon price of $179.99 and walked away a happy guy.

Ordered this a.m. With my new every two discount and the promo code "TWENTY" it came out to 149.99. Of course tax is paid at the retail value but still a good price I think. Now the two day wait. Come on FedEx!

I still love my incerdible

Have the Thunderbolt in my hands. Very nice device - very very nice indeed. The only problem - no 4G in my area! I'm in Claremont/Upland/Rancho area. No 4G until 2013!

I guess that means I don't get 4G on my Xoom till them either.

I'm getting 10+ down & 20-30+ up hee in SD Bay Area.

Wow, that's great speeds, wildhawker. Is the phone all it's hyped up to be?

Nice. I work in CoCo so I should have 4g there. I was told by Verizon that the state capitol changed service to Verizon so the Sac area (am in W.Sac) should be getting 4g in 3-4 months as opposed to a year +. Mine will be here Tuesday

I love my Incredible but want to upgrade to a Thunderbolt. I'm a big fan of HTC products.

Unfortunately my upgrade isn't ready, so I might have to pay out of pocket for this one unless they'll let me extend my contract and get the upgrade pricing.

Thats how I got my BB Storm (seemed like a good idea a the time, POS). If you go in to a Verizon store, they may be willing to work with you.

Yeah I might have to stop by a location today. I talked to a sales rep at an Authorized VZW Dealer and they were trying to sell me on getting another line for $9.99 and using the upgrade on it and then transferring the phone to my existing number, yada yada yada...

[wildhawker]

So far, the phone is exactly what it was represented to be. I'm very happy so far. Call quality and clarity is excellent, with the caveat of being a little more quiet than I am used to.

We kinda did the same, our account's corporate discount got it for $179.99. Picked up one on Thursday for the wife and I went back and grabbed one for myself yesterday. Wanted to lock in the data plan before they jump to tiered 4G and figured I'd just do like I always do and buy any other phones I want in the next year off-contract.

Already rooted and S-OFF. HTC, I love you and your non-Moto ways.

Only complaint I have that I was fully aware of, it's thicker and heavier than my Droid X. It's perfect for my wife, but I only plan on using this device for a few months for myself. As I mentioned I only upgraded my line to lock in the 4G unlimited plan. There are some really hot devices coming, but only one or maybe two of them (think Bionic) may be before the 4G tiered plan comes, the others will definitely be after.

Went with the GF yesterday to inquire, unfortunately my account isn't eligible for an upgrade, but hers was. She picked one up.
