HTC Thunderbolt Comes Second to the iPad 2

Maybe we really saw this coming, after all the signs. There was talk, rumors and speculation of when the Thunderbolt was going to be released. Date changes, none of which were very accurate or true. I mean, just check out this tweet from VZW back on 02/17:

True story though – I even had a friend say he’s getting the Thunderbolt, and I quote – “This week” – That was last week, poor guy, his world came crashing down when he couldn’t get his hands on one.

Well, Verizon apparently felt it was more important to get the iPad 2 out to the world first. And since we now have March 11th as the date of the iPad 2 launch, we can start guessing again as to when the Thunderbolt will strike!

So when do you think this latest Android phone will be fortunate enough receive a release date? I’d very much like to see Verizon’s first LTE smartphone released soon. If not for me, at least for my good friend, who’s just waiting to upgrade from his original Motorola Droid.

    Vzw is giving us long time droid customers a back seat to the newly acquired apple. I don’t like this one bit as I have spent 1000s of dollars on equipment alone in the last year at vzw for android, not to mention the 180 a month I also pay. Vzw just giving apple to go ahead to run the company is not right to the customers who are already there, we know apple is hurting and their stock is falling but that’s no reason to bend over backwarss for them. I have harsh feelings towards verizon now and I am on the fence if I am going g to continue service with them. The first black mark for me was the pushing of the droid over superior phones and the lask of support and manipulation on the fascinate, just been going downhill since then…
