A thread to end all the hopes of others.
I went to best buy on my lunch break 12pm east. Asked for my Tbolt and they said Verizon has delayed it and no date is known yet.
So there you have it.
I got my $50 back because I really didn't even want to support Best Buy anyway, I hope they go out of business, I f*ing hate that store.*(not because they didnt have my tbolt)
Don't believe rumors other people post from talking to CSR. Lets face it folks, most people hired at Best Buy don't know their own head from their ass, so any info received from them is just be considered untrue.
Cool story bro.

OMG I can't believe this. So now instead of having tons of threads confirming dates we are starting threads unconfirming dates. Can't we just keep this to one thread.
For God Sake where is the MOD for the Thunderbolt thread!!

How do I get my $50 back? When I pre-ordered, they gave me a $50 gift card and a receipt. I went in yesterday to return it and cancel my pre-order. They told me they couldn't refund the gift card. Did you get the gift card too?

This is a thread to end all. No need to post in every "Tbolt releases Feb 14th thread"
Also mods on XDA don't do much here. With so many forums to moderate, and not enough mods, stuff takes awhile to be taken care of, if ever at all...
Your working you way on a ban with that talk,
Andrew has to mod two forums so don't complain

Take it to the service desk, say I want my refund because you lied and said my phone would be here and its the 14th and no phone. I want my money back and will take my business to Verizon.
You dont have to say all that, but you can just say you want your money back because the phone didn't show. Don't let them feed you any ****. Just start *****ing. Best Buy employees are dumb in general. They hire people that don't know jack **** about electronics.

The problem isn't the english used in the posts that is why I don't have a problem reading them. The problem is their existence and the unnecessary threads crowding of this section of xda. Although I guess complaining about it will bring no solution either so... I guess it will be what it will be.
It will settle down when the phone comes out.

Yea you are right... I guess the fact that i've seen all of these threads indicates i'm either really bored or i'm looking forward to this phone just as much as everyone else.

That program is a ripoff
For a phone under $350 its $40...
For a phone over $350 think it was $50-60.
Just another scam by best buy.
but for a $749 phone retail, 12-18 months later its worth 225 or 150 18-24 months which is why I think they're pushing it with the thunderbolt. For less expensive phones it obviously wouldn't be worth it as much

Said Mr. Pot to Mr. Kettle. You should have put the thread title in all caps. That would have made it even more inflamatory and likely to get people to read it. And there's no more risk of packages left without signature being stolen today then before you saw a news story. Unless of course this post and the news story put the idea in people who otherwise wouldn't have thought about's heads.

Or when they delivered $1500 printer in original box, with make, model, picture, etc on the box. They didn't feel like lifting it up 1 flight of stairs and left it by the door or a private house. And this is not in suburbia. It was basically sitting on a Brooklyn street.
Actually this is how my wifes Black Friday transformer was left and it has worried me since then. Since when was signature not required he norm.
Hey all if you don't mind giving me your address and estimated ship date I'll come by your place and "watch" for the package for you!!!!

i don't know why everyone has this idea like every thread should be should be something special.
i for one am glad to know this, i doubt it will happen to mine, but ill be extra careful.
blaziner, no offense but you are definitely the worst offender when it comes to creating pointless threads...lol. I will give you credit though, some of them have been oddly, and I mean very oddly, well received. You created the 'your hype level' thread, no? That was maybe the most pointless thread I think that I have ever seen created in all of my many many years on the Internet and yes I was an adult when the Internet first became popular (barely). That said people seemed to like it and wanted to come by and say how hyped they were on a scale from 1 to 10. How can you argue with that? Carry on my pointless friend.
I should qualify this post with the fact that I have also seen some constructive posts from you as well. Maybe not threads but at least a few posts. And I don't mean this post as an insult in any way either. I know it can sound that way sometimes on these internets.
Pretty sure the world ending would void the warranty, as that is an "Act of God" and specifically excluded from coverage.

Of course if the device is defective.. then it'll be different, but maybe its not exactly what you want (locked BL)
If you're looking to make 150-300$ profit, yet that much. Sell it. I've been paying attention to the ebay market and median price the prime is selling for is 680 in auction.

There have been some very real quality issues with this device. Particularly with the GPS (which MAY have turned out just to be a software issue, but may not be).
For you to write those issues off by saying that people were trolling is extremely irresponsible.
There has been some direct trolling, but the volume of the negative reviews have been from honest owners.
I appreciate the honest opinions here - it can be tough to fish out the trolls from the honest folk though.
Ah there are simply too many people that are looking for an ipad but buying the Prime, imho... And then there are many people that only look at the small things that arent perfect yet and not at the big picture.
I still have not found a big enough reason to cancel my preorder (ships mid january here) and there are so many people here trying really hard to ***** about this Tablet
On the other hand, if I was getting the TP mainly for GPS navigation in my car i wouldnt do it. But for the things i intend to do with it (surfing&youtube, watching movies, gaming _with a gamepad_ +emulators and text input), there's still nothing better and wont be anytime soon.

Well said. As for the people trying to make a quick buck by selling it on ebay good on you but if its defective that's just mean and PayPal could refund the item. Amazon is still the 12th and Ebuyer is 17 to 25 days..Ahhhhh
I opt'd to cancel my prime order...no gps and poor wifi performance... not for $600 so I canceled the dock and tablet order *sigh* am very disappointed...
I have one that I'm selling for $650 here locally on Craigslist in Eugene OR. I think I'm the only one in Eugene that has it. If I sell it I can buy a dock for my second Prime.

Good thing I'm selling it on Craigslist. Its funny how some people are oblivious to the Prime. One guy laughed at me and sent me a link to what he thought was the same tablet. It was the tf101 lol. Asking me why he should buy mine and not the one he found for $400. So I of course educated him a bit and told him off.

I'm sorry, but this really annoys me. At least half of the listings for screen protectors on Amazon that SPECIFICALLY STATE which Variant/model they are for have bad scores due to idiots buying them and complaining that it doesn't fit their phone because it's too small/ it's too big/ it has a square hole for a button that isn't there, blah, blah, blah....
Don't people do research and at least LOOK AT THE PICTURES or READ THE DESCRIPTION before buying something?
Sad to say .... no they don't. I wish they did. Too many people buy on hype or impulse.
I like to do my research and know the device I buy is going to last and the full potential will be achieved for the length I own the device.

When I bought my GSII the guy at AT&T thanked me for having researched what I was buying before I bought it. Makes the sale for them a lot easier when customers come in there knowing exactly what they want.
I rarely buy anything off pure impulse.
One of my favorites.... not phone related... was a guy who gave a 55" tall monopod I was looking at for a camera only 2 stars because although it was well made and shipped promptly, it was only 55" high as stated in the product title as well as the description and was a bit too short for his 6'2" self. I just had to comment on that one. I basically said, so you are knocking 3 stars off of this thing because it was exactly as it was described and you were too stupid to read it in the first place? He replied with a bunch of BS about how it wouldn't work for him; I replied how that is just like complaining about shoes 2 sizes too small hurting his feet. I don't think he ever got my point, he was just sure he was right.
My beloved prime after it was catapulted by my 10 month baby across the room (yeah, she's that strong, we call her Yetti behind her back).
Surprisingly enough, the bad mammajamma is still fully functioning (minus the fact that swiping your finger across those cracks will draw blood, the darn thing is razor-sharp).
Think I can RMA? (The prime, not Yetti)
I tried to nandroid-restore it, but it's still cracked, I'll write a *****en email to the dev with a feature request, "Please make option to restore broken screen or else I'll give you 1 star".
oh, and it made my GPS super-awesome now! I can see 4000+ sats now, some of them I can pick right through earth when they are right below me.
Yeah, no, it's a bummer, I wanted to lock my self in the bathroom and weep like a 6 years old girl who's Pony got hit by a truck.

Dude! omg, it's a brilliant idea, I didn't think about it, I might scoop some clams as a down payment for my future TF700.
So, if any xda members wanna buy fully working prime parts, I'm offering a spring-discount special for xda members only
otherwise I'll list the parts on ebay.
Thanks for the idea mate.

You could always ebay your Yetti ... i often think about the same.
That just hurts me from looking at it. If you can't scrap it for parts do you think a screen protector would prevent your fingers from getting cuts? If your into programing you can turn it into a test tablet for running and tinkering roms/apps.
Sorry man.
