I just called and talked to multiple CSR's and out of the 4 I talked to none of them could find anymore information or confirm anything other than BB's pre order and the fact that it will release with mobile hot spot.

I just asked Verizon through online live chat ... here's the response:
Please hold for a Verizon Wireless sales representative to assist you with your order. Thank you for your patience.
You are now chatting with '********'
********: Hello. Thank you for visiting our chat service. May I help you with your order today?
You: Hi ******** ... good morning ... I was hoping the HTC Thunderbolt would be on sale today. I wanted to renew my contract by purchasing this phone. Do you know if it will be released today? If not, has a release date been set?
********: Good Morning.
********: Unfortunately, we have not been given any information on the release date.
You: Ok ... thank you very much
********: Your welcome.
Yeah , they told me next week.
I posted yesterday that for the last five years I can't count the times that vzw & bb CSRs have lied to me about release dates of new phones.

They read rumors off the internet and many of them do not seem to be able to ask the higher ups if rumors are correct, they will just tell them what you have read on blog sites of people who are not in the know.

Same. They don't know much info at all. They're not as passionate about these phones as we are. It's just their job, and it's our hobby.
They will say anything to sell you a phone.

I had slim hopes as well. Sorry, but there isn't going to be a surprise release of a phone without at least a few days notice.
The Verizon chat representative was probably going, "Hey Sa'irah, I'm so sick of people asking about the TB, lets get this guy going. 'Yes, the TB will be available to order tomorrow.' 'Yes, you'll be able to purchase it as well.' ".

How sad is it knowing that with it now being June 4th (at least here on the east coast) we still don't have our EVO 3D like the first rumor said? I should be camping outside my Sprint store waiting for them to open at 9am.
Ok now let the flamming begin! I'm just bored and it crossed my mind that today should've been the day :/

Christmas is June is always awesome! Finally get a present for myself instead of for others lol. Although I don't know about being worried that the places will run out of phones. I remember par year when I went to get my EVO the waiting list was 3 months, and that was for the people that did pre order. The ones that didn't had a longer wait. I ended up called Sprint and they had one to my house within a week. But when I pre ordered my E3D I was second on the list and I just did it Thursday. And I've read that others are on the top of the list and there detente a lot of people on the list. That's kinda got me worried about how well the phone may do.

No, they can just delete the whole goddamned section.
"HTC Evo," as a branding, must have really worked out. The Evo4G section (during pre-launch) was nowhere near as fncked up IRT all of the dupe threads and crazy ranting and impatience...I suppose HTC did real good in that regard.
As has been expressed many other times by many other people (and I won't open a new thread to say it): I can't wait for the goddamned thing to be released so the Development section can get fired up and I can hang out in there again.
I never visited Q&A for the 4G once it was released. I can only imagine that the dev community will be at LEAST as thriving as the 4G's considering the unlocked bootloader and the massive amount of interest that seems apparent given the flooding on the Q&A section with obvious noobs.
I know man, i'm with you. I cried a little inside, this morning.
I never even got the HTC EVO, i'm still running the Touch Pro 2 on windows mobile. Can you say slow?
Think how excited i am for this thing to come out!

Don't hold your breath lol
I'll cry on June 24th. That release date was way too much of pipe dream. Anyone that got their hopes up was just asking for a let down. It was way too soon after pre orders. If June 24th comes and I don't have my Evo from Radio Shack, thats when I take my week vacation from work, stuff my ass like a bear in winter and go into hibernation. Yep.. Thats the plan.
So I was helping a guy at the home depot I work at. I saw the Guy had a S2 skyrocket and asked him how he liked it, then I showed him my Note I just got. Turns out he works for AT&T corporate. He new about the Note but wasn't really familiar with it, so I got my gadget geek on and showed off what the Note can do and then talked about the network around Atlanta.
So I went into work for an hour today to help out on a special order and I had a message with a contact number. So I call and it's someone from at&t, she told me that Guy I helped was so impressed with my knowledge and passion on mobile that he gave the info he had on me to her. Now she wants me to come in and discuss opportunities with business sales. It's face to face stuff mostly (not a call center).
Update: Got an interview on Tuesday at one of their corporate offices.
Update2: So I interviewed with them on Tuesday and it went very well. They said they have some in house promotions about to happen in a few weeks to a month and they would be contacting me again when they know more about the upcoming opens on their floor. It would be a 8-5 job with base salary and commission with business sales in the mobility division.

I could sell the sh*t out of some phones. Haha. It's funny how uninformed the sales clerks are at some stores. I literally saw an At&t employee trying to sell an iPhone to a guy based purely on Siri, and couldn't even get it to work. Her explanation was that "it just doesn't work sometimes, but it's still a really great feature"
Sad thing was, the guy walked out with an iPhone that day. If only I could have saved his poor soul...

I think the last thing on Sprint's mind right now is the contest, they have big issues right now. Having your flagship Android phone blocked by customs is a scary thing, they're losing pre-orders everyday the phone is held up.

What contest??? Evo LTE contest?
He's talking about the galaxy nexus "Datastorm" contest from about 2 months ago I presume. My understanding was they don't typically release names, but you can (snail) mail to request the list of winners.
I think that most of these contests are bunk, I entered one around superbowl time for one of the new thin super laptops from asus.
As soon as the super bowl was over the ads all but disappeared, they said they'd announce the winners on facebook, I checked for two weeks from the time they said they'd announce it but it never happened.
Could it be some sort of marketing tactic? To just say your giving something away but put it in the fine print that it's all bogus, come to think of it I have never actually read ALL of the fine print.
While we're waiting for our phones, I thought I would start a thread where we could just talk without worrying about going off-topic. If you want to talk about how other phones compare to the Evo, rant about rotten fruit and the vegetables that use them, etc, than this is the place.
Just please remember that all of the forum rules still apply here though.

lol, I've been preparing for this moment for a long time
My ex old lady used to always say she thought I was psychic afterall, or was it psycho.. don't remember
I've been having problems with my OG Evo for like a month now. I didn't know about the charge dock problems even though I'm always here flashing new roms. I was anxiously waiting for the new one and then all of this happened. For a while, I was seriously considering cancelling my order but then I realized that that would be a win for Apple and I could not contribute to their gain. I decided to wait patiently for my phone.
In terms of the patent I think its BS, and this is coming from a software engineer. I don't want to go deep into that discussion but working with code is a whole different ballgame.
In terms of the whole GS3 vs. EvoLTE vs. iPhone5 thing, I think both the GS3 and the EvoLTE are good phones. I don't know much about the iphone5 specs yet. What I can say is that apple products are not that unarguably better overall for them to have so much money and crazy fanboys right now.
The best apple product was the iPod by far. It revolutionized the industry. Everything else from there has come off branding. You can argue about the OG iPhone and iPad being nice too but that feels like a century ago. Like I said, everything else is marketing. Its funny people buying expensive macs just to log in to facebook and serious customers run parallel half of the time to use windows programs.
Right now, we have competition and we have android developers working their a** off to get a small share of the pie and that's why I can't cancel my order. After I read this, I was shocked by how this blind fanaticism is hurting the industry around the world. I don't wanna be a part of that. Like I said, some Apple products are great, but they are not unarguably so ahead of the curve for them to be squashing everyone that easy. My two cents...
