Default Pricing Confirmed by Best Buy Flyer, Don't Get Your Hopes Up

http://www.droid-life.com/2011/02/11...year-contract/

Quote:
Well check “pricing” off the list of things we wanted confirmed for the HTC Thunderbolt. Best Buy plans on selling the device for $249 on new 2-year contract, a price we had heard before, but are seeing officially for the first time in next week’s ad. Oh, and a full price of $749 is also confirmed. Yikes.

good info but i think most people here want to know release date and if there will be an up charge for 4g service more than anything else.

I'm really disappointed with the $749 price tag. Hopefully Verizon offers it cheaper online.

This supports the 14th because the flyer doesn't say coming soon

Exactly.

Let's do some thinking. DroidLife says that this Best Buy ad is due for the week of the 20. Although we don't see a February 20th date on the ad (or at least I didn't) let's presume that it IS the Best Buy ad for the 20th for a second. Okay, notice how the ad DIDN'T mention anything about preorder; this confirms that the Thunderbolt will already released and therefore ensures a February 14th or 17th launch at Best Best even if Verizon and other third party vendors don't sell the phone on those dates for whatever reason.

I hope this is right, I want this phone and I'm going t terminate my current line and sign up for another two year, its still cheaper than the 800 you would hafta dish out for the phone

You know what makes this worse? They are missing half the ad and probably the release date when they took this
