oh hey there Mr Thunderbolt that isn't coming. No dual core and no hdmi means it'll be outdated as soon as it's released though with the devices coming from Motorola , LG and Samsung. And hopefully that android 2.1 is a typo

If any of you are still interested, I've been trying to keep up with when the Thunderbolt might be getting released. I heard in-store that they were supposed to get a dummy model on 1/16, but they never received it. they were scheduled to get the test model this week, which apparently has held true, and have the phone for sale no more than 2 weeks after that. So from what I personally have heard, I would say that the Thunderbolt will launch at the end of Jan.
However, everything I can find online says that it is looking to be a month after that, the end of Feb.
There's a lot of info from the last week , and even the last two days, if you follow this Google link and check out the news section!

And I know this talks about more than just the Thunderbolt, but if you're thinking about the phone, this is a pretty great resource to see.

Sorry to even bring this up, but it's kind of sad that the Verizon iPhone is so outmatched. I know they are going to release a new one in just about 6 months, but there was WAY more potential for it after such a long wait to get it here. Anyways, it IS comforting to see that the phone I want beats out the iPhone in so many ways.
