Our friends over at Erictric may have stumbled onto something quite interesting â€" a release date for the much hyped and sought after HTC Thunderbolt, LTE equipped Android phone. The tipster pre-ordered an HTC Thunderbolt through his local Palm Beach Gardens, Florida Best Buy store. Said tipster claims to have had just received a phone call from the Best Buy manager regarding his pre-order, stating that he could pick it up Monday, March 21st in store. Furthermore, the Best Buy manager also re-iterated that Verizon’s LTE plans will cost the same as their current 3G plans.
We’ve heard both ways concerning Verizon’s LTE data plans being more expensive/the same as their current plans. So this could very well be true. As for the actual release date â€" we’ll have to wait and see. For now, we’ll have to take the Best Buy manager’s word with a grain of salt, regardless of how confident he is. Either way, we want one sooner rather than later.
