HTC Thunderbolt Release Now Possibly Delayed Until March 16th

Well now, here’s the latest rumour doing the round over the release debacle that is the HTC Thunderbolt. Apparently the Android 2.2 Froyo touting Thunderbolt may have seen yet another delay making potential customers wait even longer.

According to an article over on the Examiner, Pop Herald is claiming that the HTC Thunderbolt could well see release on the 16th of March; the reason apparently is due to the release of the Apple iPad 2.

The Pop Herald post is claiming that Verizon is now planning on releasing the HTC Thunderbolt after the 11th although that’s not final, but their source has also stated that the Big Red is “avoiding long lines and cluttered stores,” and apparently “Verizon thinks March 16 is the perfect release date.”

Of course as always with this type of info, nothing has been confirmed by anyone that actually matters and should thus be treated as such, but surely Verizon can’t continue delaying the HTC Thunderbolt for much longer or risk every customer saying enough is enough I’ll go with something else.
