Thanks to the Best Buy, Grand Rapids South location, we now know the launch dates for both the Motorola XOOM, and the HTC Thunderbolt. The XOOM tablet is expected on February 24th, and the Thunderbolt launches on the 14th.
We previously reported that the XOOM was due on February 17th, so we're sorry to report that it will be another week after that. But we know you don't mind waiting. Isn't the expectation half of the fun?
As for the Thunderbolt, the launch on the 14th is on track with our previous estimates. This possibly premature post by Best Buy could be in error, but we think it's more likely that they were just too excited to keep it to themselves. And for that, we thank them.
Mint Mobile is now allowing you to get whichever plan you like for either three, six, or 12 months for just $15/mo. If you go for the six-month unlimited service, for instance, you'll now have to pay just $90 upfront instead of $210.
