Just back from the Verizon Kiosk in BJ's with more rumors, gossip and speculation. The girl there told me the TP 2 WAS released last week via soft release but was 'pulled back'. She also said the September 15 date has also been pushed back.
Don't know the accuracy of any of this but the girl was familiar with the phone and did say it will likely be out before the holidays. And of course since she was cute I believe every word she said.
