If you were expecting the HTC Thunderbolt to come out to play on Valentine’s Day you were obviously disappointed, as it didn’t materialise, so just when is the Android 2.2 Froyo packing HTC Thunderbolt going to get into the public’s hands?

Well according to an article over on Phandroid the release date for the HTC Thunderbolt may just be February the 21st as the guys over at Android Forums have come across a Best Buy inventory shot which shows Verizon’s first 4G LTE device in stock on that date.

Apparently according to the tipster, Best But will offer the HTC Thunderbolt handset as soon as they have it unless they are told otherwise, meaning if they are told to hold off until the 24th, which is apparently the official release date.

Still if the inventory is correct, you just might be able to hit your Best Buy store in five days time and get your mitts on the HTC Thunderbolt, if not well it’s only eight days until the 24th so not that long to wait either way.

Any of our Android faithful readership hoping to snap up the HTC Thunderbolt on Verizon from Best Buy this month?
