Period. But unfortunately I broke the touchscreen, and went looking for a replacement. After much deliberating between the Incredible 2, and the Thunderbolt, I chose the Thunderbolt. Here's my thoughts.<br /><br />First off I mist say that contrary to other reviews, you CAN turn off the 4G connection if you want...<br />Settings > Wireless &amp; networks > Mobile networks > Network mode<br /><br />Pros:<br />LTE is blazing fast, touchscreen is bigger, HTC Sense version is slightly more intuitive, forward facing camera (which I never use, but if your a Skypeaholic, it's cool), kickstand is nice for watching videos or speakerphone use. Other than that, it's basically the same phone as the Incredible, only newer, and 4G.<br /><br />Cons:<br />A little more glitchy compared to the Incredible, battery life is poor (get the extended battery as it lasts for over a full day of use), on that note extended battery covers are lame for this phone, no trackball :( <br /><br />Thanks for reading folks!</p> <p><i>(Follow link to rate this review or report it to us as inappropriate.)</i></p> http://phonescoop.com/phones/p_forum.php?ff=3043 http://phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=3043&r=39659#review39659 http://phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=3043&r=39659#review39659 Wed, 24 Aug 2011 05:22:54 GMT <p><i>sgtpeppersband9 submitted this review of the HTC ThunderBolt:</i></p><p>Overall rating: <b>4</b> (out of 5)</p><p>I've had this phone for just over a month &amp; am very satisfied. Got it the day before VZW started capping data but that's another story. I've had the original MOTO Droid &amp; HTC Incredible. This is much better. Everyone needs to chill the F out the battery isn't as bad as everyone is saying. Just do your homework &amp; *#*#4636#*#* &amp; put it to CDMA only to keep battery life livable. With the new update just settings>wireless &amp; networks>mobile network &amp; put it on CDMA if no 4G. Even if there is keep it at this setting til you decide to use the browser or streaming video. Only time you need it. Great reception on this phone &amp; not the buggy animation you get with Motorola phones. Dual core phones are all hype as you can see with the LG Revolution &amp; Droid 3. Here's the breakdown:<br /><br />Pros:<br />1. 4.3" screen<br />2. Great DLNA<br />3. Speakerphone is activated just by being set face down while on a call<br />4. HTC Sense GUI<br />5. Netflix capable<br /><br />Cons:<br />1. Charging port set to where it can't be charged while kickstand is utilized<br />2. No HDMI output<br />3. Touch can get latened but fixed by a restart<br /><br />Don't know why people have WiFi or dropped call issues but there's nothing that can't be fixed by restarting the phone or removing the battery &amp; popping the SIM card cage up *no need to take the SIM card out*. And for your phone's sake do not *228 a 4G phone!!</p> <p><i>(Follow link to rate this review or report it to us as inappropriate.)</i></p> http://phonescoop.com/phones/p_forum.php?ff=3043 http://phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=3043&r=39633#review39633 http://phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=3043&r=39633#review39633 Mon, 15 Aug 2011 20:49:36 GMT <p><i>samizak submitted this review of the HTC ThunderBolt:</i></p><p>Overall rating: <b>4.5</b> (out of 5)</p><p>I am coming from the original Motorola Droid and have been very happy with Android as I am very Google centric (i.e. use Google Apps for primary email, have a separate gmail account, use google docs, use google voice for voicemail, etc.).

While waiting, I researched everything I could about this phone-the good, bad, and indifferent. I've had the phone for about 4 months now and wanted to get used to it (coming from LG Dare) before posting a review of it.<br /><br />Pros:<br />-Huge screen<br />-Snappy response, no lag between screens, phone navigation<br />-Sturdy phone-seems well built.<br />-4G speeds are awesome<br />-HTC Support is very helpful (much better than VZW's)<br />-Great camera<br /><br />Cons:<br />-Battery life could be better, but that's already been well-documented and was a known issue before getting the phone. It's manageable with the right settings (with light-moderate use, I still have 1/2 battery at end of day and charge it every morning).<br />-Data connection seems to be unstable using WiFi. It won't connect to a hidden network and after being connected, once the phone has been in 'standby' for a few minutes, once I come back to using the WiFi, it is very slow and unresponsive. I have to re-start the WiFi for it to work again.<br />-Screen Display is very difficult to see outdoors.<br /><br />I don't think the phone deserves the low ratings it has received since the things they're complaining about were known issues and well documented. As a phone, I have no complaints (although I wish they would hyphenate the phone numbers throughout), but as a computer, there's still some work to be done. Most of the issues I have with it are software related and the fixes they issue fix some things but cause other problems. Eventually they'll get it right (GB?). If you want a stable smartphone and aren't concerned about 'limitless' customization, then go with the iPhone. My spouse has one and while it has it's own limitations, it's a better 'computer' than the Tbolt (4G notwithstanding). PS: before purchasing ANY phone, do your homework, including pricing. I got mine for $175 3 weeks after it was released (and was selling for $250) because the GO WIRELESS dealer price-matched Amazon.com.</p> <p><i>(Follow link to rate this review or report it to us as inappropriate.)</i></p> http://phonescoop.com/phones/p_forum.php?ff=3043 http://phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=3043&r=39474#review39474 http://phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=3043&r=39474#review39474 Tue, 28 Jun 2011 14:37:11 GMT <p><i>kayleigh720 submitted this review of the HTC ThunderBolt:</i></p><p>Overall rating: <b>3.5</b> (out of 5)</p><p>I am a lover of HTC phones so I was stoked to find out the Thunderbolt was coming out.

I must say that the Droid X was a superior phone in many respects and I'm not totally pleased with the Thunderbolt.<br /><br />PROS:<br />+Awesome 4G data speeds<br />+Sturdy build quality<br />+Cool kickstand <br />+Great selection of Sense UI widgets <br />+Easier to customize than most phones which require root<br /><br />NEUTRAL:<br />=The screen is very mediocre quality<br />=The Sense Contacts and Messaging apps are oversimplified<br /><br />CONS:<br />-Reception is worse than the Droid X. More dropped calls and data dropouts.<br />-Call quality is poor at most volumes. <br />-Battery life is terrible, I average 10 hours per charge with medium use.<br />-Must lift the kickstand for the speakerphone to be loud enough<br />-The phone is very heavy/bulky<br /><br />All in all, I really want a 4G version of my Droid X, so I will be getting the Droid Bionic. The Thunderbolt may be the best 4G phone as of June 2011, when compared to the Droid Charge and Revolution, but it's lacking compared to the Droid X and X2. I would recommend waiting for a more worthy 4G phone.</p> <p><i>(Follow link to rate this review or report it to us as inappropriate.)</i></p> http://phonescoop.com/phones/p_forum.php?ff=3043 http://phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=3043&r=39345#review39345 http://phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=3043&r=39345#review39345 Mon, 06 Jun 2011 14:24:28 GMT <p><i>umpirerob submitted this review of the HTC ThunderBolt:</i></p><p>Overall rating: <b>4.5</b> (out of 5)</p><p>I've had my Thunderbolt for a few weeks now and I can't put it down. While the phone does have its flaws, you can't really complain too much because the phone overall just rocks!<br /><br />First, the drawbacks:<br /> - Battery life (to be expected and can be managed)<br /> - Charging port location<br /> - Lack of physical camera key<br /> - Random reboots (hopefully will be fixed with next software OTA)<br /> - Plenty of Verizon bloatware<br /><br />Okay, now for the goods:<br /> - "4G" LTE speeds (2 Mbps up/down in fringe 4G area outside StL, much better in the city)<br /> - 3G speeds seem pretty good, surprisingly.<br /> - 32GB Micro SD included - should be the norm for a phone like this, but it's not.<br /> - Zero lag between screens, lightning fast processor<br /> - BEAUTIFUL freaking screen!<br /> - Kickstand (I actually use this all the time)<br /> - Great camera<br /> - Overall design / build<br /> - HTC Sense and no Bing! <br /><br />I'm not rooted at the moment. I love what Sense brings to the phone - HTC is probably the only manufacturer that takes vanilla Android and actually improves on it. Samsung and Moto aren't there, yet. I use FlexT9 for my keyboard and coming from a physical keyboard phone, I actually prefer the touchscreen only interface. Juice Defender and a charging cord are necessary during the day, especially if you play Plants vs. Zombies for hours during the day, but as long as you turn the LTE, GPS, WiFi, and Bluetooth off when not in use, the battery actually performs fairly well. I use the low brightness screen setting which is still amazing and I've only run down to 15% battery once (5 hours of LTE &amp; YouTube will do that). This phone is a tad on the large size, but the back is nicely contoured and it feels great in the hand.<br /><br />If you want Verizon's "4G" speeds, this is the phone to have. Heck, even if you don't, you really can't go wrong with this phone.</p> <p><i>(Follow link to rate this review or report it to us as inappropriate.)</i></p> http://phonescoop.com/phones/p_forum.php?ff=3043 http://phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=3043&r=39307#review39307 http://phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=3043&r=39307#review39307 Sun, 29 May 2011 13:47:48 GMT <p><i>davibw submitted this review of the HTC ThunderBolt:</i></p><p>Overall rating: <b>5</b> (out of 5)</p><p>I recently purchased the HTC thunderbolt about one week ago and i am already impressed with the performance. My previous phone was the Samsung droid charge and was very disappointed, i took the first one back within four days, the sound quality was horrible and made a cracking and popping noise in head set, the replacement droid charge lasted one day and i took it back, and got the htc thunderbolt. <br /><br />Pros. the screen is so crisp and clear, sound quality is outstanding, I am on Verizon. the phone is so fast on the internet and off. Great phone, I have found the perfect phone for me. All the good reviews i have read about this phone are true.<br /><br />Cons, only one and that is the battery life, has to be charged daily, but the battery is running a powerful phone, the battery life is worth it to me.

Or log into Facebook and post it. Or go into your email account, compose an email and attach it. That's a lot of extra steps from a former MOTO Droid user. <br /><br />2) MULTI MEDIA MESSAGES - When someone sends you a picture message, HTC Automatically processes it with the SLIDESHOW software. The SLIDESHOW software, shows you the pic for about 5 seconds, and then closes it. If you want to see the picture, zoom in, etc - you have to Save it to your phone, and then go into it.. Kind of a pain for pictures you don't really want to keep. You can set the viewing slideshow options to longer than 5 seconds, but it reverts back on other messages. It also converts every SENT picture to this SLIDESHOW format, so if you are looking at your text log and want to zoom in on a pic, again you have to save it to your phone, just to zoom in, etc. NONE of your pics are viewable from your text log itself, you just see a lil icon that says slideshow. I reviewed tech bulletin boards &amp; the only way around the slideshow is to use an texting application from Android Market. <br /><br />TYPING:<br />In messaging &amp; email, the system has to predict every single word you type. On Moto droid, if you knew how to spell and type, you didn't have to see interruptions on every word. Sometimes I spell the word correctly and hit space bar, and it changes my perfectly spelled word to a completely different word!</p> <p><i>(Follow link to rate this review or report it to us as inappropriate.)</i></p> http://phonescoop.com/phones/p_forum.php?ff=3043 http://phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=3043&r=39274#review39274 http://phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=3043&r=39274#review39274 Mon, 23 May 2011 12:45:22 GMT <p><i>yev_m submitted this review of the HTC ThunderBolt:</i></p><p>Overall rating: <b>3.5</b> (out of 5)</p><p>PROs:<br />- features and user interface<br />- screen size<br />- speed (esp on 4G)<br />- features<br /><br />CONs:<br />- battery life in 4G areas<br />- some software bugs<br /><br />Got this phone a couple of months ago. <br />Absolutely love the product design.<br />It can do everything, and very fast (including playing the Flash videos), especially on 4G.<br />The screen is big and high-contrast, I like it better than of the iPhone because it's bigger. Resolution is not the only thing that matters.<br /><br />One huge disadvantage is the battery life when 4G network is available. It sucks all the juice out of battery even on standby.<br />It seems like the 4G circuit itself in the phone is a huge power hog. Luckily, I found a way (online, look it up) to lock the phone down to the 3G mode through the hidden test menu. <br />It does make the battery life similar to most smartphones. Not amazing, but tolerable.<br />I would have turned the phone back in, if I had not found that option.<br />-1 right there for HTC's and Verizon's apparent oversight.<br /><br />I took another half a point for:<br />- Back button stopping working sometimes (reboot needed)<br />- New message indicator not going away sometimes (reboot or new message received clears it)<br />- Sometimes unable to start typing the response to a text message (exiting the messaging app and coming back usually helps).</p> <p><i>(Follow link to rate this review or report it to us as inappropriate.)</i></p> http://phonescoop.com/phones/p_forum.php?ff=3043 http://phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=3043&r=39234#review39234 http://phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=3043&r=39234#review39234 Sat, 14 May 2011 22:29:53 GMT <p><i>REITdude submitted this review of the HTC ThunderBolt:</i></p><p>Overall rating: <b>4.5</b> (out of 5)</p><p>A long time Blackberry user (last phone was a Bold) I wanted more/better multimedia.

Even the BBerry storm did better than this. <br /><br />The battery is the worst in the world to most phones. The only reason I can give it a 2.0 on the scale is because I like the programming. For the average geek, it's a cell phone dream. <br /><br />Although it can be a little complicated to get used to, it can be quite fun once you get accustom to it. <br /><br />Drawbacks seem to be that darn battery. It looks like the wise choice will be the Iphone after all. Hopefully Apple with address the common 4G issues and come hard with something good to WOW us!</p> <p><i>(Follow link to rate this review or report it to us as inappropriate.)</i></p> http://phonescoop.com/phones/p_forum.php?ff=3043 http://phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=3043&r=39119#review39119 http://phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=3043&r=39119#review39119 Sun, 17 Apr 2011 15:46:27 GMT <p><i>ajs253 submitted this review of the HTC ThunderBolt:</i></p><p>Overall rating: <b>4.5</b> (out of 5)</p><p>Most of the negative reviews are complaints about the battery and the size. It is exactly like someone buying a Cadillac escalade or a range rover and then complaining about the gas mileage. <br />The thunderbolt is a large device with a very fast processor that requires a lot of its battery, and if you know how to deal with it, the battery delivers.<br /><br />Also, if you are not into larger phones then you will not care for the phone. But you can't knock it for it's size. YOU bought the thing! <br /><br />Now, this is a very advanced phone that does a lot. The 4g is blazing fast if you are in a 4g area, and the phone's screen provides a very large display for your fingers to work with. <br /><br />My only criticism of the phone is that the display should have had a higher resolution screen. 480 x 800 does not cut it for a device like this with a 4.3 inch screen.</p> <p><i>(Follow link to rate this review or report it to us as inappropriate.)</i></p> http://phonescoop.com/phones/p_forum.php?ff=3043 http://phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=3043&r=39116#review39116 http://phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=3043&r=39116#review39116 Sun, 17 Apr 2011 00:15:47 GMT <p><i>ferndog submitted this review of the HTC ThunderBolt:</i></p><p>Overall rating: <b>3</b> (out of 5)</p><p>I had this phone for such a short period of time. For me, I hated it. I did not have 4G so take that into consideration. The phone is just too big and the battery is way too small. <br /><br />Pro's. Browser is very good.<br /><br />Con's. Battery just flat out sucks and the screen is hard to see in daylight. Software is glitchy.</p> <p><i>(Follow link to rate this review or report it to us as inappropriate.)</i></p> http://phonescoop.com/phones/p_forum.php?ff=3043
