1) Battery:The TBolt works great with its extended battery.
2) OS Upgrade Soon: The ThunderBollt, which you compared it to, was the FIRST... FIRST... FIRST 4G phone to get a GB update on VZW. Did I say FIRST?
3) I think the HTC hardware is the best. Different strokes...
I should add... I'd be buying the Rezound in a heartbeat if I weren't so happy with my TBolt. I like it a lot better than the upcoming Galaxy Nexus and Droid RAZR. High specs, removable SD Card and Battery (buy more!). What else?

#1 - An extended battery - sheesh,compared to the other models coming out this sucka is already THICK, toss the extended battery pack on this and I'll need to get bigger pants pocket
#2 - It was the first, but can you say BUGGY, BUGGY, did I say BUGGY?
#3 - Agreed, to each their own.
I had fallen in love with TB when it came out, but honestly it never met my expectations. I'm not on Charge and it outperforms the TB. The TB was buggy since the upgrade, while others have mentioned issues with Charge, it's not given me one bit of problem - only irritating issue is the blue tooth audio, sounds like crap, TB beats pants off the Charge in this feature.
If this phone came out 3 months ago it would have been considered SEXY, but coming out now against RAZR and Nexus, well this leaves me not feeling the love.
I'm waiting to see how each of these new 3 perform and will then make the jump, but HTC burned me with the TB and as they say, burn me once shame on you, burn me twice shame on me....
