JMHO .... Go Launcher does more than sense 3.5 ,,,, so why wouldn't Sense 4.0 work on the Bolt. I think the Thunderbolt is faster in some ways than some of the newer phones. I am on #4 of 5 Bolts & had the Bionic & Rezound as a replacement ..... seriously the Bolt may not be as fast, but a really good Bolt is better than a good Bionic or Rezound .... JMHO
I don't know what did it, but the Rezound had serious speed problems running Go Launcher EX. The Bionic had a lot of pausing & 4g issues. Maybe I had a defective Bionic, but the Rezound had other issues with simple apps. Besides the Go Launcher issue, I had issues with some other apps lagging. I think the Bolt engineering wise is better than most till this day. I am not a Bolt Fan-boy, but am looking at things from experience. I have like 68 apps installed on my Thunderbolt & it truly handles it well
They have cut costs on these newer phones in more ways than is expressed
I get more disappointed everytime I look at the Samsung Galaxy Nexus .... Now the specs have removed the FM radio
I really don't I am going to upgrade for a long time! ICS still does not offer as much as Go Launcher or some other front end apps!
ICS doesn't really mean that much to me
