    GPS without cellular service

    i took my Tbolt to eastern oregon on a road trip and was glad i had my garmin 60csx on hand as the Tbolt was nearly useless once signal was lost. The route had been pre-flown from my house and still no assistance in showing anything but fuzzy maps as mentioned by others. In fringe no-coverage...

    Life is good on the soggy Oregon Coast ; ) We should see the sun sometime in October. Tbolts are doing good also. Wife's is still set as VZW sent her out the store with all the updates on etc... standard battery. Mine w/extended and apps set to not update or very rarely and spb shell rather...

    Has the TB been a disappointment?

    no disappointment here w/my wife's and my Tbolts. yesterday was another flawless Tbolt-use day filled with about 6 hours of navigation help, 10 hours of winamp, and ~2 hours of web surfing on top of normal text/voice use. No complaints.

    Loving my Thunderbolt

    i do the same as what bjb mentioned above and just search the SD card through win-explorer on a WinXpro PC just as i would any other mounted HD. I did install HTC sync so now it automatically recognizes the phone. but i still get that darn VZW pop up i close out.

    Magical jump in battery life?

    wifi for our 2 tbolts helps allot, though we are in a 3g only area on the Oregon coast. also i'm still luving the extended battery. after 2+ days of heavy use my battery finally went back on a charger showing 28%...last charge 56 hours ago.

    How will Official Ginerbread look on the Bolt?

    i only _remember_ what sense looks like if i look at my wife's TB...since i've been luving spb shell on mine. i'm looking forward to the GB functionality though.

    HTC Thunderbolt Rubberized Case with Extended Battery Support

    just received my case today. very pleased. ditto on the pros & cons as mentioned by others above, though i am 100% pleased. ALSO, my wife's seido case (branded by Best Buy) for standard battery came with a holster and it fits this extended case perfectly. Not that i'll use it since i slip mine...

    Stuck between Tbolt and Droid Charge

    i TOTALLY like the "bulk" of the extended Tbolt battery. It makes a secure lip for hand/finger hold for one handed-thumb swiping for texting and such. Since using the extended battery after my first week of stock i rarely have to use two hands on the phone. i would not go back to the stock...

    So how many times did your TBolt reboot this weekend?

    DITTO except for one time when i think the radio switched from 3d to 4g and back all in about a 5 minute drive by the only 4g in Portland Oregon. I'm luving this phone!

    Why I chose the TB and why I am still glad I did, despite issues.

    DITTO on feelin' the LUV for my Tbolt and my wife is enjoying her's also! Would not trade if for the "other" 4G choice. Seen it, played with it, glad we went for the Tbolt!!

    Looks like our fearless leader got a response on the reboot issue from Verizon.

    both my wife and i installed the OTA within a day of each other. No reboot issues before the OTA. And the only reboot since was on my Tbolt today while using Google Navigation and GPS while driving in Portland this afternoon. When i looked at the hours since reboot i calculated that this was the...

    i've seen them both and like'em both. As a photographer i compare the differences like i would Kodak and Fuji film. Both are nice and get the message across.
