    Gingerbread keyboard question

    Quick question - will the Gingerbread update (2.3) allow me to change the keyboard and use the 2.2 keyboard? I really like the current keyboard. I tried the GB keyboard download from Market but just didn't like it. Input appreciated!

    Is 4G Really Worth It?

    Yes the phone is showing "4G LTE" and the speedtest logs it as "Lte" connection.

    Is 4G Really Worth It?

    I ran a speedtest at home with 4G and only got about 1.49Mbps in 3 tries. Does this mean I'm really NOT in a 4G area? The map shows I am but of course that can be off.

    Is 4G Really Worth It?

    My wifi at both work and home are nearly as fast as 4G and so I guess I'm one of the lucky people. 4G is definitely superior to 3G if you demand fastest response.

    Is 4G Really Worth It?

    I think 4G only matters significantly if you download and/or stream large files regularly. Internet browsing over 3G works just fine in my opinion, and most of the time I'm running on wifi anyways which is nearly as fast as 4G. Hence, I don't think I would pay more monthly fee to have 4G access.

    Thinkin' about gettin a Tbolt

    You really can't go wrong with the Tbolt since it has so many great features. This is my first smart phone that actually works as designed (Blackberry is NOT a smart phone imo) and I love the versatility.

    Power consumption (wifi vs. 3g)?

    Thanks for all the input. After running wifi at work (where 4G is spotty at best) as well as at home for a few days, my battery life seems to be much better than 3G in both locations.

    Who likes the new "3G" symbol after 1.70 firmware update?

    Who here likes the new enlarged "3G" symbol at the top of the screen after the 1.70 update? I wish the "4G LTE" was bigger!

    SD Card scanner

    If you hook up the phone to a PC via USB cord and mount the card as a drive, you can scan the card with the PC.

    Power consumption (wifi vs. 3g)?

    This question has been asked before but it was back in March so I wanted to get input from TBolt users who have direct experience. Which connection uses more battery - Wifi or 3g? Thanks in advance!
