Are you glad to jumped to a Thunderbolt?

[jcjdoss]

I might be switching phones soon. Anyone have any regrets moving to a Thunderbolt?

 

[willymakit]

Nope love it,loved my X but I have no regrets.

 

[DroidXcon]

Not happy with the jump, waiting for the charge to come out

+1 I wanted to love this phone, but so far underwhelmed. Frankly aside from the camera I really liked my DX.....I've been reading up on DX2 and other assorted up and comers, I'll make a jump to one of those when they hit the pavement. Still waiting for a phone to knock my socks off.

I'm happy with it. There are some issues, but I would not trade it for any other phone on VZW right now.

I'm glad I made the jump to Verizon and the Thunderbolt. I came from AT&T and was using the Atrix. This is by far the best Android phone I have had since the Nexus One.

It's fine until something better comes down the pipes, but not good enough to hold onto for the whole year or more.

Loving every minute of it.

I love it but there are a few issues bugging me (Words with Friends is super buggy, my G-mail doesn't always come in, occasional sound issues) - but it's still better than any Blackberry I've owned!

That to me is an endorsement. Supposedly the Atrix is the "most powerful" phone on the market right now. To me it just shows that dual core probably won't make a big difference. It's the network that matters for the time being. Now a quad core on LTE... that will be amazing. However that probably won't be out until about this time next year.

Wasn't it that the cores dont matter until GB? or beyond, because froyo doesnt utilize the other core. So def doesnt matter since there is a software restriction

great phone i left my droid x and i am not looking back

What aren't you happy about.

I'm actually really surprised to hear that, maybe I'll just keep my Fascinate and pray to the God of Empty promises that we see some source code for froyo and Gingerbread

Nope love it,loved my X but I have no regrets.

Would you say that you were just as happy with your DX

I'm happy with it. There are some issues, but I would not trade it for any other phone on VZW right now.

What issues are you experiencing

I'm glad I made the jump to Verizon and the Thunderbolt. I came from AT&T and was using the Atrix. This is by far the best Android phone I have had since the Nexus One.

AT&T was awesome when it was Cingular, jumping ship a year ago was the best move I ever made...congrats

Like I said earlier, AT&T blows. The carrier does make the difference. Once all the LTE stuff gets standardized, our phones will be unstoppable...except for datacaps

poor notification system, ex. notifications that are not even there, lack of notifications that are there. jittery UI, dropping out of 3g/LTE, hand off is forever. hanging on edge for very long periods of time while in a LTE location,.SMS bugs. Button placement is for a lefty. very heavy , Horrible battery life. The PITA method of rooting. The auto root i wrote for this is Huge then to include 2 OSpackages on top of it makes a monster file, thats not even including the unroot packages. The LED light is useless, glad it has it but i wound up just using noled app anyway. Then the downgrade from OLED screen to this is depressing. Not to mention i cant use my kickstand and charge at the same time, Who thought this layout was a good plan

YIKES, that was more than I was expecting. Do you expect these to get worked out with updates or are some of these hardware issues?

I have a Fascinate, should I stay with it? What would you go to at this very moment if you had a Fascinate? You use to have one...correct?

I always wonder if dual core is overkill for a phone.

 

[ThomasT626]

Best Android phone I've used. Going to sell my Epic 4G and pay the Sprint ETF. This phone is amazing and hopefully an update or two will solve some of the few nagging issues many of us have with the phone.

I would imagine Verizon & HTC are working on an update. (Fingers Crossed)

 

[Droid_Evo_8]

Coming from AT&T's iphone 4, hell ya I'm more than glad that I jumped to the Thunderbolt.

Oh and i forgot the random reboots.....

I imagine that most of these things will be fixed by flashing a new rom and kernel, and im sure that the update will bring many fixes.
Im not saying this is a bad phone i mean its great for what it is. i think i was expecting more from all the talk and i was just underwhelmed.

Yes of course i had a fascinate till i got to comfortable lol...

i am waiting for the charge and bringing back the TB as soon as its out.

if i were you though if you worry about a contract i would wait till the Galaxy S2 is closer to coming out. Or i would just give TB a chance its a good phone just not for me
I buy off contract so it do.esnt matter to me.

Dual core will do great things for battery life so when it is actually useful it will be great

Contract is not an issue, I am going to trade my Fascinate, Moto Droid, and Palm Pre Plus. So I should be able to get almost anything...hopefully. (Sheepishly) I am even considering iPhone too, but that is for another thread

In all honesty it really depends on your personal situation. I mean someone from Kansas is going back to the iPhone because they simply can't use the Thunderbolt in their location.

I've not had one single issue since I've had the phone. I had one random reboot and that was about the time everyone else had one as well. That has literally been the only "bump" in the road. I live and work in solid LTE coverage so I really don't have the 3G/4G issues that some people here have. And there are some people that live in solid 3G (no LTE) areas and don't have any issues.

So I know that people come on here to try and get help, but with a phone like this, it really is best to just analyze your own situation and decide if it's the right phone for you. If you think it is and it doesn't turn out to be, well that's why you have a 14 day return policy.
