[Forum Game] New Thunderbolt goodie? UPDATE: One of us is right!

[NCX]

the htc maps with the preloaded cached maps is on the thunderbolt but I am not sure about HTC's navigation client. google navigation is thee and that rocks.

the HTC nav is better, it has better voice guidance and it integrates with your phone so you can use navigation and when you get a call, it doesn't take you away from your navigation screen and stuff... I hope they didn't remove it
Google Navigation might be nice but Locations (Navigation client) has the ability to search POI's and also store addresses, download new maps and voices.

Google Nav sounds far too robotic.... (yeah i know "DROIIIIID") but still, its one of the reasons i still use my Garmin over the Google Nav

is it part of the new sense?

is it part of the new sense?

yes, but every video i've seen of it at CES doesn't show it in the apps list

the new sense 2.0 was one of the main reasons i had assumed it was there but i got corrected by alot of people on the forums here and elsewhere that it wasn't

Places by Google was on it, but eh... I guess we'll find out soon enough

[rumors]

Basking Ridge is in NJ. Huge building complexes, many telecom facilities.

 

[jgraveyard7]

just looked up basking ridge, it is in the middle of nowhere for a HQ of a HUGE company.

"it is home to the old AT&T Headquarters, now owned by Verizon. Basking Ridge is the current headquarters for Verizon Wireless, Avaya, and Barnes & Noble College Booksellers" -Wikipedia

The Covenent

Pages and pages of data, over 999 of them in all. And on the perimeter of each...alignment symbols, registration marks, but they don't line up. Oh but they do, if you think like a vegetarian. An android intelligence's got to be more advanced than say an apple. That means efficiency functioning on multiple levels and in multiple dimensions.

two binary two we will all MARCH FOURTH and catch the arc of the thunderbolt.

Surprisingly multiple companies have an HQ there. I used to work for Sony and they had operations in Basking Ridge but HQ was in CA.

So we have:
Google Music, OnLive, and Netflix
March 10th
Best Buy will sell it a day before

Now we should ask for is a price, since it will require unlimited data, we will be grandfathered into the tiered data plan.

It sounds good

The only thing I remember reading said that BB might be selling it a day after Verizon, but I imagine it will be the same day.

 

[panicprone77]

I think Bennnn said after someone said it that people who pre-ordered from BB will get it a day early.

okay. That's understandable.
