Thunderbolt.

IMO, definitely the Thunderbolt.

I really don't know why anyone would buy a 3G phone right now. I don't even live in a 4G area, but I still wanted to make sure my next phone was a 4G phone. Especially since Verizon is dropping the early upgrade option for the primary line.

The only reason I can think of to get the Incredible 2 over the Thunderbolt is the physical size. The price isn't THAT much more for the Thunderbolt.

That's just my 2 cents, though.

Size, feel, looks, better display (super LCD vs tft), way better battery life

Sit tight. Unless you absolutely must get a new phone, wait. Just read this forum. T-Bolt is obviously having some growing pains, but if OTA comes out and fixes the 3G/4g switching problem then that would seem to be the direction to go. Unless you are purchasing retail, you wil have the device for 2 YEARS. That's a long time to have a 3G device with new 4g devices coming out seemingly monthly. Flip side, the phone has to work. And judging from the traffic in this forum, there is enough evidence T-Bolt needs a few bug fixes. Had mine for 13 days, loved it while it worked. Felt like I was on AT&T when it didn't (dropping data and voice connections). If they work out the bugs, T-Bolt is the much better option. If not, Bionic?
Good luck.

Go with the ThunderBolt... it's the best of all worlds, mainly because you can do functions whether your on 4G or 3G... no other phone made after T-Bolt can't..

Thanks all.

Right now I think the order is wait then TB then Dinc2. But if the TB battery issues can't be addressed I'll probably just wait. I'll be in San Fran next week so hopefully I'll bump into Phil N. and see what his thoughts are. Once I decide, I'll be sure to post the outcome.
