HTC Thunderbolt Official Specs

[anon(75289)]

its not a "sleep" feature, it's actually a "hibernate" feature. The difference is that sleep continues to use a small amount of power to keep the system in main memory and hibernate puts the current state into hard memory and doesn't require power. Which makes it exactly like a windows computer. You can do as many hibernates and wake-ups as you want, even plugging it in wont disable the wake from quick boot. But just like windows, restarting every now and then is a must.

Also I have a feeling they have it set up so that when you pull the battery it will do a fresh boot instead of a wake from hibernate, not because hibernated requires the battery, but because then they don't need a another button to do this.

I've read that you won't be able to log into htcsense.com to control (wipe, locate, etc.) the thunderbolt like you can with the desire hd. I wonder why?

so im gonna say it. you were right. here is the email i recieved back from htc about the sense.com

Dear jordan

Very good question
I would be more than happy to provide you with a little more insight.

At this point in time, HTCSense is still undergoing further development and testing. We've run into major problems that will probably not be fixed before the Thunderbolt is released; this is why only two phones, thus far, have the necessary version of HTC Sense to work with the site. We feel that the site is not stable enough to handle the additional traffic. Due to this, the Thunderbolt most likely will not initially be able to interface with HTCSense.com -- Once the site is a little more stable and able to handle more traffic, and once we've worked the bugs out of it, we'll be looking to expand the list of phones that will work with the site. As the Thunderbolt is going to be among the first of Verizon's 4G phones, I can only guess that this phone eventually would be made compatible -- however, this is something that is left up to Verizon. We would be more than happy to forward this suggestion to the people at Verizon, so that they know that people looking forward to the Thunderbolt would like to be able to use HTCSync.com.

Oh God, leaving the decision up to Verizon could be a double edged sword. *smacks forehead*

thats what i said. man verizon could not care to be apart of a website controling devices on ther network

 

[edoublediz]

omg, that pisses me off so bad. sense.com compatability is something i was personally looking real forward to. to be honest, i really dont know if i can buy without confirmation of it being added at some time. leave it to verizon, they almost always find a way to f every release up.

 

[I am Fake Jesus]

well it pisses me off. so i sent verizon an email asking an explaining how much this matters to a customer. i also asked for release date an pricing lol

In this case, I really do hate to say it, but you so.

Verizon wants you to use their resources so they have you locked in I always skip their backup tool on Android.

i don't like verizon's backup tool.

The ONLY reason why I want to use the new Sense UI is for the things that sense.com can do. If it seriously doesn't end up working with sense.com... HELLO Cyanogenmod!

I HATED the old sense. And I really don't like the new sense's look either. I was hoping that sense.com would have more themes than just the ones that were shown in the CES vids and that I'd find one I could deal with.

Bringing this thread to the surface!

Why not update the first post with more details. Such as the model # of Snapdragon being used.
