I dunno what to do.....

So I recieved the TB yesterday and used it, I love it, it is such an upgrade to my pre2. Well I recieved the Rezound today, love the look, but noticed that the screen on the TB is actually better (IMO). I like the feel of the TB and it looks "more expensive." I had a horribl time getting the Rezound activated, then the emails wont sync up, I had to manually add them. And is it just me or is the screen actually narrower? The reception on the Rezound is better and I like it with the extended battery on it. Im not really sure what I should do, keep it for a few more days, send it back, or sell it to keep the TB. I really like sense 3.5 with the folders, and like the layout better than on the TB though. Decisions, decisions.

Erm...you had to "manually" add emails? We all have to add our email addresses and passwords on the email apps in order to have access to them. Aside from Gmail, none of them are linked to your Google account.
The screen is absolutely, positively better on the Rezound. There's no advanced display or high quality LCD on the Thunderbolt. The Rezound has better resolution, and better pixel density than any other phone available.
Also, let's not forget about the internals. The Rezound is sporting serious firepower with a dual core 1.5Ghz processor, and 1 GB of RAM. The Thunderbolt is single core, which is being phased entirely as we speak. Will the TB get ICS? I doubt it, unless some dedicated developers want to port it over.
Do yourself a favor and get the phone with a better screen, better hardware, better support, better picture and call quality, and better battery life. The Rezound.

Maybe he didn't use the gmail app and used HTC's email app?

Gmail app does work, but I also have an aol email and a school email. So id like for them all the be in the same place. In the email app I had to do the "other" email as when I tried it for aol and gmail it gave me an error, the vzw tech guy said he had no idea what it meant. Comparing them side by side, the rezound does look crisper, but everything on the TB looks bigger, i suppose becuase the screen is a tad bit wider. Outside brightness doesnt mean too much to me, as I am in an office all day. im gonna use the rezound for a couple days and see how it goes. Like I said, I like everything on it, except the TB screen is a bit wider.

The reason for this is not screen size, it's the resolution.
If you take a 720 video and play it on a 1080p monitor without stretching it to fit the screen, then the video will look smaller as well, even though they're both HD. This is because higher resolutions, essentially, mean more screen real estate. Everything is compressed and pixels are densely packed in order to create crisper and more vivid detail.

There's obviously a more technical explanation, so consider this the cliffnotes of HD Resolution 101.

Well after watching an hour of NFL mobile and playing games, I can see the difference. So now I would like a kickstand case, anyone have one? Im going to be using the extended battery, or regular too, so anyone have a kickstand extended case?

The Verizon store sells a case/holster combo for $30 and the case has a kickstand. It fits with the extended battery.

I'm a network admin and I have two users using the TB and the Rezound. Both the TB and the Rezound have 4.3" screens. Yes the Rezound is a touch narrower than the TB (and my EVO) but it's also a touch taller than the TB. I believe the reason the Rezound is narrower is to get closer to the 16x9 aspec ratio on HD movies. When I watch movies on my EVO (or TB) it doesn't fill then entire screen (there's a black bar on top and bottom) because the screen doesn't match the aspec ratio of the movie. I'm guessing that movies on the Rezound would fill the screen better. Also, I think the Rezound feels better in the hand than the TB since it's narrower.
