I have my thunderbolt ...

What's that nice bump in the top right corner of the backside?

 

[RetiredJedi]

lol yup but its the same as they released with the iphone. not sure if you can lock it in with a 2 year contract tho.

I know what some people think VZW Reps, but I called my local store and the rep. told me on the phone that the $29.99 unlimited data package is good through your entire contract. If a tier plan comes later on we will be grandfathered in with what we have now and our contract will not change unless we change it ourselves.

You can, it's $29.99 for data.

Looks like that's where the headphone jack is.

 

[paulmike3]

that doesnt make any sense

its limited in the sense that they will throttle your speed if you use too much, but that's still "unlimited" amount

I think he meant "unlimited data for a limited time". It's unlimited data, with no throttling (that we know of).

yes this is what I meant ... sorry lol. and that bump is where the headphone jack is.

nice!

half right ... it is at a register ( since well it is paid for ) but no i didn't pre-order it. it can't be activated until tomorrow as the system won't let it push but the phone is paid for ( off contract ) and mines.

either way it's better than wondering when it will come out been waiting for this phone forever.

was just in good fun. trying my hand at that cell phone forensics thing, jk

that's awesome you already got to handle your TB.


edit: "Fair warning -- if you expose the OP's location, you'll be banned."--wasn't really going to look into it further. ii've contacted the both of you asking you to delete quoting my previously deleted guess---please do so want to keep this thing going.

 

[jayishere]

I'll be getting mine tonight as well

 

[bloodydroid]

lol yes the obvious clues are there ... as i said it was at a register and no one else has those ... only downfall is not being activated until tomorrow, would of been nice to test the LTE speeds so far. i will post some videos and pictures taken with the phone in a bit. very high quality and solid build. while the evo was a good phone it felt a bit on the cheap side. this one feels like you could throw it at a brick wall and it would still work fine.

edit: "Fair warning -- if you expose the OP's location, you'll be banned."--wasn't really going to look into geotagging. if you'd like to delete my posts, feel free wasn't meaning to be any bit invasive--though i realize i was. apologies

Nope. OP gave freely what you saw

Just warning ya before you posted it. We love pictures, and don't want to scare anyone off, so we can't allow that sort of "exposure", and I just threw it out there.

In fact, I'd love it if you paraphrased exactly what you did, and explained geotagging (and how to disable it) in depth for a sticky in the AC-Meta area for situations like these.

 

[bloodydroid]

oh yeah one more thing before i forget. If you didn't pre-order you MIGHT still be in luck. shipments aren't on short supply to my knowledge. still I'd get there quick if you want it. i saw a pretty nice amount.

in short--just ensure that on your iPhone you have disabled the Geotagging Feature---and also on any Android phone (TB) that you use for pictures. here's the simple version of how:
android phone: (camera>settings>geo-tag photos OFF)
for iphone: Turn on your iPhone, and select "Settings" from the menu screen.
Press "General," and then select "Reset."Select the "Reset Location Warnings" option.Press "Reset Warnings."
Press and open your camera application on the menu screen. Select "Don't Allow" when prompted.


otherwise, your cellphone will automatically embed (non-visually) your coordinates into your photos for use on services like Picasa (that's how your photos magically appear on a map in Picasa) & Google Maps or anywhere you post them (like this forum)----and then anyone can view the photos & can download those photos to extract the hidden coordinates via plug-ins on Firefox or InternetExplorer (i won't list the plug-ins in case you haven't edited those photos with the removal of any geotags) to show where they were taken & then find out where you are/were @ any particular time.

for info, search "Geotag hidden in cell phone pics" on google. you'll find one interesting site that allows such tactics to be explained in fuller detail.
for removal: "geo-tag security" is a free downloadable program that can remove metadata from photos.

back to our regularly scheduled programming.

What's the screw that says "VOID" in the pic with the battery cover off?

 

[MyMeth]

i have a question does the box have a seal before you opened it? Its important for me to know that because that' s my basis if the phone is being touch by someone before they give to me and i want to unboxed it by myself.
