I think anyone who bought a TBolt on March 17, 2011 is a genius!

[FrankXS]

The Tbolt is a phone that was way ahead of its time. The 1st 4G phone. What a thrill to participate in the new 4G rollout across VZW. Fun, fun, fun. And here we are 10 months later with countless newly released 4G phones that don't offer any significant improvements over the TBolt that we bought months ago. I think our timing was perfect. At the end of the typical two year contract (i.e. actually 20 months making it 11/17/2012) the timing for a new 4G phone is perfect! 'Cuz, it's looking like it'll be then before any significant new offerings will be available. I'm so proud of myself! Hehe... How 'bout you?

Pretty sure Evo isn't a Verizon phone.

No kidding, Verizon thread or not the way you worded your comment sounded like you were calling it the first 4G phone. Yes I know it's Verizon first 4G phone.

Right, it's Sprint. I have a Sprint pre-paid phone. I can't even keep voice coverage in the Denver metro area, much less 4G. Sprint has a long way to go for LTE coverage.

You're right. But actually it's a Verizon Thunderbolt Forum.

I guess if your a Verizon customer... I am, you know lte is the real 4g after it came out the others don't register as 4g... just my opinion. I bought tbolt on 1 year and am eligible now for an upgrade but don't see much dual cores can do that I can't. Don't play the games you have to pay more than $1 for so I will be good with this phone until a quality 4-core comes out in the fall....

While you guys debate that issue, I will also say that I agree that the TBolt is still the best out there. I have an upgrade available with another in 2 months. Maybe in 2 months there will be something so significantly better that I would consider worth moving on to.

would have to say the Thunderbolt was a decent phone but going from it to the razr there is no comparison. The razr is miles ahead of it dual core makes a lot of difference actually being able to make calls. Signal strength, screen switching between 3g and 4g is a lot faster. Not hating on on the Thunderbolt. but to say that no phones offer much of an improvement is crazy you either have not used a newer phone or in denial just my 2 cents

Did you make a comparison first to the Rezound and the Nexus too before you decided your purchase on the Razr?

Yes I am with you as of yet I have not found any real world changing phone. However the soon to come HTC Edge sounds like it might just be that phone which is looking like it might be here in few months

No I have not had the chance to play with them.verizon offered me the razr or rezound as a replacement to the Thunderbolt. As I was already having problems with htc and signal issues I went with the razr. Always knew motorola had very good radios in there phones so I chose the razr over the rezound.due to the fact I do work in the oil field and never had signal with the tb. Razr has been great But I'm sure in the performance department razr, nexus, and rezound are somewhat on par with eachother. The most important thing to me is signal I think moto wins in that department

Can any of these new phones do voice and data at the same time ,without wifi ?

Re: I think anyone who bought a TBolt on March 17, 2011 is a geni

on 4g not 3g. That is one thing I miss

Re: I think anyone who bought a TBolt on March 17, 2011 is a geni

Rezound can just like the TBolt does.

Re: I think anyone who bought a TBolt on March 17, 2011 is a geni

i just wish they would have another update to fix the auto sync email issue I'm having since the last update. Until the last update last month the tbolt has been rock solid for me.

The razr is miles ahead

I can swap batteries.
Razr FAIL.

Yep. Its so solid now and I'd say you nailed it Frank. Early adoption pains aside this duckling is a swan.
