I havent seen any info in this so I'm guessing the answer is no, but does anyone know if the Thunderbolt is going to have Gorilla Glass? I don't like using a screen protector and thats one of the reasons I got a Fascinate.
Is Thunderbolt going to be using Gorilla Glass??

DOn't think so. My guess it will be the same glass as the incredible. That's ok with me, the inc is pretty well made glass.
I thought someone mentioned in a different thread (I can't find it right now, maybe it was on a completely different forum altogether) that the screen will be made of some kind of improved glass that has some additive in it or something that makes it more scratch-resistant...
Can someone else confirm or deny this?

Is the incredibles glass good enough that if I'm careful I don't need to use a screen protector?
Totally. Even the Eris was made of tough glass. I love not having to worry or use screen protectors.

i emailed them about it a while ago, htc doesnt use gorilla glass. they use there own silicon whatever based glass....in a nut shell, its tough. but its not gorilla glass
Im not worried about it being strong enough that it wont crack. I have insurance so thats not a big deal. What I'm worried about is if its going to scratch very easily.

yea, iv had friends with inc an x. x of course has gorilla glass. tho the inc has some strong glass as well. my biggest thing is on my iphone 3g i have dust between the glass an screen.....annoying. i dont like cases an havent used a screen cover. but we will see how this phone goes
no HTC products use gorilla glass so I doubt the thunderbolt will be an exception, unfortunately 
Same with both my Eris and DInc I had. I put them in my pockets (with nothing else) everyday and the screen is flawless, not even minor scratching.
we're not sure exactly how they choose what to display on there, but i specifically remember last month when i got my Atrix, i checked that same webpage and it was not showing a single HTC product. now, it's showing a couple HTC phones that was released last year like the Evo 4G, the Incredible, and the myTouch 3G. which is why i think most people have assumed that HTC does not use Gorilla Glass at all.
I've read that there are very restrictive copyright/trademark issues and that company's who contract to use Gorilla Glass (Corning) are not allowed to advertise it as such without paying a fee (i.e. Apple). On the other hand, Corning, obviously retains the rights to offer their "customers" up as a reference.

Even if it ever does, it won't be on this model - were you looking for Thunderbolt II - or Thunderbolt III?
