Thunder Bolt vs. X

[jbomb11]

If I am not in an lte area (rochester, ny) and I have a dx already is this phone really worth me getting it now? I am a tech gadget freak.... I might have to either way.

I think you answered your own question.

I think its still worth it. Its still a big upgrade over anything on the market, and utilizes 3g as well as 4g in case you travel. As long as data plans dont get wacky, go for it.

It's an upgrade, but it isn't groundbreaking no matter how you stretch it. More RAM, more storage, same camera, (even IF it's improved) same 4.3" screen, no HDMI out, LTE finally while I and the other carriers have had 4G for a year, same sucky battery life, same front facing camera, so nope, nothing special really. Just being honest, even though I'm buying one. Just a little bit of "more", with nothing "new". It's literally an upgraded Evo, which WAS groundbreaking.

No, it's only 4G in name.

Technically, all 4G's are 4G in name. Which begs the question Ozzy has raised: "how many bloody g's are there?"

According to the Biebs, six.

And you are correct. That was what I was driving it.

Jbomb11, check out the link in my signature. There's a spreadsheet there comparing the Droid X to the ThunderBolt (as well as Verizon's other LTE phones). That will give you a good idea of the differences in specs.

Data and voice at the same time over 3G is a selling point for those without LTE in their area.
It's faster, screen to screen, app to app.
And it comes loaded out of the box w/ 40GB storage.

And if you're a tech geek...you've already answered the question.

Droid X FFC?

"same front facing camera"? The Droid X doesn't have one, does it? I know a lot of people don't care about it, but its actually something I'm looking forward to when I travel without my family.

He was comparing it with EVO. But the point is EVO was not a VZW phone. Not all of us are switching from a different carrier

I say go for it.... I got an x myself but im a tech junkie as well

 

[kpageisgreat]

I had the X (gave it to friend who really needed a phone right now. Currently using a lg enV) and I can say this: To me it is an upgrade. I say go for the Thunderbolt.

Thanks to Cory for the wonderful comparison chart!

The Evo has had one for a year. But, I guess it might be a groundbreaking upgrade for Verizon. It is handy and you will use it if you typically video-chat with people. If Skype isn't out with video yet, download Yahoo! Messenger, and the video plug-in and it works fine.

Either one gets the job done nicely....I could

live happily using what is available

 

[FatalErrorz]

M249 or .50 Cal...

But I prefer the M240B or MK19

The driver wins the race...if your gun is bad, but you aren't the pro, the pro will get through the course faster hitting more targets. You know? It's relative, and to try and make a point about what phone is best, is just a pointless point, cause some people don't really care
