I couldn't be more happier with this phone. It's not perfect, but name me one that is.

I CANT WAIT TO GET MY THUNDERBOLT AT 1030 am tomorrow morningF the Iphone, and I just may keep my amazing Hinc (unless someone wants to buy a rooted phone in excellent condition, wink wink) if I want to go back... but I am willing to be a grandfathered labrat.... Bring it on HTC and verizon....

i admit, it is frustrating at times.
but YOUR thunderbolt sucking doesn't mean every Thunderbolt sucks or experiences your data connectivity issues.
yes, a group of users are experiencing that problem--but it's a 1st generation LTE phone. we all knew what we were getting into when we bought the phone. we're labrats for this--but we're compensated by being grandfathered into unlimited LTE data (supposedly).
sorry you're having trouble-- but,
i love mine.
i get constant 4g, constant signal, good battery life (tweaks, tweaks!), and the screen is awesome.
and the 32GB card? yowza. originally i thought it was just something to draw you in to overlook certain shortcomings on the phone (battery, initially--or the 1.2 processor), but once you know how to work the phone it really comes alive and is fully beneficial. i've got so many shows & movies--and songs on this thing it's insane. i'm never bored b/c i have this media powerhouse in my pocket.
and yes, the update was delayed. but the RUU was leaked--and you can flash it to fix your connectivity issues. tons of people have, and pretty much anyone who has reports that it fixed any problem (GPS, Camera, data, 4g-3g handoff). it's a simple flash, you can find instructions in this forum pretty easily.
sorry you're having trouble. did you create a user account JUST to post this? (referencing your 1 post count quantity) just curious
hope you enjoy---whatever you move on to. as for the rest of us in this forum--we'll find ways to make it work and reap the benefits!
I just want to say that I have had the thunderbolt for over a month now and it sucks. I mean it looks good and it is fast, but it cannot connect to the internet.
The data connection just craps out constantly. I used to have the g1 and the orignal droid; both phones were slower, but better than the thunderbolt. I used all three of these phones in the exact same locations. btw, the location is the middle of manhattan, so i can't imagine how crappy this phone is in other locations.
I called verizon and they said it is a known issue and that is was scheduled to be fixed May 3rd, but that the release was delayed. Anyway, bottom line is that thunderbolt was rushed to market with crap software.
It may be a great phone in a year or so, but right now the thunderbolt sucks. It is also HILARIOUS that all the gadget sites gave this phone good reviews. Just goes to show what a load of **** they are.

I have to agree with the OP.
Verizon told us they wouldn't release the phone untill they could provide an excellent user experience.
FAIL.
I work in a solid 4g area and live in a 3g area and have data connection problems in both.
I started a trouble ticket with Verizon. That went nowhere. They repaced the sim card with no result, and now I'm waiting for a replacement device.
Replacing these devices makes no sense to me when they have stated the problem will be fixed with a future update/patch. I guess that's just their way of shutting us up.
I would like verizon to provide the device and service I pay for and I'm not willing to do thier jobs for them. i.e. Rooting and flashing, just so the device will perform as promised.
well they were talking about gingerbread coming out in June time frame, it is not too long now. I hope they will do that. HTC already has released gingerbread for some of their phones in UK.
