What if the Revolution comes first?

[tekhna]

(pun intended, given that we're being such good consumers)

Would you think about the Revolution now that it's through the FCC, and some sites are reporting that the Revolution might be out before the Thunderbolt? I'd be fine with it myself. LG's stepped up their game, the specs are comparable, and it won't have a locked bootloader.

 

[akira751]

I think it looks good.

First, I highly doubt that this will happen. People have said HTC was told they would be the first LTE phone to market and that there is some agreement to that affect. Whether that is true, who knows.

I wouldn't mind the Revolution, but I really don't think the Thunderbolt would be too far behind so I'd just wait because it does have a few specs that are a little better than the Revolution.

Im pretty sure the Thunderbolt wiill be out first. The problem was network related, not phone related.

We've heard network, battery, reflashing the whole phone, etc. We have no idea what it is.

 

[I am Fake Jesus]

verizon has marketed tbolt as first, it will be first even if it is by only one day lol

 

[mclarryjr]

I'm extremely happy with my Dinc so my next phone will be an HTC no matter which phone comes out first. And I highly doubt that the Revolution would come out before the Thunderbolt.

Verizon's own site says the first VZW LTE device will be the ThunderBolt. That's something they won't be removing from the site unless the TB isn't coming at all.

Isn't one of the reasons why the 'Bolt is delayed again is because if the LTE network? That would apply to the Revolution too.

 

[elai1108]

I want my TBolt!

I'm going to hold out for the TBolt. Revolution looks too big/bulky and I really like HTC Sense.

No one really knows why the TB is delayed were all just guessing. But your right if it is the network then no LG.

 

[th0r615]

If you read BMX's tweets in order you kinda get the feeling that its the network, not the phone thats holding up the Thunderbolt.

Been workng... lot to do. Will address Tony's comments later.. device is fine.. LTE issues are small nuggles that aren't network wide

Teams are doing the needful to get it fixed and hopefully will be ready by expected launch date..may say the dreaded. "Delay" word?? Nah

Let's not all freak out.. bolt people. Just keeping it real. Wouldn't be the first time we have gone to the wire on launches..

Ideas like 4g enabled after launch/ limited rollout/ etc been explored. hope is none will be needed. Not airing dirty laundry as to reasons

Look at it this way. all the other device launches will be smooth thanks to this embarrassing BS... verizon owes apologies to best buy n htc

Love my team.. but for major markets not to be ready is appalling. Socal is done but others aren't?? Half the teams beefing up cdma for??

 

[Comineeyeaha]

The revolution looks good, but I haven't seen LG's UI so i'd have to check it out first. I'd probably like sense more.

 

[DolfanCole]

I think the TBolt will be first (too much marketing and claims saying that it will be). I think the better question is who's going to be second. My wish is the Bionic. But, we've seen indications that the Revolution and Stealth seem to be coming up, and nothing on the Bionic. My hope was to have the TBolt and Bionic out so I could compare them side-by-side myself to figure out which way to go. I don't have much interest in the others, although the Samsung's screen looks great.

 

[shaddix]

I have no issue with LG devices, I would happily take it.

 

[htowngator]

it wont

 

[delynnie]

I wouldn't have a problem with it releasing in SoCal first since it ready, but I am a little biased since I live in SoCal LOL! But that would not be fair to anyone else!

 

[SUB-dawg]

i'm just going to say that the revolution will NOT come before the bolt.

 

[prakash99]

i'm just going to say that the revolution will NOT come before the bolt.

True that. If we believe both Bennnn and BMX, the device-related problems have been resolved so they are just waiting till the LTE network is smoothened out.

 

[kpageisgreat]

I would strongly consider the Revolution if they came out around the same time. I'm more deadset for the Thunderbolt than anything else. The Rev looks like a solid device, I sworn off Samsung for awhile, and Motorola will probably not get my business for a bit.
