Wirefly Unboxes the Thunderbolt!

It scores well it seems. But I pretty miffed about this delay. I was so excited with hope of picking it up on Monday.

yes i agree. im tired of paying my att bill for nothing. i need a real phone. iv had plans based round this for getting my wife a new phone to. verizon is messing my plans up

iv seen it test 1950 on test.

and i agree he def doesnt no alot lol
 
Well in Quadrant it scored great but The SMARTBENCH scores were pretty pathetic. Does anyone know why this is? I don't know much about these tests.

They "critics" have to always find something to make themself feel important.
 
these numbers mean nothing. but they do at the same time. i wonder what those sony xperia phones score. doesnt matter cause that interface is garbage. so are there phones.

if the phone does everything smoothly under your tough conditions then why pass on a phone due to a score test

Oh I won't pass unless the data plan is more than 30 or they keep pushing it back until something better is out.

I was just curious about the score becasue they do have *some* merit.

If you actually watch the results you will see that aside from the gaming score being lower than three or four other phones on the market, the rest of the ratings were stellar.

Unless you are planning on doing a lot of 3D gaming on your TB it shouldn't concern you in the least.
 
Now this is just teasing everyone, especially after we find out it's been delayed. It's like holding a piece of chocolate from a piece of string just out of reach from a little kid.

Right and if you look at the phone weather widget he shot this on the 4th! So they have sent out units awhile ago! That is in the review part one video I mean but in the un-boxing (I know it is not on the network to update) but it says January 6th!!

nah it was shot today....his isnt activated yet and no sim so no network date/time
 
How does this compare to the Motorola Bionic? I heard the Bionic has a better quality screen.
 
Anyone notice that when using the kickstand, presumably for movie viewing and video chatting (battery draining chores) the charging port will be against the ground, not able to charge....

They are gonna sell a dock for it arent they.... and charge us 50 bucks to buy that... not cool HTC not cool

Yep...there was a huge hubapalooza about that here in the forums a while back. I too think it's a pretty stupid design decision (but a good business decision).

I'm just curious how else they could have designed it?

Sure they could have moved the charging port but then it would not be able to use a docking station which some people need for their cars/bedsides.

if it would have been on the bottom, then a car dock would hold it in landscape with charge port built in, i think the evo or dx had one like that.
 
It is mighty sweet. I think when I am due for my upgrade this will be the one for me. But in the meantime I have my Incredible and I still love it!

By bottom you mean where my mouth would talk into?

So the evo/x docking station held it landscape but had a separate cord that needed to be plugged into charge?
