Hi guys, I am new to this whole Android smartphone business. I am stuck between the Droid Charge and Thunderbolt. I was just browsing around and trying to gather as much information as I could before I made the choice. I was looking into the rooting aspect. Rooting the thunderbolt looked like a pain in the rear from what I gathered. I was looking at the site, and is it as easy as using Odin3 and a zip file to root the Charge?
I was initially leaning towards the HTC Thunderbolt because of stories on how slow Samsung used to be in updates. (Sister had Fascinate). My biggest concern with Samsung is that in every review I read how the Flash on the Charge would lock up where as the Thunderbolt didn't, as well as laggy interface from time to time. I personally wouldnt mind lower stock battery time as I could get another one more powerful one.
If rooting is easy then I'd jump all over the Charge because it would eliminate the lag and I'd assume that rooted Charge is as fast as an unrooted HTC.
