Why doesn't V take the EVOLTE and make that into a Thunderbolt II??? That's right the V stands for Vag

I think of the orginal 4 LTE devices, The Thunderbolt has proven to be the best one. It's unfortunate that it took the lumps it did as the first of a new technology. Nothing that has come out sense even remotely interest me. I would entertain a Bolt II.

Agree, I don't think there will ever be another Thunderbolt. They might name it Rezound II.
That wouldn't make much sense as the Rezound is based on the Incredible line whereas the Thunderbolt is akin to the EVO line. Besides, IMO, the name Rezound (play on resound) leaves a lot to be desired, whereas Thunderbolt exudes power.
With the Dinc LTE coming out, i dont see a rezound 2 or tbolt 2 happening.

Isn't the DincLTE a middle of the road phone??? Not a Top tier phone.

My latest quandary is:
Make a phone superior to the Thunderbolt but keep the retail price below $400 because it will definitely be cheaper for me to keep Unlimited Data than to pay $149 to Verizon for the phone and be forced into 2 years of capped/tiered data.
I work 12 hour shifts and use my phone to update Podcasts and Vodcasts as I go and also stream Netflix, HBO-Go and just recently Game 1 of the Stanley Cup Playoffs. These HD streams suck bandwidth like crazy! Over 1 GB to watch the hockey game Wednesday night and I turned it off between periods.
I've posted about this before. All this BS about putting everything in the CLOUD and HD Streaming is great but if you lose "unlimited data" you are going to get murdered on bandwidth overage charges.
No matter how much I try to spread it out (I use Llama app to auto-connect me to Trusted Wi-Fi the second I come into range so I don't even have to think about it), I still average 9-15gb per month LTE usage and another 5-7gb over Wi-Fi.
I don't own a tablet and on RARE occasions I use PDANet to connect the phone to a laptop. My usage is strictly phone-based data.
Simple arithmetic, not even math. To keep paying $30/month for unlimited data times 24 months equals $720.
To pay $80/month for 10GB which I actually may go over periodically times 24 months equals $1,920
Now $1,920 minus $720 equals $1,200 which means I could pay $600 retail for a new phone with unlimited data every year and still break even and without the fear of any charges for going over the 10GB limit.
All this means to ME PERSONALLY right now is that as long as I can keep paying the same rate for UNLIMITED DATA at the grandfathered rate I just have to make sure I have enough dough-in-pocket to BUY at retail the next phone I want and I still SAVE A LOT OF MONEY!
Cheap phones to get locked into a long-term, tiered data plan is NOT a good deal! BUY the frigging phone!
Oh yeah, not to mention, a little bit of rebate you can get by selling last year's phone to someone who would be thrilled to get it for $100 bucks or so cash. There's your discount.
I doubt they would call it the Thunderbolt II, because of the negative reviews the first one received.
I thought we figured out that it was people on unlimited 3g data moving to 4g would lose their unlimited data, not 4g to 4g people, yet.
