Let me say that I absolutely love the thunderbolt but I have tried to get past the battery issues and even bought a spare battery but I live in a very remote area where a network extender is my only option for service and I can't make calls or receive them sometimes and my texts rarely work and I get no data from it where my wife sitting next to me with her iphone has none of these problems. I have tried new batteries, a new sim and still the same problems. I bought the phone at launch and I have only got to use it in an LTE area once and it was amazing but I just can't deal with the other problems. I have to wear slacks to work so the spare battery is kind of out of the question because of the size so I spoke to Verizon and they are going to let me exchange my phone and go back to the iphone. Sucks because I really love this phone and what its capable of but I just can't deal with the negatives anymore, especially when its such a big part of my business. So, everyone enjoy your phone and maybe down the road I will get another android phone and go from there. Take care guys!!
