Hey guys,
First, this post is not meant to incite any iPhone vs Droid nonsense. As you will notice this is my first post here, I currently have an iPhone 4 with AT&T. I basically hate AT&T, and with the release of the Thunderbolt and its use of Verizons 4g network, I got pretty excited about this phone. Please bear in mind this is my first impression of ever really using any Android phone.
So, I just returned from the Verizon store and played with the Thunderbolt for the first time. On first impression versus my iPhone, the keyboard seemed unresponsive, where the iPhone would take light touches to activate a keypress, I had to be much more deliberate with the TB, even after running the calibration. Is there something else I'm missing here? I found it very difficult to type effectively/quickly with the way it was.
The other issue was related to performance in general. When sliding between screens the iPhone transitions smoothly, same with traversing lists. The TB seemed like it had a stutter, and did not feel very fluid at all. Is this something that would be improved by rooting the phone and removing bloatware?
Again, in no way am I trying to start a versus war here, frankly, I WANT to move to a Droid phone, I just was not really impressed with my first experience with this phone. Are my concerns unfounded? Easily fixed? Am I just ignorant ( please tell me yes )
Any other iPhone converts here that could chime in? Basically I want to be talked into this thing!
Thanks!
