Hey everyone! New to the forum. Just did a pre-order at local Verizon store last night for the ThunderBolt. Will be upgrading from an Env Touch. Local store said they should be arriving by the 4th. Very excited!

Hello!

I have been holding out for too long and finally gave in and decided to pay the data package fees at Verizon to have a smartphone! :icon_ deal:

I am leaving an LG Dare and my wife an ENV Touch.
Against a few friends who insisted I buy an iPhone, I just ordered a Droid X (Is that a DX?) for myself and a Droid Pro for the wife from wirefly.com.
They should be here this week sometime and I am real excited!
I also ordered an Otterbox Defender case and two car chargers........the wife isn't sure what case she wants yet........probably something pink!

I don't think I want to mess with rooting, from what I can't understand about it and mainly want to learn the ins and outs to these phones and how they work.Trying to learn the terminology and I have already read several threads regarding getting started and tips and tricks to longer battery life.

Welcome to the forum and congratulation on the two great phones. I think not worrying about rooting and all that is a wise decision at this point. You may find that you are never interested in rooting and custom roms and stuff like that. Though the risk is not fairly small, there is still a risk. Just enjoy your phones!!

Wow, that really sounds like a warranty issue. If the phone isn't rooted and has a custom rom installed, I would simply contact Verizon. Though there is Vortex forum...... Oh, I see you're already there. I know nothing about the Vortex. Good luck with that though.

Hello!

I've had the Droid 1 for a little over a year now and have recently been playing around with alternative roms and figure I should start joining conversations. Looking to update to a new phone soon but haven't nailed down what direction I want to head...possibly the Thunderbolt or Bionic.

 

[X_TAC23]

Hey ken welcome to the site. The thunderbolt is going to be a real nice device.

Great info Here!

I just ordered two Droid Incredibles for my wife and daughter and a Droid X for myself when I switched to Verizon this week.

I got all three for a penny each through AmazonWireless.

I've been perusing the board and enjoyed it. LOTS of great info here!

Hello there,I've had the Droid 1 since they came out,and have just recently been interested in modifying it. So I came here for help. I finally rooted my phone last night and am currently looking into custom roms.

 

[ronzorelli]

Don't have a Droid yet, but I'm leaning toward Android as my upgrade. Just trying to figure out which phone I want to get.

I'm on Verizon in Central Texas. Hoping to see a new 4g service coming to my area sometime in the near future, but not holding my breath.

 

[Dreaaa]

Hello! I just bought my new droid yesterday and i'm already loving it. i'm so glad i saved up for this instead of the iphone.
