New Thunderbolt by 3pm today

[davfed]

I will have my new thunderbolt by 3pm today. Upgrading from the original Droid, should be a huge step up! there are a great deal of negatives here but I plan on keeping an open mind and judge for myself.

I got the phone for 199.99 with free overnight shipping from the website. I thought they were doing away with the 1 year upgrade on a 2 year contract but i was able to do it yesterday..

Can't wait to play with it!

Mine was supposed to be here by 3pm, but it actually got here around 9am!

hey, that's not fair!

Have you had a chance to use it much?

 

[dirtygin]

Not too much...just had it activated and charging. I'm actually on the phone with Verizon right now because I lost 3g service. I'm not in a 4g area until I get home, but I cant access anything right now.

You should like it, its fast for sure. Feels nice in your hand compared to the x too. From what ive seen the batt wont last much more then 8 hours. Looks like devs are putting in the man hours for some cool roms also. Enjoy.

I'm in the same boat as OP. I upgraded from Moto Droid and it is great! So much faster and with 4G it is awesome! With Moto Droid it was becoming slower and slower and frustrating when switching b/w apps and waiting for the shortcuts to appear on home screen or trying to select next app in menu. I'm so glad I made the upgrade to TB!!

I also upgraded to a Thunderbolt from a D1. I thought I would be a Motorola person for life. The D1 rooted, over clocked, under clocked, different ROM's (Ultimate Droid, MIUI, Pete's Gingerbread), different kernels... The Thunderbolt is much better then any experience I had with the D1. HTC Sense is awesome, really makes the phone run smoothly. Battery has not been an issue. Don't have 4G yet, but even doing voice/data simultaneously has been awesome. I am very happy with it to date (got it a week ago today).

I too went from D1 to TB and I can't believe how much faster it is.

Rooted and now just waiting to get some good roms out.

I got the regular + extended batteries, have the extended fully charged but I want to play around with the regular one now and see how long it lasts.

I've had mine for exactly a week now. I gotta this is one of the best phones I've ever owned, and I used to have an iPhone. I was coming from a fascinated which isn't that bad a phone (and of course that beautiful screen) I've been VERY happy with this phone. Also I can get more than a days worth out of the stock battery. And I'm in a 4G area. The phone kicks ass and will be more than accommodating for the next 2 years or so.

finally thunderboltin' and lovin it!!!!!
