Who of you in non-4G areas will be jumping on the T-Bolt right away? I would think the only real reason to do so would be to lock into the unlimited 4G at the $29.99 price if that happens.

The area I'm in is currently 4G-less but it on the list to have 4G this year, so I'm all over the TBolt as soon as it drops. I just wish I knew when this year I can expect to see 4G go live.

I was gonna pull the trigger on the TB. I would have to pay full price though being as i just renewed to get a NE2 one last time. Decided though that this is NOT the phone i want.

Likely it will be the last single core processor phone (especially a 4G phone). I know by the end of the year the dual cores will be out or near out in the wild. After taking into consideration of getting into another 2 contract and paying full price in the first place, i would be stupid to get it. Would be nice to have for 6 months but thats about it.

I can kinda see where your coming from, but I don't really see dual cores making a big difference any time soon. There are not many games that take advantage of dual core now, and probably not that many in the works. Maybe some in the early planning stages, but none of the smaller devs will bother anytime soon till the dual core situation settles down a bit and they see where things are headed.

I could be wrong, but I just don't see dual cores doing anything all that special before this time next year. Sure there will be lots of dual core phones dropping this year, but software always lags FAR behind hardware.

I'll have to call my brother tonight. He works for GLU (actually did most of the art for Gun Bros) and see if dual core is even on their radar at this point.

Interesting concept and very thought out. My main reason for dual core would be for increased battery life. The single cores are power suckers.

Though your thoughts have made me rethink the situation. May just get the TB and lock in 29.99 unlimited data that way i can grandfather in on the "bigger and better" future 4G devices and not be limited on data.

I will still probably get the TBolt as soon as it drops (HTC fanboy at heart), but I am a little concerned about the battery. But I'm rarely in a situation where I can't plug it in for a little while if I need to. Also thinking abount picking up one of these instead of springing for a extra battery;


Amazon.com: New Trent ifuel IMP500 5000mAh external Battery pack and charger for iPhone 4 4G 3Gs 3G (AT&T and verizon) , iPod Touch (1G 2G 3G 4G), HTC Android EVO, Blackberry, Kindle DX, Samsung Galaxy S, Droid: Electronics


At $41 bucks for 5000mah backup kinda hard not to grab one of those. I really want to wait and see if someone comes out with an extended battery that doesn't make the phone look like a freakin' hunchback.

I plan on it as long as the data stays the same.. If they up the data price and make me pay for 4g when i dont have it im not getting the TB..

Seidio has a 1,600 slim battery that fits, but it is $50.

I'm planning on buying the TB to lock in 4G pricing if they leave it the same. Over time it will pay for itself as long as they allow continued grandfathering similar to how they have in the past.

Time to stay off the forums. Well for the majority of the day anyways. Th more I'm here the more I want this phone. The more I want this phone and its not out and I keep reading bout it the more irritated I get. Now no matter what I'm gettin this TBolt. So the 3.7 inch screen on incredible is good but I want the 4.3 really bad

This may or may not carry any weight

but my buddy who works retail at Big red got a "high-priority" email about the Tb and how to deal with SIM cards and the such.
