I love my TBolt and I don't have unlimited expendable income so I'll be waiting until my contract is up and buy whatever the top phone is then.

Will you Upgrade to the Vigor?
- Thread starter jeremycnly
- Start date
I'm Keeping my thunderbolt. I have no complaints with it, and even though I love the htc sensation and I'm sure the vigor will be comparable (if not better) it's not worth the money to me. I'll upgrade in a year when my contract is up and an even better htc phone is available.

I want it but I don't need it. The thunderbolt has been mostly great and does everything I want and need (4G is most important for me because I watch a lot of streaming videos/movies online which are unwatchable on my slow home connection). I don't play many games on my phone so a dual/quad processor would be overkill for me right now. I don't multitask with 15 programs open so I don't know when a dual/quad would ever have an appreciable effect for my usage. By the time programs need dual/quad processors I suspect my contract will be up and I will upgrade.

I think it's going to be well worth it to upgrade to the vigor for a couple reasons:
#1. The thunderbolt was the first of its kind, however it had alot of problems, now that they are already planning on replacing it there's a very good chance we will see ALOT of improvements. I'm expecting a bigger battery, less bugs, less bloat, and more speed that doesn't compromise the battery.
#2. Better 4G connectivity. Seeing as the TB had had alot of problems with the first Lte radio in a phone... i believe we will be seeing a much improved radio that won't constantly strain for signals and retain connectivity from farther away and obtain data faster.
#3. Specs that will keep this phone alive for awhile. Right off the bat your packing a dual core processor, gingerbread, and a potential unlockable ability (thanx HTC) which will make development for this device VERY prominent...
Anyways these are my opinions

The same thing that happened when people found out the bionic wasn't coming out for another 7 months.
They'll be pissed off.
But htc will make a phone that will top everything else, that's for sure.
Then again, this device does have a leaked date already. I think that after the thunderbolt release HTC and vzw would of definitely planned for a better release and that MAP surely does show they've created a deadline and I believe they will follow through.

I think that if it was a tablet there would've been a different model number, if it didn't exist they wouldn't have a MAP date with benchmark scores

Nope!
No I won't be upgrading because they haven't improved on anything that actually matters in the real world. HTC has already met the performance demand, and now it's time for them to focus on what else matters like the battery life. I recommend the Incredible 2 to a co-worker who loves the heck out of her phone. The only let down that she had was that her phone couldn't last a entire day out at Sea World.
I would consider a substantially improved battery life before I'd consider a processor of any sort upgrade.

I like the optimism, I personally don't know what to think so I'm just along for the ride. Right now I'm content with my Bolt despite the issues that once existed. Problems should be expected with new technology and the Thunderbolt wasn't any exception. If HTC does nothing else but slap a bigger battery on the Vigor, that will be an improvement right there showing that they now realize that 1400mAh connected to a LTE network just doesn't make any since.
If you want Skype to work with your ffc simply install Gingerbread.
The ease of customization is something you won't have when you go back to Motorola.
