I think they put the port where they did because of the multimedia desktop dock and car dock that they are selling.
Extra $60 for that multimedia desktop--that seems pretty outrageous to me. Suppose it depends in part on how long you plan to keep this phone. Personally, I hope to be trading up for the 4.3" WXDA (1280x800) resolution, 1.2 GHz Qualcomm MSM8960 dual core processor Thunderbolt 2/Incredible HD that is coming next from HTC. Not sure when, but maybe by the end of the year or about this time next year?

That reasoning never made sense to me. Why not put the port on the right side so its on the top when the kickstands is out?

Maybe use a dock instead of the kickstand. Dock for battery draining extended media viewing and kickstand during shorter periods.

I know this is like beating a dead horse, but I finally had to chime in and say a whole hearted thank to you. I've been anticipating this phone for months and was feeling pretty bummed about the "delays" that had occurred.....then I saw the title to this thread!! Of course at first I was jealous (as I'm sure 99% of the readers were lol) but now after reading all these pages I've come to appreciate you much more. You deserve so much more than just thanks. You've done such an amazing job dealing with all us thunderbolt crazies. Your a gentleman and a saint. Great job, and again thank you.
P.s.
Also congrats on the new upcoming arrival.....the baby not the thunderbolt lol
Fascinate stuck on 2.1

A big congrats on that one Johnboy to you and your wife, all the best to you and yours.
Awesome news on the battery too :icon_ banana:.

I still say that they should have swapped the hinge on the kickstand so that it is opposite of the charging port, unless the multimedia dock (if there is one) allows you to use the kickstand and still hook the power into it.

Thanks on all accounts. Not looking for the praise, but it is much appreciated none the less.
Battery Left currently shows 11:29 left on the battery at 94%. I still haven't gotten the Accuracy meter fully calibrated, but I am hoping after today to have it complete.

Well, someone play taps... lol
I have to return the TBolt to my rep this afternoon. Thankfully, I will only be without my precious until Friday though, and it will be all mine, full production model!
I will have to use this thread to reference a comparison to the Production model and see what the differences. The next ~36 hours are going to be difficult for me with my Droid X in-hand. (It's like putting my training wheels back on my bike!)

Whoa... I can't believe I missed this before, but when I was going into the Settings to wipe the TBolt, I noticed a spot called "Dock." Press on the option, and it only shows "Display Mode - Automatic" and the option is grayed out. Looks like there will be some docking options after all!

Factory Reset info
So, just did a factory reset of the phone. No "native" SWYPE is installed, so you will have to do a beta install or use SlideIT.
Also, the phone storage now shows 2.49GB of internal storage space left, 29.71GB on the SD Card (which was formatted).

Yeah, that would have given the same result. There is a multimedia dock coming out that will charge the phone and spare battery while in landscape.

Hey, first of all I'd like to thank you for all the help you're giving everyone here, and it's really cool you have this phone before anybody lol I'm dying to get my hands on it.
My gf just got the inspire 4G for ATT and I gotta say, now I know what everybody means by SENSE is far better than motoblur. Even with all the different launchers, it's two different worlds. And her internet is so much smoother than mine, and the camera is amazing. The battery though, ehhh no comparison.
But as I was playing with her phone I noticed TWO things that bothered me. One, her internal memory is supposed to be 4GB and when I checked it showed she had 1.05GB left. I know a bit is supposed to be missing cause of all the preinstalled crapware, but 3 GIGS of memory??!! She went to the store to ask why it was so low and they told her it was cause the operating system of the inspire takes up a large portion of her memory or something like that, they fed her crap I'm assuming. I googled this, and apparently it's true that only 1GB is usable on the inspire so it wasn't just her phone. Now, since the TB and inspire are very similar (operating system wise at least) does the thunderbolt have the same problem? My motorola has 8GB preinstalled, and after all the things I've stored in it I still have over 5GB left. Is the TB's internal memory all usable? (u just mentioned u have 2.49 left) is that because you loaded ur phone up with apps and pics and stuff? Or did it come with that much?
ALSO, I tried to install beta SWYPE on her phone, and it said that her phone did not allow things out of the market to be installed on it. I checked around and there's an option in settings where u can disable this, but on the inspire u have to download a couple extra things u can't just uncheck the option like in the X to download things out of the market....did u have a problem downloading swype? Or was it just, download, install...done.
Sorry for writing so much btw. But I fell in love with sense.
P.S. Even though the inspire has less pixels than my phone, and the same dimensions on the screen, her phone looks more crisp. I'm assuming the TB looks nicer as well.
