Actually, the HTC Thunderbolt is made in Taiwan, at least according to this video. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LraU4akIokU&t=0m34s . I watched it at 720p at full screen to read the packaging.

Ive already used the Buy Back from BBY, its pretty awesome, especially if you get it for FREE. I work for BBY and the people who have already used the program love it. So buy the Thunderbolt for an upgrade price of $250 and get half of the out-right price in 6 months to use towards another cooler phone. So pay $250 now, and get FREE buyback, and in 6 months in you want the (gasp) iphone 5, you’ll have $375 to use towards the new phone. The only fine print is to keep the phone in good working condition, and if you buy the protection plan from BBY, it guarentees that your phone will be covered and you will get the full 50% of the price.

I was trying to wait and see if Im gonna stick it out with Verizon or switch to sprint and get the EVO…If they’re(VZW or BESTBUY) seriously plan on sellin TB for over $700 sprint it is for me. Yes I have a contract with VZW and yes I will have to pay a termination fee but VZW cant keep my business unless they go down on plan pricing. Not whining but after a year of being with them I feel like they should really come down and get close to competitor pricing. Everything I have with VZW is on the Sprint Network NOW for $69.99 plus taxes and fees…C’mon really—I like VZW and I’d like to have the Thunderbolt but considering my bill is so high Im not shoving out $800 ( $749 rounded w/taxes) and still have a $120 something dollar bill. No way! In short—lower price of the phone and plan pricing and Im game for a TB…

I really am looking forward to this phone, only real concern is battery life.

What an irrelevant, witless comparison.

The Bionic has a 960×540 24 bit color IPS display and a Tegra 2. Those are both pretty big, not sure what you expect to be “gamechangers.”
