A note to all those early adopters of the thunderbolt.. You can buy a phone without signing a new contract use it with your unlimited data plan. I care a whole lot about keeping my unlimited data and I will never sign a new contract with Verizon.

I dont know why so many people complain about the thunderbolt here. My thunderbolt WAS working perfectly before the ice cream sandwich update. I just needed to buy new batteries for it over the 2 years. I get over 30 Mbps and it does not crash. When people say their thunderbolt sucked because it rebooted or crashed I’m wondering if they just needed a new battery.

However after the ice cream sandwich update my text messages app stopped working. I had resolved that by installing handcent sms.

Pity all those thunderbolt users that don’t realize they’re likely to have a grand fathered unlimited data plan that is not offered by verizon anymore. This text message app problem might make them all sign a new contract and they will lose their grand fathered data plan.

I have previously owned a Samsung (2 or 3 phones ago) and thought I would give HTC a try with the Thunderbolt. When my upgrade comes I want to ditch HTC and go back to Samsung. My old Samsung flip phone still works after all these years, Samsung’s got the quality. Heck I would even go back to Motorola at least the new ones have decent battery life! This is one unhappy HTC owner.

Screw HTC! I finally gave up and bought a Samsung Galaxy S3 which received the Jellybean update in December-fantastic phone. HTC will never get another purchase from me!

This debacle definitely makes it so I will never own an HTC device again. I’m trying Samsung next.

A couple more months of “soon” and there will be no comments to an article like this.

Pretty pathetic that people like hashcode are working on 4.2 for the droid 3 while HTC can’t even get ICS running and without hashcode my phone would be stuck with GB I just don’t understand how much harder it could be for HTC to get ICS running granted my version of jb has some bugs but most of those will be weeded out by Christmas hopefully

Akili Smith for the Bengals was definitely #1. Jamarcus is a close #2 though.

THIS is why i passed on the DNA. Well that and 11G memory. I already have used 13G on my S3. I sat in the Verizon store for almost an hour trying to talk myself in to the DNA because the display was incredible and the quad core processor was smooth, I really did love my TBolt but having to rely on the Devs because HTC had NEVER once met a deadline on time (release, GB, ICS and bugfixes were all delayed). I decided to pass. If they can prove different with the DNA I’ll reconsider HTC in the future.

Buy a used phone off swappa.com. I upgraded from my gnex to a 32gb mint s3 for $390. You can find good deals on there and you are protected

“Soon” = 13 months and counting since ics came out. They need to drop the ics and Just Update them To JellyBean 4.2 as compensation
