I’ve been with Verizon for so many years, I bought this thing thinking I would have the latest…..I DID! The Latest and Biggest Piece of CRAP Of any machine I have ever purchased. Now Verizon sends the “Latest” update I didn’t ask for, screwing it up even more. And they did it on purpose, to screw them up so bad people got out of their data plans. It is so dishonest and underhanded that I won’t be using Verizon OR this trash phone any longer.

Yup…I’m done with this POS phone! The update, months upon months late, is junk. The phone slows down so badly now it’s a nightmare to even make a phone call. Ya hit the key to call and can wait up to 40 seconds before it even starts ringing. One day I inadvertently placed 3 calls to the same number because I didn’t think the prior attempts worked. HTC can take a flying leap and when my new phone comes, this will do the same. Samsung G 3…can’t wait!

If you buy at full price you can keep your unlimited plan. If you buy through Vz at a reduced cost ( Iphone5 for $100)… you drop to a 2Gb per month limit on standard plans – or more Gb for more $

Still have/use my Tbolt. Got it for the camera which still takes great pics. Still really like the phone despite battery. BUT the unwanted software update now makes it practically unusable because it’s now so slllllllllllow. Oh, to go back to the old days/ways and software :

I did have the newest radio. I know what I’m doing. I tried at least half a dozen ROMs and they all had this problem. It was a hardware issue. Furthermore, $140 is not “loads of money”, and the Galaxy Nexus is a significantly better phone anyway.

you should have flashed your radio to the newest version then…You wasted loads of money by getting rid of your TB. Next time, teach yourself how to root your phone and open your eyes to the wonderful world of customized roms. There are dozens, if not hundreds of ROMs out there built for the Thunderbolts, and other smartphones.

There are 2 types of people who own TB’s right now.
1) The people who have root access and know how super simple they are to install custom ROM’s and;
2) The people who have no damn clue how amazing the TB’s are and are still waiting for their upgrades to refresh.

If your #2 then Root your damn phone, install a custom ROM and then wait for the next generation of smart phones to come out later this year.

I could have upgraded my phone 3 months ago but my TB is incredible. I am running NusenseX 3.1 beta by Santod as my ROM and LOVE it..

If you guys would have rooted your Thunderbolts you would have had access to dozens of different ROM’s to play with. My Thunderbolt runs better than the day I received it (over 2 years ago). http://forums.infectedrom.com/content.php and Santod do an incredible job of creating ROM’s (Operating Systems) for our TB’s and they are free.

Get in the know and you guys will really enjoy your computing experiences with your smart phones. Rooting (gaining root access) to your phone is so simple a fn monkey can do it anymore. Root it and start customizing your phone the way you want it instead of waiting on dipshits like Verizon to give you an update.

Not happy with the update. Interface changes that were not needed are one thing… but everything is MUCH slower, it now has problems connecting to my homes network and I have yet to see a benefit.

Hating the update! So much lag! Pickup calls and the connection delay is a serious issue! So nice touches on the settings menus, but if my phone sucks as a phone what’s the point!?
