Root the t-bolt has already been rooted!!

You guys are aware that synthetic benchmark means nothing right? When we talk about Quadrant it will favor Snapdragon over Hummingbird due to the way ARMv7 set uses instruction set. However if you look at NS it scores 4000+ score and is the current highest device to archive that yet my MT4G beats it in performance.

How do I know all of this? I have done extended testing on all device up to end of jan. Now far as Hummingbird goes only good thing about it is the SGX540 which is slightly better than Adreno205(AMD Z460). Far as NS goes using TrinityOC kernel if you understand how its implemented using slab/sqlb you can score higher just on benchmark which will not translate in to performance. As MT4G is sharing same spec with DHD/TB with 2GS/768mb ddr/AMD z460 due to how memory is allocated it beats NS.

In simple term benchmark means nothing so don't let it get to your head and most people like us who due benchmark :P we "create" it that way as its not fake but its not 100% real also as its just think of it as lab testing lol as you will not able to replicate it as we modify it heavily to achieve it just for the "show". Also remember all chips are not equal as preformance will vary even depending on the same line SoC's.

The TBolt has been tested against several dual-core devices and had much higher quadrant scores , around 1700. Check the youtube videos.
You can take the current duel-core devices and the TBolt will blow you away.

the atrix got ~2600 on quadrant compared to bionic which got ~2200. both higher than the tbolt
 
Honestly I don't care that the Bionic has Dual Core and scores higher in Quadrant . I can barely tell the diffrence between my Incredible when it's on a rom/kernal that scores 1150 and ones that give it 1800+ , who cares ?

There are phones that are more powerful , some that have more features and some with better screens but IMO the Thunderbolt looks to be the most well rounded phone . It's not going to be slow it's going to be a very fast phone that will do anything you want to do with it. In all honesty the only thing about the Thunderbolt I'm disapointed in is lack of HDMI but honestly I have a video out cable for my Incredible and I've used it maybe half a dozen times . I know a dozen people with an EVO none of whom have ever used there HDMI port.

What's so great about Android is the fact that you can choose the device that best suits you .
The bad thing about Android is there are so many phone companies making phones that something better seems to be coming out every few months .
I'm still on my Incredible but I've "upgraded" to the Fascinate and X and ended back up with the Incredible because while the Fascinate and X ahd nicer screens and some cool features the Incredible worked best for me .

I am with you there, traded my original incredible for a droid x but was quickly disappointed with motorola after a month and traded for a different incredible. Motorola = fail (in relation to the dev community), HTC FTW.

I had the OG Droid at launch had it for a little over a week and traded it for the Eris. And while the Droid was a faster phone with a nicer screen . I just liked the Eris better but did not hesitate to get the Incredible at launch lol
 
It really depends what you are using it for. Nvidia has been working with devs to creat a lot of games that take advantage of the dual core CPU even on current versions of android. Anyone know if the new snapdragon has the DRM necessary to run netflix?

I don't trust LG I mean come on you were out of the game and now drop a dual core phone you think you will get in it?

Good. I have a LG ally and the rom on it was horrible. Trident released velocity a custom rom and it trippled the performance. LG promissed froyo but it took them about 8 months. Although the fact they did release it eventualy is good... but still...

Um ... I am pretty sure that HTC engineers would be capable of locking a bootloader if they cared. But since they are not complete fascists, they choose not to.

They have tried over and over, to lock down devices. When vulnerabilities are found, they are patched.

Anyone remember kernel based write lock (Tattoo?) Fail.
Original nand lock Fail
nandlock after original patch? fail
nandlock on production thundebolt? :)

The Motorola bootloader has never been completely cracked. You can root and use custom ROMS, but you can't use a a newer version of Android that hasn't been released for that device yet. I am sure HTC could come up with a simmilar bootloader lock by reverse engineering it even if they couldn't do it themselves.
