was wondering if some power buttons are more flush than others on the 'bolt. mine seems functionally fine (once you locate it) but i am concerned that, over time, using it to wake up the screen over and over again is only going to push it further into the chassis. is this something worth...

so, i have my new 'bolt in my grubby paws and i am psyched. but i am trying to look at it with a critical eye for potential problems and noticed that while it is, in general, buttery smooth, when i scroll quickly down the app page there is a slight stutter. almost a visual vibration of the app...

having never purchased anything from wirefly before... i assume that wirefly does NOT honor verizon's new-every-two discount. if that's the case how do their discount prices generally compare to verizon's pricing post-NE2 discount. tempted to jump on the wirefly pre-order but don't want to...

so, i was patiently awaiting the 'bolt like many out there but at this point i don't believe it'll be released any time soon. the last statement verizon made referenced 4g phones being released q2. not q1. i'm not in a 4g area (service supposedly arrives end of the year) but i did (and...

Samsung Stealth V 4G To Beat HTC Thunderbolt To Verizon? granted, it likely won't beat thunderbolt to market (fingers crossed) and it is a samsung (aka poor update record, plasticky, and to my eyes fugly)... but a 4.3 inch AMOLED screen and verizon 4g... this article is reporting it has a new...

had been considering an iphone4 but i think i am writing that off as an option. i don't care for the droid x (has been laggy each time i've used it) and can nab a certified Dinc for around a hundred bucks for a year. my concerns: crap shoot getting a certified used phone? also, would LOVE to...

just to put things into perspective... i know everyone here (myself included) is working themselves into a frothy lather over this phone. but the average consumer has NO IDEA about all this delay and phone features kerfuffle. i was discussing my waffling between the thunderbolt and the iphone...

first off, i dig android and do NOT care of the cult of all things apple and "i." HOWEVER, having netflix and skype smoothly integrated into the iphone is very very tempting. especially since netflix now seems unlikely for the thunderbolt and some are questioning skype integration as well. in...

since my area won't have 4g til the end of the year (according to my local verizon reps) i was wondering... will you be able to do the c2c thang via wifi if you don't have 4g? and i've never had a phone with ffc camera before so does anyone know how well the other video chat clients work...

ok, if these prices hold up at launch then i am DEFINITELY not springing for a thunderbolt. at least until they price it competitively. the atrix is, stats-wise, a superior phone with a laptop dock, and as much as i like htc phones there is no way that a thunderbolt is worth a hundred buck...

I was considering using my upgrade for a Thunderbolt (i like htc, i want a BIG screen, would like FFC as well) but I do not live in a 4G-covered area. Does anyone know if a Thunderbolt buyer will be forced into 4G billing if they only have 3G coverage? If so, considering an Incredible and just...
