My review of the Thrill thus far.
Pros: 3D is awesome. Screen size is great. The colors on it are very vibrant compared to my Atrix. Wifi speeds seem a lot faster than my Atrix was. GPS seems to be quite reliable compared to my old Captivate.
Cons: Battery life has a bit to be desired (will have to try the tweaks). Some apps lag in opening such as the Camera. Gorilla Glass is missing (presumably). Gingerbread isn't on it yet (supposedly inside of 30 days is what AT&T promised)
Overall, the phone is pretty solid. I think it's a great device.

I downloaded Automatic Task Manager and my battery life has improved!
My battery life was at 72% around 3:00. Had company over and the 3D apps and camera were used a lot. Did some texting, internet usage and a few phone calls. I'm at 58%. Considering how much the 3D was used, I think this is great.

I just switched from an old Nokia N85. I hated that thing so much. I hadn't owned a current android phone other than casually playing with the wife's Streak 5. It's been about a weak now, and I've got the thing rooted which was ridiculously easy to do. I've trimmed it down and I'm really enjoying it. It's quick traversing thru the menus, graphics are fast, and it's decently sized coming from the streak. The wife loves the 3D, so she got one too lol. I rooted her phone too, just so she could have the 3D button turn on the camera instead of 3D.

I like this thread! It is good to hear the good.
I have had my Thrill for over 6 months now and I would not swap it for anything that's out there. Upgraded to GB with a little hassle and it works flawlessly.
I am a 3D user and this is just one piece of my plan. As to my knowledge their isn't a better 3D phone available. The iPhones, Galaxies, Notes and many other fine phones just don't fill the bill.
My phone has the 2700mah battery and will go 3 days unless I get too aggressive, 2 days normally, and 1 day "balls to the wall" (an old fighter pilots term).
... and I am an old pilot.
Aviation is one of my primary uses and the Thrill runs everything in that line. Moving map gps (Avilution), Airport Info (AirNav), flight planning (FltPlan.com) and several flavors of weather (Aviation Weather NOAA/NWS).
This is NOT just a phone, it is a very powerful Tablet, Flight Kit, Nav System. It receives data and updates weather below 5000ft. That means "live Radar' (Radar Now).
DropBox and Box solve the data, invoicing, time keeping and photo uploads, making all available on my devices (Android, PC, Tablets). these clouds add about 53GB to my storage.
CONS: the only things not so perfect, GPS is not HOT in a jet cockpit with electrically heated windows but works great in the car or a normal private plane with unheated windshield. My HTC 7 Tab works the best, cockpit or cabin.
I just wanted to say it is a GREAT PHONE/TAB for me.
WHAT'S NEXT .... A 3D Note II 5.5" Phablet that plays on my 3D 10.1 TAB and 17" 3D Lap, hahaha
