Made the tb switch and not looking back.

After giving up on battery and reboot issues I exchanged my tb for the charge. At first I was set back by the feel of all the plasic but after installing the extended battery and using the divice for several days I can honestly say I think it is a more complete phone.

I'm going all day on one charge, have had no system lock ups, no reboots, and am liking the 4g network better on the charge.

A few things I miss on the tb are the sense os and the kick stand. With my use I can't tell it has less ram. For those of you considering making the switch I highly recommend it. The phone is not perfect but with all things considered I think the charge is a better phone.
 
i really dont think you need the extended battery with the droid charge. Coming from iphone, i notice the droid charge battery to be about equal, with 4g lte, gps, bluetooth etc.. all running. Correct me if i am wrong, but i think by android standard, that's considered amazing?

My coworkers who has the thunberbolt, all i see them do is charging the phone in the office whenever they can lol.
 
After too many days of reboots and having to charge the battery CONSTANTLY, I too returned my thunderbolt and got the charge...I miss the heft of the thunderbolt (i like my phones heavy for some reason), but am getting used to the charge's lighter frame. Also, the screen is f'ing gorgeous! I am very happy I made the switch.

One thing though, my charge always drops down to 3g a couple minutes after boot, and doesn't seem to ever bounce back up to 4g. Is this a known problem with the charge?

Overall, a happy camper here...
 
Gratz. I did the same. Make sure you download Go Launcher or Launcher Pro and Dolphin browser Hd to get the most out of your new beast.
 
I also switched from the TB to charge. I am very happy I did. I just sold my TB and THREE batteries on eBay.....I needed that many when I traveled. Love the lightweight of the charge.....no more brick in my pocket. Screen is just fabulous.....especially outside compared to the TB. And the battery is awesome compared to the TB. I use dolphin for my browser.....works great. Just starting to play with other launchers. The stock works fine for me.
 
Same here. Was past my trade in date through Verizon and after my 3rd tbolt with multiple problems I put my tbolt on craigslist and got lucky that someone wanted to trade straight up for the Charge. All I can say is wow, what an amazing phone. No regrets here.

Mine is staying on 4g fine. Maybe im in a better 4g area?
 
I'm glad to hear the positive reviews. I called VZW tonight and after 4 tb's I requested a charge and they are over nighting one to me for no extra fee. Pretty pumped about losing the blunderbolt.

Who'd you talk to and what did you say?

No idea. I called 611, explained the whole situation to one woman, she transferred me to tech support and she was the one who offered me the charge.

Well maybe I'll have to try again...I've tried 611, the local store, etc and no help. Thanks.
One other thing. Were you outside your 14 day deal?
 
I felt bad for the t bolt guys. I wrote up something on how I got my free replacement on a thread named random reboot. If you want to read.
 
Annoying....just tried again and they balked. Wanted to send me a renowned Droid x and charge me for the battery.....

I know im kinda late on this one but you can get the case that they sell at vzw that has a kick stand built into it. That was the first thing i got after getting this beauty. Its a great and sturdy case with a holster and swivel back.
