New Thunderbolt 4G video!

[rushmore]

Doesn't the operating system itself already take advantage of the Dual core processors? I'd think this alone would make the phone operate nicer, and as developers integrate dual core support into the apps, it'll only get better.

Honeycomb does, but the Xoom is no faster than the gTablet. Slower compared to a modded gTablet with newer Nvidia beta drivers. No overclocking involved.

The 2nd video he posted is even cooler:

If you are going to watch only one speed test video, watch this one:

20+ Mbps? Wow! The Thunderbolt on LTE is mindboggling.

Please go to post #5 for perspective. It is VERY VERY easy to go over 5GB, yet alone 2GB with 4G. It is faster, so folks will want to use it more. The ENTIRE reason for carriers posturing about bandwidth- they make more moeny this way amd NOT less as the imply for the "humble, sweet low use users" as the carriers say they are "defending".

Lock into an unlimited plan NOW, or be doing a Homer Simpson level, "DOH!" in a few months.

Yeah but like he said it wasnt because it was slow. I dont use that much data either although I will be getting the thunderbolt for unlimited i dont stream videos or music so I cant see me going that much higher for data per month. I have a laptop that I use to watch videos and that I use my phone for just looking up websites and get on fb but will see how much I use once I get my tb.

You need a SIM card on LTE phones. But more importantly, Verizon sees the MEID number of the device, and knows that it's a LTE compatible device. There comes your spanking new metered LTE plan.

Not true if you buy it off contract you will still keep the same contract and therefore the same features and unlimited data as long as you dont sign a new contract.

Well at the moment the only other devices you could try are LTE USB Aircards.
They don't even have voice feature on their plans so I'm not sure how's that gonna work.

Carriers are talking crap, since they can just as easily throttle heavy users, rather than hit everybody with tiered. This is a pure money making ploy. Nothing else.

Exactly. On one hand carriers say it's because of heavy data usage, on the other they say that only a small percentage of users exceed they data cap (on ATT that is) so you shouldn't be concerned with it. Which is it?

LTE is simply mean faster data, not more data, yet because it is the new shiny they'll justify changing the rates.

That's fine, but how about carriers refund me for the amount of minutes and data and messages I don't use.

Rubbish.
