I can safely assume you are not playing Angry Birds. Those birds eat battery for breakfast.

Any word on root for the TB?

Maybe 15-30minutes worth of Angry Birds every couple of days nothing crazy. I'm really not a huge gammer especially on my phone . I do listen to a lot of music and mostly bluetooth streaming at least 2 hrs a day and lots of email and facebook haha

Root would be easy but good luck making phone calls while using data or using LTE on a custom ROM, the phone can achieve root with a simply copy/paste from a G2 essentially the same but without any other LTE phone on the market it might take a while before you see a custom ROM.

Rooting isn't just for flashing roms. And i doubt achieving root will be a simple "copy/paste".

I'm jealous of all you guys/gals who will be able to get the TB in February; either 14th or 24th. I'm not eligible for an upgrade until the end of July. I can pay $20 to upgrade 2 months early, but I don't know how long I can stand my Storm 2.

I wish I had more options aside from paying full retail or waiting until the end of May.

Believe me I speak from experience unfortunately, get rid of that trash regardless of the cost!!! You will never regret it.

Yeah it will probably be similar wait for root like the Incredible my guess 2-6weeks ( iknow that's like the cable company time estimations haha)

It's why I'll buy it within a week of being out and keep my Incredible till root is achieved , or hell I may just keep my Incredible as a MP3 player and back up phone
 
For what it's worth...

On the phone with Best Buy today and the mobile sales rep. initially had no idea on a pre-order date for the T-bolt. His manager then chimed in and corrected him. They then told me to watch their Sunday ad for an announcement on this. So, I'm guessing that somewhat substantiates the screen shot of the Best Buy circular for this Sunday. Hey, if we get some real access to pre-ordering here, it will make it much more of a Super Sunday!

I do have an upgrade available when I log into my verizon account. I can even use it on an iPhone. The downside is that it locks me into a 2-year contract and I was hoping to get down to a 1-year contract.

My wife's line isn't eligible and she'll probably be pissed if I get the TB and she's stuck with her Storm 2. She just wants the front facing camera so she can video chat with her family in CA.
 
Preorder this sunday and released on the 14th. My co worker over in mobile told me that's what he was told. I know alot of you will be skeptical about this so take it for what it's worth. I on the other hand will be in the store this sunday pre ordering, then i will be picking it up on opening day. Employee discount ready :)

do you know if the preorder is also for people that want to buy the phone without a contract and if so is the preorder deposit still the 50.00?:confused:

That is a great idea. I'll keep looking for the "all things root" section here. I still have to get my hands on it first. For $250 I want a feel.
 
I believe the preorder deposit is $50. ANd yea it's for off contract purchase as well. Im paying full retail for the phone.

Some are insecure guurleee men. Or if girls already, insecure maanleee gurls'. ;)
 
^^lmao :) its only natural to be skeptical. if we believed everything we read we would all be sitting in the closet with tinfoil hats on right now so "they" couldn't read our thoughts!:p
 
Hey guys. Just got back from from Best Buy. While I was there, I spoke with the Mobile Dept. The guy I spoke with told me that my local paper on Saturday morning (as we dont get papers on Sundays) will have their best buy insert in it. I normally get the paper at my house around 3AM. I asked him if he could confirm that the Thunderbolt was in this weeks insert. He paused for a few seconds and said "I really can't say anything, but if you want that device, I'd grab your paper as soon as you get it." I will keep everyone posted at 3!!
