Nice specs, but what will be the battery capacity?
After this TB battery disaster, I dont think Ill ever consider another HTC unless it's packing like an 1800mah battery
I know I will be. HTC and Verizon dropped the ball with this phone

No one has said yet, that's the big question, but I don't care. I can get 40+ hours out of my extended now on the TB. I'll get the extended battery when it comes out for it.

1800?... i say at least 5000mAh and a turbo charger that can charge it in 10 minutes!
My wife is getting my Tbolt and the Vigor will be my new monster. I cant wait for it. Im not complaining about the Tbol, Ill hit 1.8ghz, 63mflops and it runs CM7 like a raped ape but dual core is what ive been waiting for. Its so sad that the Bionic appears to get released 1 month beforehand and its been awaited for months and this beast will smoke it and appears to be using/ready for ICS with that screen and the processor.
Im excited...... and working overtime in advance
I read somewhere the Vigor will have a 3.5in screen. IF true, I wouldn't want it.
I'm still holding out for the next gen Nexus on Verizon LTE

I wouldn't trust what you heard about that screen size. The Vigor has a 720p screen and a 1280x768 resolution. I'm betting it'll be a 4.3 incher or bigger. Coming from the Incredible, I'm gettin this bad boy for sure.

I'll hold off my upgrade for more information on the Vigor. If it has a slide out keyboard and a 3.5" screen then im not interested. At the moment my beast mode Thunderbolt running Chingys latest Gingivitis is monster enough for me
I hope something with an unlocked bootloader and keyboard comes out soon. I saw a samsung epic like device a few weeks ago is expected for verizon. Well I saw a burry picture of one.

I'm tempted to make either the Vigor or the Samsung Galaxy S2 my next phone. It just depends which comes out first, really. That, and if Verizon ruins the GS2 or not.

If you think this phone sucked on battery life, try out the dInc. I could kill that battery in about an hour. At least this thing charges fast.
I thought the Vigor is supposed to have a 4.6" screen? I'm very interested in a slightly larger HD screen, but my Tbolt performs so well that I'm waiting to see what pans out with the Nexus Prime rumors.
Thanks, Robrecht
Thunderbolt 2 is coming in a few months.
I've seen the pictures of this and a few other phones from my corporate Verizon Rep.
A slew of new LTE devices are on their way, from the Xoom (yes, I you can send your current 3G zoom in and upgrade it to LTE when ready) to other offerings.
Honestly, I saw 6 or 7 devices...they are pushing towards dual core LTE hand sets.
I know...I know.... Cool story bro, pics or it didn't happen, etc.
MY VZW Rep told me and showed me pictures in complete confidentiality.
But I'm letting slip a TBolt 2 is on the way...in a few months.
All this being said, we've seen the delays and debacles for the original Tbolt, for the Bionic, etc. I'm only saying this is what I was shown and told just last week. Anything can change...as we all know.
So does this mean EOL for the TBolt? If so, that was short lived... only 7 months?? Such BS for their "flagship" LTE phone
Gotta remember...we are on Dinc2, X2, D3, etc.
Flagship phone, first and only of it's kind...and I HOPE they learned enough to make the 2 better.
I looked at my rep with big eyes....and before I could say it...he was like yep, a little more than a 6 month life cycle on the OG tbolt.

Good thing I went with 1 year contract before they got rid of them. Sounds like a lot of new stuff to chose from. Might leave Verizon though and try Sprint or T-Mobile. Especially since they seem to carry the Nexus phones.

HTC's not really going to launch them with unlocked bootloaders. They'll offer a tool online that unlocks it for you, but it voids your warranty. You didn't think they'd let you get away that easily did you? Lol
Just search it on Google. The info came out a couple days ago.

If you are in the know, please share with me your thoughts about the pictures that engadget posted up on the Incredible S. The strong reason I did a pre-order with BB for the Tbolt is because I prefer HTC over Moto who has the Bionic coming out. But now that the Incredible S is also coming soon. Anyone willing to wait for it? Or do a 30-day test of the Tbolt then think then? Obviously either would be better than my current Eris. That gimmick with the soft keys that rotate with the phone is nice.
Arrgggg....!!!
It's nice and it has 2.3!! I give up trying to keep up with the latest phones! I need a 7th job to buy a flagship phone every 2 months!
The Incredible s is not even in the same class with the Bionic or Thunderbolt. Look up the ram and processors and screen size.

RAM - arent they both 768mb
Screen - that's really a preference
Processors - they're both 1ghz snapdragons, but maybe the TB has the newest generation chip.. i dunno... I'm too lazy to Google the specs
I think in general they are close, but the TB is available on the 24th (or the 17th or the 19th or the 21st, depending on which BB or CSR you ask). The DINC S looks to only be available in Europe in Q2.
Also the TB has already been rooted do you can update to the new software the future htc phones have.

Ahh, sorry. I'm just forum happy today.
just curious, kenyu73, do you subscribe to the 1 year plan? you got a bunch of phones in such a short span.
Here is the htc page. But we know they say all the good stuff and leave out the bad.
http://www.htc.com/www/product/incredibles/specification.html
I'm sure the price for the Inc S will be alot cheaper than Tbolt. Only a month apart supposedly since the Inc S will so they say release in March.
This seems more to the people who don't live in the 4G network area since it is only 3g. Smaller internal memory. Anyone else got some better comparing skillz than me?

Some phones I got by using my kids upgrades (i just buy their phones straight out from Verizon or ebay). I have 5 phones on my family plan and the contracts are spread out, usually one pops up every 6-9 months. Plus I resell the phone I had and recycle it into what I got next (or use it to buy my kids next phone, etc).

I only got a mom and dad sharing the family plan and I also use their upgrades.
The conclusion is that the Incredible S is a downgrade. I'm sure though that it will be cheaper for the price concious people. Anyone going to cancel their pre-order for this? I won't.
Wait, is the Incredible S Verizon? If not, I shouldn't even care.

enough for me to cancel my pre-order. at least give me some time to see what comes out. 4.3 isn't for me. 4 inch screen is as big as I want really. hopefully something good comes out soon.
I wouldn't expect it on Verizon. The version announced is GSM and those rarely come to CDMA. They just happen to be using the name Incredible (notice the lack of "Droid").

I was thinking the same until I realized the TB is almost the same size of my Fascinate. The TB actual display uses more space on the phone then the Fascinate (ie: less bezel). The TB is only like a millimeter wider and tad thicker then the Fascinate BUT actually a tiny-tad shorter!
It's CRAZY!
Thunderbolt is 4g 4.3" 1ghz 2nd gen snap, 768mb
Incredible S is 3g 4" 1ghz snap gen?, 768mb

(1) One-year contracts aren't killed until the 17th.
(2) It's better than the Thunderbolt, and lets you lock into unlimited LTE.

Well a whole lot depends on development...as much as j think the tbolt is meh it has a ton of people working on it and will almost certainly have official gingerbread by the summer
The charge is rfs and is unlikely to see gb in any reasonable amount of time...
I think the best comparison is the galaxy s 4g on tmo...even with all the galaxy s revs and on that carrier...that phone is a joke development wise....no virtually no roms kernels mods at all...and its been out for a little while now
If your happy with a pretty stock device that is barely an improvement over the fascinate.....then I guess the charge is alright
also it seems verizon killed 1 year contracts today already...check their website..no option for it
The only way I'd get a Droid Charge would be if my Fascinate broke. Otherwise, it's not enough of an upgrade to justify the cost. The only other reason I'd upgrade to it early is if they announced that unlimited 4g is ending. I feel that the Charge is closer to an upgrade from the Fascinate than the Thunderbolt, but neither are a significant jump.
Is it made by Samsung?
Oh..it is? Then nope, not getting it.
The unlimited 4g is my concern. I would have got the Tbolt if the camera and screen was any comparison at all. Honestly I do believe that once Big red drops the Gingerbread SG2 there will be a 2.3 upgrade for this phone (droid charge). But I could just be dreaming in la la land about that.

well u could build kernels for yourself as i dont see anyone else getting it
I just received my upgrade for Verizon this month. I'm on a Droid 1 and love it, but I do have a few things that I would love to have better. I'm gonna check out the Charge once it releases (hopefully Thursday the 14th) and see how it runs. Can't decide if I want to wait for the Bionic or not though. The 768 MB of RAM in the T'bolt is tempting too. I just know ill be hitting a 1 year agreement instead of 2. This stuff moves too fast to wait 2 years.

actually you wont be getting a 1 year upgrade cuz verizon killed those yesterday
and if your on xda..im assuming you care about development (roms/kernels/themes/mods)...well the bionic will be as locked down as the atrix (read boring)...and the droid charge unless its ridiculously close to the fascinate and jt and company decide to throw it a bone will have no development (look at the galaxy s 4g subforums for an idea)...if you *need* to get one of the 3 mentioned phones then the tbolt is the only legit option for development...personally id wait on better
From what I read, the 1 year contracts will end on the 17th so maybe if I like the Thunderbolt or the Charge ill grab it on the 1 year. And I do keep up with development on my Droid and a Coby Kyros tablet I have, both having different kernels and roms. I'll probably run whatever phone I get stock for awhile until a lot of testing and releasing gets done on each. And I get what you're saying with the Thunderbolt being the easier one (most likely) to be modded. I can't believe the Bionic us going to be locked down like that.

Been running at 1.1 GHz for a year straight now. The RAM sucks though which is why I'm so ready for an upgrade. The super AMOLED Plus would be nice to have too.

personally i wouldnt get any of the upcoming phones...id hold out for a galaxy s2 if i stay on big red
but my point on the charge is...the galaxy s 4g is the closest case study to the potential development for the charge...and it has.......none
unless people buy jt and company charges...id imagine it would be the same scenario
the bolt (which ive made my stance of the bolt being antiquated already) at least will have working aosp in short order (they have 3g/4g working on cm7 as of last night)
the charge will be lucky to get clean roms and recovery

My gf just got a dx2 as a replacement for her fascinate. It's a nice device out of the box. I easily prefer my t-bolt with a nice Rom though. So what I'm saying is if you are looking for a stock experience and don't care about 4g than a dx2 wouldn't be a bad choice. There seems to be little if any developing for the dx2 so it wouldn't be my choice. The dual core isn't as impressive as you might think, although I did notice a little less lag using the camera.

+1 i agree as a rep my self i do rather like the AMOLED screen on the Charge but the dev community for the thunderbolt is what keeps me going
So what happens when a Verizon rep gets caught on a rooted tbolt?
they dont care as long as we are not promoteing it or even talking about it in store since it technically voids warranty. It is our device we can do what we want with it. i show mine to my bosses all the time and are just shocked at the improvments that have been made to it.
x2 if you don't want/need 4G (but trust me, once you see it, you'll want it). Charge if you prefer amoled display & don't mind Touchwiz & you're not a flash addict. Tbolt if you like to try different roms & kernels. Among the 3 phones you listed, the Tbolt dev community is most active

look at the speedtest in my sig. That is all the upgrade you need!!!
Faced with a similar decision and went with the bolt. Thrilled that I did. Great dev community and love the phone. 4g when I have it is sweet. Family members just got the x2 and in comparison to my bolt with Th3ory on it, the x2 feels wicked slow even with 2 cores behind it
If you don't care about rooting and different roms get charge. That display is gorgeous! Otherwise bolt. Forget about a 3G phone...
X2 was outdated before it came out. no 4g.
now if you really want a huge community go with thunderbolt
if you really reallly like touchwiz go for the charge
oh and if your afraid the thunderbolt isnt an update from the incredible? you'd be sorely mistaken. I used to have the incredible and this is so much better. processor is much stronger (can oc to 1.9) and the ram on this makes it run smooth as butter.
I personally think the Thunderbolt is a gorgeous phone. Loved it since the moment I got it. 4G everywhere allows me to download any new ROM's (200+ MB) in a matter of minutes. Community is damn near booming. Its a great phone, definitely will be sticking with it for a long time.

I went with the last week when my girlfriend and I moved to our own plan. Took it back 2 days later and got the thunderbolt... Best Decision Ever.. lol
Charge honestly felt like a downgrade from my Droid X... even with the 4G
Thunderbolt feels sturdy, charge... not so much
Charge screen is definitely more "vivid" but I feel that the thunderbolts screen was a step up from the droid x..
So while the Charges screen was pretty nice.. thunderbolt is still enough for me..
As far as battery life goes.. I know I only really had the charge for a day.. but compared to my first day with the thunderbolt the phones were relatively equal for me
In the end.. i say tbolt... but its all in personal preference.. never played with an X2
freakin' verizon. lol... i know some of you guys are going to be dumped your TB's for it.
Verizon and Moto can keep that one. My Thunderbolt with extended battery has substance and mass! It's fast and mean! I can take the battery out and use it as a weapon if I want to! It's MANLY!
The RAZR on the other hand is skinny and weak looking. What if I want to use the battery for a ninja star? It's a no-go with it (even if they do call it a RAZR, talk about false advertising, sheesh!). My wife or mother may want one of these, but not this MAN!

I'm not sure if I want the Razr, Nexus Prime, or HTC Rezound. The more I read about the Razr and reviews on it, the more I want it.
But the HTC Edge being the first quad-core phone? That sounds intriguing but I hear it's only HSPA+ 21 which is AT&T's old "4G" network.

But the HTC Edge being the first quad-core phone? That sounds intriguing but I hear it's only HSPA+ 21 which is AT&T's old "4G" network.

considering that HTC is just barely going to release the 'Rezound' next week, i'm sure it'll be awhile before the Edge comes out. i know news feeds are suggesting a late 2011' / early 2012 date.. but i highly doubt that. more so it'll be late spring/early summer before it comes out.
I gotta keep my bolt, ill never go back to moto with their locked bootloader

I'm not exactly concerned about the release date since I just got my thunderbolt from my mom last Sunday(and since I'm eligible for an upgrade... I'm patient.), I just wanna know what network it's gonna debut on. Lol, I work for AT&T and I have Verizon service

since it's only locked in the US, there's apparently already been a work around for the bootloader. they're talking about it on the RAZR forums.

Verizon and Moto can keep that one. My Thunderbolt with extended battery has substance and mass! It's fast and mean! I can take the battery out and use it as a weapon if I want to! It's MANLY!
The RAZR on the other hand is skinny and weak looking. What if I want to use the battery for a ninja star? It's a no-go with it (even if they do call it a RAZR, talk about false advertising, sheesh!). My wife or mother may want one of these, but not this MAN!
Rotflmfao!!!

but as I said before, its Super AMOLED, but not Super AMOLED Plus like the Galaxy S. it has same pixel count as an iphone's 3.5" screen.

What is your point?
Razr is still less ppi by a landslide.
Or are we on this about the Rezound again?
Which screen looks better, the Samsung Fascinate or the Droid Incredible 2?
Guys...
I have a Thunderbolt and due to the length of time I have been with Verizon and issues I have had, they are giving me a new phone of my choice (not a refurb).
What phone would you all go to (those who root and use custom ROMs) if you had your choice of any phone. Keep in mind I have always liked Sense Rom's but have never had a Motorola phone or a Nexus.
Please let me know!!!!
Thanks so much and have a happy new year!!!

I'm personally not very fond of Sense & Motoblur UI. I would suggest the Galaxy Nexus, especially if they are giving you a new phone (hopefully free for you) and one of the major reasons why I would is first and foremost the HD Super AMOLED screen in general PLUS it having a 1280x720 resolution on that beautiful 4.6" screen (black pixels actually turn off instead of illuminating and looking wasted out and colors are 10X more vibrant), the 1.2GHz dual-core processor, PURE Google phone so no custom UI and you get all the updates before any other phone, Android 4.0 (Mmm), 1850mAh battery (soooo much better than the Thunderbolt) and 1080p video recording.
For me that is the only phone that I would go with, especially as far as what phones are out now on Verizon (which aren't that impressive). That HD Super AMOLED screen is just too sweet to pass up!

Better than the Rezound or Razr?? Think I should wait for quad core?
Nexus all the way.

In my opinion I would say so because the Razr has an ugly amount of bezel around the LCD and the resolution is only 960x540 and has the Motoblur overlay and the Rezound is not too bad of a phone, I am just not too much of a fan of the Sense overlay either. I'm not sure but I think quad-core phones won't appear until around Quarter 2 or so of 2012.
Waiting is always not a bad idea, but the Galaxy Nexus is definitely worth it, again IMO. haha hopefully I was some help.

I'm basically the same boat, and but I was told that I could have anything but the Nexus, which is very disappointing. My story is in a different thread further down...

That's pretty messed up. If that's the case though, The HTC Rezound is a no brainier. It's similar spec'd and the display is gorgeous.
Think I should wait for the spring and keep my tbolt? Or is the Rezound or Nexus really worth it??
I think the nexus is definitely worth it.

Find out the most expensive phone they'll give you. Take that value, presuming it's lower than the Nexus, and offer to pay the difference.
howd you get a replacement? They sent me like 5 refurbs. Then finally they sent me a bionic, refurb, and I'm not real thrilled with it. It keeps forcing updates then failing and losing all my data. Kinda tired of dealing with these issues after paying 2400+ a year. At this point I would like to see if the rezound is any better, but they want me to shell out another 250 for the "privilege" of an early upgrade.

I have a business account with several phones which allows me certain "perks"
Don't get a Charge
I had 2 thunderbolts and then did the charge when the random reboot started. Waited for the TB and glad I went back no comparison. Slow, everything, gps, data, email etc. Had a TB a month now and loving it.
I liked my bolt before it was rooted, now that it's rooted I love the sh*t out of it....but if you're in the mood for a change, I agree with the recommendation for the Nexus. I got to play with one for a good hour or so last week and really fell in love. I'm not 100% sure if it was the hardware or ICS that really appealed to me, but since you can get both at the same time, why not go for it?
I personally like the RAZR quite a bit too, but all things being equal, Nexus seems like the way to go.
I'm in the wait crowd. I want the specs of the nexus, but its got some important omissions. The GPU isn't up to snuff for a brand new top of the line phone, and its got no expansion slot for a microsd card. And, did I read the battery isn't user changeable?
I was excited by the nexus, but if the SGS3 is quad core, Super amoled HD (RGB, not pentile) and it can take a memo card, its worth the wait. I'm not so excited about the nexus since it came out.

Hey, sorry about being away, for a while, long story. But the first one that I bought came with bad light leaks. The second one came badly scractched and dented. The next one was the one I had the bulk of the time, but the headphone jack ended up dieing. I was sent a replacement for that which came with a broken ear piece. The final one came with a damaged battery cover, which I just swapped with the previous phone, so no big deal.
The biggest complaint I have had is that they tried to charge me for one of the phones I had sent back, which took at least a half dozen calls and many hours to get fixed. They had sent me text messages saying that they had recieved the phone, but then a series of text messages saying that they were going to charge me for the phone not being returned. It took taking to a manager to check the future bills and a couple forms filled out for them to refund the charge.
More later...

I'm on my 7th or 8th Thunderbolt. I've been having intermittent POP3 email problems ever since I've had the phone(s). I went to a Verizon store a couple of times recently when I had the issue and noticed that with the exact same settings, the Galaxy and the Rezound worked while the Thunderbolt did not. The Bionic and Razr also did not work.
Anyway, they won't let me have anything except for a Charge or Revolution. I think the Revolution is a lesser phone than the Thunderbolt, and I don't know if my POP3 account would work on the Charge. I would've tried it out, but either the store didn't have it or it wasn't working if they did.
Has anyone come across this same issue before? If so, what amount (and nature) of convincing did it take to get them to offer something better?

Droid Maxx seems like a contender... just sayin. I have had my T-bolt for a year now and never had any issues with it
