Yes, I'll buy your TB off of you for $5
YES. Or if the Samsung galaxy s2 ends up being 4g.

How is MOTO when it comes to updates?
I won't be selling anything, but I will be on the Bionic without a thought.
Sent from my ADR6400L using XDA App
Moto is good enough with updates. I had a Droid X and the Froyo and other maintenance updates came out within an acceptable timeframe IMO.
Right now Verizon gives $200 for a Thunderbolt trade in. Hopefully it's still that much when the Bionic comes out. I cant imagine anyone paying much more than 200 for one of these considering all the problems they have.
Moto is pretty bad at updates.
I loved my D1 so I got an X2 as my upgrade and had nothing but problems. Popping in the audio channel when it went on and off (say, to pick up a call, drop a call, start MP3 playback, stop it, etc.). It was basically useless for taking video, as documented in several reviews (horrible distortion). It would often freeze for 1/2 second when doing something. Reboots a couple times a day, etc.
And no unlocked bootloader.
D3 released with Gingerbread. X has Gingerbread (although my stepson has had reboot issues with his). Still no GB on the X2 though. Amazing.
I'd be very careful going with Motorola at this point, and this is from a former advocate. After my experience with the X2, I'd never get a phone I couldn't run a custom ROM on if I had to. It's just not worth it.

So one device means they're bad at updates? I guess you didn't see the articles a few months back that showed the most updated android phones were made by Motorola and the carrier (believe it our not) with the most updates pushed out was Verizon.
Sorry, motorola is a close second.

They send you a gift card for your phone. I'll have to call and see if that gift card can be applied to a bill. If that's the case, Ill get a Bionic off contract and have them charge it to my bill (I did this when I got my Droid X). When I get the gift card for the TB, Ill apply that to my bill balance.

I wouldnt get it unless motorola ships it with an unlocked bootloader.

going wait it out see what xda has to say about the bionic.
As seeing that the Droid 3 Just came out and the Bootloader is yet again locked, I am pretty sure the Bionic is going to be locked also.
I have another Galaxy S3 coming tomorrow this is my third one due to signal and constant data dropped all the time..They offered to switch it for Razzr Maxx or another phone in near future.. Im honestly thinking the radio just isnt strong enough where i live because my rezound hand no issues
I wouldnt go to the razr maxx. Last time i checked bootloader was still locked... I personally had the razr maxx for 4 month

I'm in your exact same position. I drop literally 70% of the calls in my house unless I use a headset and leave the phone sitting a certain way in a certain place in the house. It's beyond ridiculous. I've been waiting to ratchet up the *****ing again for a phone that's worth the replacement...just hasn't been one out yet. The razr hd looks promising. But I know the motos seem to be locked forever due to their lock method...and I need root cuz ads anger me profusely.

I broke my htc thunderbolt screen last month and sent my phone to asurion to get a replacement. I was wondering if they still have thunderbolts in stock or if I will be receiving a different phone?
Anyone's guess but I don't think they still have the TB... usually Asurion will give you the next ****tiest (oldest really) phone closest to yours, so Rezound or Droid Incredible 4G LTE or dinc2 if it's 4G...something like that, don't expect a Nexus or RAZR. :/

I got one in a few weeks ago. Yes, you will get a refurbished Thunderbolt. They are still stocked.
Sent from my ADR6400L using xda premium
If they are out of stock (which they probably aren't) they'll do what jimmy said and give you the next phone up that's a refurb. They typically won't let you get a different brand unless you complain a lot about the current brand and even then you might have to go through that at least three times. I went through this several times with warranty replacements of my wife's Motorola droid 3. Not asurion of course but they have basically the same process. They wouldn't let me exchange it for anything different at all. My wife finally sold that garbage and she ended up getting an iPhone 4s that she complains about on a daily basis.

If there's something I learned doing business with Asurion - once you get a refurbished phone, you will probably get 2-3 more with worse issues until you finally get a new phone.
I hope you have better luck than I.

I'd say that you are very lucky. When I originally had the original Moto Droid - I had to get a total of 3 refurbs each having their own issues before I finally got one that was brand new. So consider yourself saved from the agonizing pain of Asurion

Comperable phones to our beloved Tbolt are the Samsung droid charge (which is a SGS1 with 4g), and even worse, the LG Revolution. I'd be leery of them trying to swap you out for one of those crap piles.
Duely blundered from my thunderdolt.
I've been searching for the lowest prices for the HTC DNA and stumbled upon this deal and figured I'd share it with you guys.
The HTC DNA for only $119.99... probably the best deal out there right now.
If you use coupon code TALK4TEN it MIGHT lower the price to $99.99, but it didn't work for me. Anyways, I figured it would maybe be worth a shot for you since it has worked for many other people... but it MAY have expired.
Enjoy guys.

My Thunderbolt is not horrible. I am a power user and while I have had problems with mine, the worst issues were with custom roms. Data drops were fixed with a new SIM card. I do have an extended battery that lasts all day. I was ready to throw this phone against a wall when I kept having issues with different roms. I had to remove root because the company I work for requires MobileIron to connect to our exchange server. Since I have been back to factory condition the phone actually works pretty well!

Agreed! I love my TB. I have flashed so many ROMS i can not even keep them all straight. I have been stuck with Liquid ICS for a few months and it has been FANTASTIC! I flashed the most recent dual radio last night and hope it clears up the data in/out issues i have had. I would love them to fix the video camara and netflix at some point but from what i read Liquid isn't working on the project anymore. Is that true?
I have an extended battery and with Liquid i get at the very least 16 hours of use including some standby time. Liquid's rom made a world of difference on battery life.
In any case i am fairly new to this forum. Played over at CM with their rom for a while and still have it on my Touchpad. Love that rom!
Anybody know of a good rom for Droid X by Motorola? I rooted and installed one on my wifes a few months back but know it isnt perfect. I cant recall what it is at the moment but if anyone has had a good experience with a Droid X rom please share.

As a DNA user who loves his phone, it's arty if you're going to wait till the 18th I'd wait till the m7 odds announced on the 19th just to see if and when it's coming to Verizon. That's just me, but unless you're hellbent on the DNA, ous wait to see if the DNA+ it's right around the corner.

I went back to the site (justmywireless.com) to see if there were any hints as to the sale price. They have it in sneak peek mode...I picked up the DNA for me and Galaxy 3's for my wife and son.....I paid $160 for all 3!!
They even have Galaxy 3 (white and brown) renewed units for free with upgrade....I was seriosuly thinking of going that route for my son, but in the end paid 44.99 for his new one.
The m7 is going to be priced too high I'm sure, that's why I didn't wait.

I remember hearing that the deals on wirefly and amazon were so good because their penalties were so high and because they technically count as a premium reseller, and thus you have to go to then with warranty issues and whatnot instead of going to Verizon. I wonder if this reseller is the same.

I just wanted to post this for all of you considering getting a new phone on AT&T, such as the One, S4, Blackberry, etc. According to what I have read, it looks like AT&T is starting a promotion tomorrow that will give an instant $100 or more credit toward a new phone of your choice when you trade in your old working smart phone, ( 3 years old or less). This may help in the decision making process for many people.

I'm starting to hate AT&T even more. I recently tried to get an early upgrade (60 days away) & was turned down over the phone. It really pissed me off since I've been a long time customer in good standing. Pissed me off so much, I've been considering going to TMO & now they do this to me. Hopefully this last for more than 30 days since they won't budge unless im within 30 days or less.
Can you trade in a rooted and unlocked phone that has been flashed?
I want the S4 pretty badly and I want to trade in my 1 year old HTC One X but I unlocked, rooted and flashed this thing.
