Bye everyone! - Thunderbolt General

After 2 long years of my trusty old TBolt, I've, as of 3 hours ago, moved on to the greener pasture of the Galaxy S4. Hope to see some more of you at some point, but it was fun to be a part of this small circle of Thunderbolt owners.
Phoenix

We will see you tomorrow.

Agreed, I'd rather have an older S3. I'm still holding out for the HTC One for Verizon. Android central had an article about the its version that will be shipped with it.

You all will laugh when you grab an S3 or S4 after holding the ole bolt for so long. Don't drop your Samsung device guys, I cracked my screen third day I had it. I own an S3 and an HTC one for sprint flashed to page plus. I'll stick with htc.

Me too. My bolt has been a tank, and I expect the same durability, sound quality, and camera performance on the one. I played with a good friend's AT&T SGS4 quite a bit, and was unimpressed. Quite a few waves of devices have come and gone since I've had the bolt, time to move.

I left the bolt last week. I want to thank all of the DEVs and Testers. You guys rock!

[Q] After The Blaze, What Is Your Next Device?

I plan on picking up the S3 at or before launch. Which means I am dumping the Blaze. :-/
What will be the next device you move to?
Sent from my SGH-T769 using XDA Premium App
Im thinking the S3 as well. Or maybe the Evo LTE. Im not a big fan of Sense usually, but from what I've heard Sense 4 is much better. Definitely going back to Sprint though.

So you are wondering which device that people are gonna switch to after the Blaze, which came out like three months ago?
Errybody stackin chips and errything. lol.

Sense 4 is definitely a improvement but after having a s3 briefly its time for another.

Just meaning that they're expensive. Phone prices are comparable to home computers these days lol.
Also I'm bhurt cuz I started w/ the first mt3g, so I was spoiled by cyanogen early on. Now I f'ed up and
picked the wrong phone. BOO! T-mobile sucks. fully.
Going for the TMobile SIII. Been a big fan of Samsung galaxy line.

I'm holding out hope that one of Google's alleged 5 or 6 different Nexus line of phones will release later this year and that I'll like one of them.
The Galaxy Nexus for example, irks me to no end because it doesn't have a memory card slot. I have a 64g memory card, and there's no way I'm ever downgrading how much music I have on my phone.

Upgrade

Hi everybody, it has been 24 beautiful months with my HTC evo 4g and I have upgrade opportunity (sprint) I have flashed around 30 ROMs and I'm still in love with this phone, any ideas of what sprint phone will make a very good upgrade I just don't want to upgrade to a phone that is going to disappoint me since my evo hasn't.
A lot of people tells me that I should wait for the iphone 5, I'm not really sure, thnx in advance

Those are the top phones on Sprint right now,

IMO, the Samsung Galaxy S3 is the most beautiful and exciting phone I've ever held. Until I played with that for a few minutes, I was positive my next phone would be an iPhone. My DROID Charge is about a year older than the S3 and I couldn't help but think of what a difference a year makes. That difference was enough to convince me that the Android is much more fun to own. My phone is a hobby, always a progress in motion. For better or worse.

I would suggest to wait for the galaxy s Note 2 . Been waiting for it to come,and from what i heard the spec are quite high, its the like enlarge version of Galaxy S3.

Then I can expect some sickness from Team Acid... that is great news.
I didn't even know about the Galaxy Note 2 until this thread was started lol. After reading everything about it it is definitely going to be my next phone. It is a BEAST!.. I'm sure I'll get used to its size. Thanks for starting this thread btw.
My wife and mother in-law just picked up a couple of Galaxy S3 16GB yesterday for free.. it was hard not to take the bait, but the Note 2 is so close now.

Whooops, I meant pre-orders are available, but those who did pre-order should have received the very first units friday or monday (today)!
I can't wait to get a job!
Wind has the Note II coming soon too to Canada. I just got my SGS4G though, so it would be a while for me to get that. lol. I go with their tab plan, pay your bill and they apply 10% of your bill to pay off the phone. Maybe it will lower the price of the S3 though.
That sounds like the tmobile value pan here in the US. Pay a small fee to buy the phone then part of your new bill goes to paying the rest of the phone off. We switched to the value plan, and our bill went down even with adding a s3 with unlimited data for my mother in law. Wife is picking up the note 2 as I write this. Probably the last post from this device, it has been a rock sold device for almost two years and we'll sit in the drawer as a backup now....

I'll say this... My wife and her mom got free GS3's and I decided to wait it out for the GN2. If you decided to go with the GN2 you will not regret it.

How's It Going Guys

Hey guys, long time no see.
Stopped by to check out to see how the Thunderbolt has been coming along.
Nice to see you guys FINALLY received the source code! Looks like a few developers are still trying to make the Thunderbolt more enjoyable.
I miss a lot of you guys and hope the best for all of you!
And in case anyone was wondering, I moved to the Droid RAZR from my Thunderbolt and now I got my hands on a Galaxy S3. I hope to see some of you soon!!

Have fun with that s3. I'll be getting a DNA soon. The Motorola razr series suck lol.

Yeah I felt like I was holding a piece of plastic junk at first... but I actually enjoyed it for the short time I had it. Coming off of ICS on my Thunderbolt and jumping into 4.2.2 jellybean was nice so that's probably why I liked it. Haha. The screen on it was amazing though.
Have fun when you grab a DNA. That phone is impressive! I'd probably have one if I didn't snatch this S3 for only $100. Lol.

Just ordered S5 today. Coming from S4, before that the S3.
Im coming from my nexus s 4g. My family bought it since it was only $30 at the time. It was a great first phone and had that pure android experience. I ended up despising it for its awful specs. At the end of our contract I knew inwas gonna get a fast phone. I wanted amasung again, so I was tied between the note 3 and gs5. I ended going with the gs5 since it was cheaper and newer.
