I got rid of my iPhone 4 and got the incredible. That's s whole different topic, but it was worth it. Thank you for your comparison!
[Droid Incredible General] DS36:
Well I grabbed the t-bolt really so i can lock in my free unlimited 4G contract and continue to pay 78 dollars a month so thats 4g for the 3g price grandfathered in saving 480+ dollars over the next 2 years more than the price of the 249 on contract price

i swap nice clean refurbs all the time with verizon so a better phone is still in the cards for me just wont be brand new...but with the past refurbs i have gotten i really couldn't tell the difference
[Droid Incredible General] Winston Lane:
My exact feelings right now. Also without the 3D... The Incredible S(2) is said to have a 4" screen and front facing camera. And better battery.

DINC

MIUI
[Droid Incredible General] cstrife999:
I would get the Thunderbolt, but honestly it didn't impress me that much. Droid Bionic looks better. As for screen size I'm switching between inc and droid X. Inc's screen is too small, but Droid X's isn't as nice. Games run 1,000 x better on droid X. So really the fascinate seemed to be the phone for me... Until the sluggish nature of it came out... So really I need a super amoled Droid X lol. Bionic's resolution may push me over we will have to see... Also I think the Incredible S may be a 4"er will have to see..
[Droid Incredible General] jetdavdub:
I do agree but the optical doesn't always behave the way I would like
[Droid Incredible General] Devildog8791:
I went by on Friday to take a look at the Thunderbolt. I wasn't really impressed because it didn't look like it had the HTC Hub with the navigation. There were just not too many features that would make me want to go out and get rid of my Incredible.
[Droid Incredible General] serpentine009:
I am at almost a year with my Inc. Personally I agree with the OP. The Thunderbolt is too big for my taste...and sadly the bigger phones seems to be the trend. Hardware is a marginal step forward.

No, you don't. If it was a NiCad then that would be something you would need to do but a lithium battery has no "memory." In fact, a full discharge hurts the battery more than helps. These batteries like to stay charged.
[Droid Incredible General] garywojdan81:
I'm here doing research on my wife's Dinc, I have the Fascinate & just want to add that the lag of the Samsung rfs file system is a thing of the past if you root. Once rooted you can load a debloated, custom rom & install a voodoo kernel & then this phone flies in quadrant, smartbench & real-world performance. Battery life is usually fairly stellar as well. Don't mean to troll or anything, just trying to offer info & experience.
[Droid Incredible General] fillyo:
View from a former Inc owner

I did use the upgrade (1 Yr) to get the T-bolt, sold my Dinc. for $220. I loved my Incredible. After a week with the Thunderbolt, I am not looking back. I do miss the optical mouse and the fact my hand could reach across the screen with one hand. And the Tbolt is much heavier, but I don't mind, Inc was really light. After that, the Thunderbolt is better in almost ever way, sometimes marginally albeit. I had an Amoled, and am just is happy with the Tbolt screen, its big and beautiful, and better in the light. I was hoping for a perfect 4 inch like the Inc 2, but after having this, probably wouldn't go smaller now. Speedwise, they are both fast, no lag whatsoever on the Tbolt though. Bluetooth is just so much better in my car with the Tbolt, people can hear me much better. Battery life was bad the first two days, but in all honesty, has settled in and is better than my Incredible was. 4g is ridiculously fast. Once I root and remove bloatware, life will be great again. In many ways, its like having a bigger, better incredible. Once you get the hardware in your hand, you are sold. Just my two cents.
[Droid Incredible General] cstrife999:
That's not the only lag though. 3G connection is terrible compared to both my inc and X. And battery life is better on both of those. Even when I was on EB16 it was slower than stock Droid X. Quadrant scores are meaningless in all reality. After using each of the three for 6 months or more I'd say the Fascinate is by far the worst in everything minus gaming. The GPU on that thing is stellar... So basically I want a droid x with a super amoled and the GPU in the fascinate... Too much I know
[Droid Incredible General] Capt.D:
This thing smokes the x in speed. My 3g is fine and I had to get an extended battery for my incredible. I feel this is an all around better phone than the incredible and x as well. So far I really have no major complaints and have better battery life after I rooted as well.
[Droid Incredible General] bigsapz:

My next phone definitely needs a trackpad. Its very useful to me.

The Thunderbolt seemed like the next phone for me but I've decided that my Incredible is fine for now. Just so many sweet phones coming out and I get jealous.
[Droid Incredible General] mkeaneaz:
T-Bolt.

I work in a Verizon Call Center. All i hear is the raves about the quickness of this phone. The one major drawback is that the LTE network keeps dropping the 4G on that phone so your phone keeps switching which kills the battery life. I am personally gonna wait for the Motorola Bionic which is coming soon. This phone will have a Dual Core Processor in it with all the features of the T-Bolt.
[Droid Incredible General] Keyboards:
Motoblur for the loss...
[Droid Incredible General] evilducy:
+1 blur sucks.
[Droid Incredible General] AlanPototsky:
It was an easy choice for me. Gave the Incredible to my daughter and picked up a TB .... the $149 price was a key factor in the decision! Would not have done it for more. and no it was not time for an upgrade but Verizon must love me!

Alan
[Droid Incredible General] 1107963:
First of all Thank your for this review.. and I agree with most of you all.. the incredible still have a long way to go...
[Droid Incredible General] DustinBooyah:
I agree, the Incredible is getting Gingerbread so I'm gonna go with next year as being the time to buy. This phone was a ways ahead as far as numbers when it was first released so there's no hurt in waiting 12 more months for whatever ungodly awesome phone Verizon will have in (or out of) stock
[Droid Incredible General] 0soPolar:
Does the T-Bolt have Sense 2.0? I'm loving the way my DInc looks with Warm Z Twopointtwo. No 4G in my area anyway. Will be waiting for a)4G, and b) 2nd Gen 4G Droids (maybe)
[Droid Incredible General] ohredwood:
Thanks for the OP review. I actually looked at it online and said, damn that's a good looking phone, it's the incredible but hotter. After reading your review, I'm relieved to know that I don't have to sweat waiting til my next upgrade to get the TB because of issues. Funny, I probably would of balked at the size too, when I went to buy my incredible, I looked at the one week old moto X and compared the two, it felt sturdy, but the size, damn, it's huge. This phone is big enough clamped to my belt let alone bigger. Thanks...
[Droid Incredible General] RussianMenace:
I went into my local VZW shop on campus and played around with the TB. I do like the size and the weight, I always preferred phones with some weight to them, it's my only complaint with the Dinc...it feels like a cheap toy.

However, overall, there is nothing about the TB that would make me part with my Dinc. Especially with no 4G in my area :D
[Droid Incredible General] Morkai Almandragon:
4g, Sense 2.0 (hub with root), BAMF rom, and a Development movement that is already a freight train to back it. My battery life with Ext battery on TB MURDERS my Battery life with Ext battery on the DInc.

4 hours of constant Pandora through Bluetooth, installing apps, several widgets running at all times, browsing, emailing, texting, etc etc... I am at 70%. Not one phone I have owned to date would do this and not need to be charged by now.
[Droid Incredible General] tsupersonic:
^I'm on the 2150 mAH battery on the Incredible, and I've done 8 hours of Slacker and Pandora (at work, push email/gmail, browsing, phone, etc), and I'll have about 40-50% at the end of the day. Incredible comes off charger at 7ish AM, and I plug it in at usually midnight.

I doubt the Thunderbolt extended battery is any better than the Incredible's extended battery life...Of course, everyone uses their phone differently, so who knows.
[Droid Incredible General] McDizzle:
+ 1 will wait till upgrade next Jan. surely something delicious will be out by then! :D
[Droid Incredible General] KB3MMX:
I was Out as soon as I found out the TB wasn't getting a next gen OLED type screen.

I refuse to get any LCD variant, their screens look terrible to me (!!!)...way too washed out on dark colors, terrible contrast ratios and the color vibrancy I'm used to just isn't there.

The other issue was the battery life or lack thereof on the TB.. with my 3500 Seido on the Incredible, this thing is a BEAST of a Workhorse !!
[Droid Incredible General] ryryrocco:
i think i will keep my incredible a little while longer. want to see how the official gingerbread/sense works. then i will decide.
[Droid Incredible General] ph0tios:
Thanks!

Thanks for the post. My new every two just came up, and now I think I will wait. My Inc is still pretty beast for my needs anyway.
[Droid Incredible General] Chuck-D:
yeah I was looking forward to the new T-bolt. but when I looked at the specs and seen it was basicly a 4g 4.3" Dinc that looks like the EVO I couldent see paying for one esp after rooting and getting the re-engineered ROM.
[Droid Incredible General] al2x:

[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dwhsix:
I've started getting random back button presses on my phone. It *seems* to be mostly in Gmail and Newsrob, but that may also be because those are the two apps I'm in the most.

I'm hoping this isn't an indication of a hardware problem...

I'm running a 2.2 ROM, but I confess I don't recall exact which one I used. Build # is SCH-I500.DL30 (kernel 2.6.32.9).

It seems like it's much more common in the last few days, but it goes away (for a while at least) if I reboot. This morning however, I rebooted and it went into Safe Mode... I rebooted again and it was fine.

I'll also often get a couple of vibrates after this happens, which I think means something has crashed in the background... maybe? I don't think I've installed anything drastic in the last few days, but maybe I need to start uninstalling things to see if it helps.

I understand you.that was me last year. Google needs to invent "Google Checkout Points," redeemable in the market.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] drmacinyasha:
Odds are your problem is caused by you downloading those apps, since that's the number one way people get trojans on their phones.

Look, you paid at least $250 for your phone, and at least $70/month for service. I think you can afford a $0.99 app.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] siege121677:
It was stated a few posts up that the person doesn't have a credit card. I agree that it would be nice for Google to enable buying apps by having them charged to your phone bill. Not everyone has access to a credit/debit card.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] plainjane:
Just a note: you can use visa gift cards on the market with Google Checkout - I have. You have to register the card with the website so the name & address will be registered to the card, just like a debit card. The website is in the info that comes with the card. If you really wanted to buy an app, you could.

Every paid app should have a license check, in my opinion.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] snowboarda42:
Open a free checking account and get a debit card? Pay for your apps please, it keeps android moving forward. I used to do the same thing as the OP, until I felt convicted by God not to so I deleted everything I had acquired and bought it all.

my dad paid for the phone and the bill

its not that i cant afford the 99 cent app

he just wont let me buy it with his credit card
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Khilbron:
As others mentioned, go to walmart and buy a prepaid credit card. Load it with like $25, and attach it to your google account. You can use it to buy apps. Alot of apps are going to be installable as they start using googles market verification to make sure you purchased it.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NewZJ:
no, apps won't void your warranty, there is no way for sprint to check quickly and they wouldn't take the time to either, if the apps are to blame then sprint well say it was an app after they reset your phone to stock. then start over installing them and do it slowly so you can catch the one that gave you problems.

if your just worried that they are checking over the wireless and not in store then have no fear, they don't check for that
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sitlet:
Yes, again, that doesnt matter. Get a prepaid credit card from walmart, or grow some balls and get your own bank account. STOP stealing apps for free, the dev's work very hard on these apps, and deserve to get paid for their work. Your excuse is just that, an excuse, because you are too lazy to tell your dad to screw off and get your own credit card, or pay for your OWN bill for pete's sake...

I surprised no one has stated the obvious lol. 99% of these apps have a free or 'light' counterpart; most of which usually are fully functional with ads.

Most kids(dkdude36 excluded for obvious reasons lol) don't NEED and ad free app, you saw free and went for it. Is what it is.

I will +1000 on the Google market needed to up their accessibility with pre-paid cards. I gave my 10yr old my Vibrant when I moved over to sprint and I wouldn't give her my account either. She's pretty smart but she would still buy random stuff not realizing it adds up. She is pretty happy about all her free apps though.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thegregbradley:
If you're under 18, kinda hard to open a bank account. But immensely simple to get a prepaid Visa or American Express gift card, next time you're at the mall or walmart (and if you're under 18, this will certainly be sooner rather than later :D), just get one of those and exercise your freedom from your parents :)
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] budroux:

[HTC Aria General] eurasianboy1112:
Hey Everyone,

I'm having a bit of a problem with my Aria. I recently bought it online and immediately proceeded to put GenePoole's Liberated Aria 2.2.2 rom on it. However, one thing that Ive noticed is that the in call volume is ridiculously low and I cant hang up phone calls. Whenever I move the phone away from my face, the screen continues to remain black and I cant end a call. Is this a software problem or is this a hardware problem. Is there anything I can do to remedy this?

Thanks!
[HTC Aria General] tpbklake:
You are the second person this week that has the issue of not being able to hang up phone calls because the screen doesn't come back on. In the first case, the user flashed the official AT&T Froyo 2.2 update. You have experienced it with Liberated Aria 2.2.2, which is based on the AT&T Froyo 2.2 update, so the common link here is Froyo 2.2.2 and HTC Sense, so it may well be a software issue. In your case, you can reboot into ClockworkMod recovery and do a wipe data/system reset and try flashing another ROM to rule out that the proximity sensor has an issue.

In the previous poster's case, he didn't have that option.
[HTC Aria General] Perseids:
Same issue FR008

I am experiencing the same issue, and am running Liberated FR008. It seems that if I an outside or in a brightly lit environment that it works pretty much as it should. I have even shined a flashlight on the location where I believe the proximity sensor its located and remove the light and the screen "appears" and I can terminate the call.

mine began doing this after I got the phone back from having it repaired through Best Buy.

Good news/Bad news

BB will soon have the 'rapid exchange' program going for AT&T phones. This means I should only be without my Aria for 3-5 days. The bad news is that they do not attempt to repair but mererly send you a new/refurbed phone.

And I know with all my heart that I will receive a phone with the 'official' 2.2 update! :( I'm gonna lose my root!!! I'm already having withdraw symptoms.
