Well, I upgraded to a TBolt from a Fascinate and I have to say, it beats the Fascinate in almost every way. Sense is 20 times better than touchwiz. The TBolt does 1700 quadrant out of the box. The battery usage is better than that on the fascinate. It's just smoother all the way around. plus you get 4g plan now, it's unlimited for $30 and you get grandfathered in. And a word on dual core. The TBolt has been shown in tests to be as fast or faster than the droid bionic so that's that. Plus HTC supports their product. I am very very happy I upgraded.
[Fascinate General] gotsflat4love:
My buddy just got one, and I'm jumpin ship once I have my upgrade. Battery isn't an issue for me. Plus, I am tired of Samsung and want to get rid of it asap. Think how sweet that thing will be once Cyanogen Mod is running on it.

The phone is nice. Plain and simple. Dual Core seems cool, but i'll wait another year before i jump ship. I think HTC makes a nice phone. They always have and will.

Hey Samsung... I hate your cell products and will never buy one again. EVER!

Hey Devs... Thank you for your hard work and all the love you have shown us.
[Fascinate General] eleazar123:
I'm considering the Tbolt. I'm about 10-15 miles away from 4G right now, so it's really tempting. I'm hoping vzw will flip the switch around here soon.

I wouldn't even be thinking about the Thunderbolt if the Bionic was made by HTC or LG. As it stands, I will not support Motorola as long as they continue to lockdown their bootloaders, and unfortunately, the LG Revolution isn't dual core.

I'm tempted to pick up the Thunderbolt used on craigslist and then truly upgrade to the first dual core, 4g phone that isn't made by Motorola (would be nice if it's a Google Experience phone too).

I got my Fascinate one week after launch, 99% new for $350 (including a case and screen protectors!), so maybe I can get that lucky with the Thunderbolt. :)
[Fascinate General] daavy:
thanks

thanks everyone for your thoughtful replies... i went ahead and ordered one.. guess i'll see. ill use my 15 days to decide... though i normally figure it out within about 2... ill post my results.
[Fascinate General] Tkun:
I recommended the Thunderbolt to my sister as her first Android phone, hope the battery life isn't too bad for what she uses her phone for.

I might see if I can get one since my Fascinate's earspeaker has been very staticy recently, or I'll wait until a non-Motorola dual-core phone comes to Verizon, then see if I can make the switch. ;)
[Fascinate General] ataranine:
Soon as I get paid, this Fascinate is going in the garbage and I'm getting a Tbolt too. I don't care, I'll pay the entire $600 for it. I've always liked the Evo and, being on Verizon, couldn't get one.

I still, to this day, miss my HTC Droid Eris.

I'm sick of Samsung. HTC is the way to go.
[Fascinate General] Kaze105:
Ill get any 4G verizon phone when 4G is more widespread. I travel a lot so if im getting a 4G phone, I want 4G speeds anywhere I go.

Glad that 4G will cover 2/3 of us population by the time I get my next upgrade. (October 2012)
[Fascinate General] DeezNotes:
I kinda feel the same way.
[Fascinate General] madcow706:
Those that got the Thunderbolt, how is the SVDO? That is one of the main reasons I may get one, other then the sheer lack of software support from Samsung. I am done with Samsung.
[Fascinate General] jiggaman508:
I bought a tb two days ago, and from the time I've had with it all I can say to a fellow fascinate user is definitely buy the tb. The best way I can describe this phone is....it just works...everything I ever wanted my fassy to do, this phone does, and it does it fast, and without being rooted and Rom'd....admittedly, the screen isn't as vibrant, but overall this is a great phone. I've had two motorolas one Sammy and now I'm wondering why I haven't been buying HTC the whole time...everyone waiting for dual core should probably wait another year before its really worth it...plus I can't wait to have this thing overclocked to 1.6 or 1.8. Bottom line....make the switch....sorry for the rant.

Ps. Thank you fascinate devs for all the amazing work you have done :)
[Fascinate General] DeezNotes:
HTC makes great phones. Samsung could learn a thing or two from them. They also support the software which is another plus.

A few things that would stop me from buying are things like the CPU and the screen. Those two would be a step down or maybe a lateral move. Plus the charger port being on the bottom when using the kickstand.. they should have thought that one thru a bit more. That could save us $$ on a dock but no.

I only like to buy new phones when there's a significant processor or some other hardware upgrade. I'll most likely go HTC next time especially if their screens can be on par with SAMOLED, but I think I'm gonna wait.
[Fascinate General] ilogik:
I drove using google maps and talking on my BT headset without any issues, it even transitioned from LTE to 3g without dropping my call.

I also have the fascinate, I dont regret getting the TB at all. Faster, better build, love sense (why does everyone hate it?) no more plastic toy feel, and better battery life.

Also my quadrant score is at 1890, much better the fascinated with lag fix and this is on a stock rom, and not that much lower then my xoom with dual core.

What's the hype about dualcore anyway, not like there are apps that require that much processing power anyway.

I've just started the first level of angry birds seasons to compare the colors between the devices, they look exactly the same with the exception of the Thunderbolt screen being sharper. You do not see the pixels like you do on the fascinate.
[Fascinate General] gr8icu:
I think Thunderbolt is a great phone (I love Sense UI) however, I just don't see myself buying a man-purse just to carry that huge sucker around. I think its big and heavy enough to pull your pants down. My friend has an Evo and with a case on it, its as thick as a Bible.
[Fascinate General] hesh.monster:
I wouldn't count on being grandfathered in to anything. It would be naive to think they won't charge anyone more for 4g just because they signed up early. Once the tiered plans hit market they will force an upgrade on data by placing everyone that is"grandfathered" in the lowest tier. Just my thoughts of course, but I like to think realistically.

[Fascinate General] m91-30:
just curious, where does it say this is a dual core phone? nothing I have found says it's dual core. plus, 4g right now is very limited in it's coverage, and will be until at least next year (though, funnily enough, it will surpass AT&T's 3g map soon).

before any of you throw out your fascinates, give me a PM, if you are literally going to throw it out, I'll at least pay you SOMETHING for it. I love my fascinate, and can always use a second one to mess with instead of destroying mine.
[Fascinate General] eleazar123:
I can't find anywhere in this thread that someone referenced the thunderbolt being dual core.

I know we were all hoping it would be, though. :(
[Fascinate General] ziggy484:
What exactly is so much better about it? 4G, yeah thats great if you get a signal... but tge fascinate hardware is definitely better

[Fascinate General] m91-30:
I thought I saw it in a couple posts, I could be wrong, though. dual core will need integrated OS support, and I agree with some on here in that it will be worth waiting a year or two before jumping to a dual core phone, once the OS and processor are more in tune with each other. just look at the 4 core processors now, very little uses 4 cores, and they were almost useless until intel changed their architecture to better split tasks between cores and added support to windows to do this better.
[Fascinate General] agsded:
I just looked at a tbolt at the Verizon store ... afaict, its bout as fast as superclean 2.9.1 as far as how it feels to use.....has sense, which if you like it is cool, if not, meh .... is about the same physical size in your hand, but has a smidge more screen real estate, and a 1.3mp front camera.... kinda Gunmetal steel colored plastic....the housing I mean... its about as thick naked as my fascinate wearing a tpu case.

Screen is bright and clear, at least it is inside the store, but not even close to the depth or richness of a fascinate on full brightness...
[Fascinate General] PJnc284:
Yeah, I picked one up yesterday so I've had about a day to play with it. It feels like a brick compared to the Fascinate and the screen is no competition but it's a great phone out of the box. Everything is super speedy and I haven't had any significant battery issues. Just waiting for root instructions for the new firmware so I can restore my angry birds backups. lol
[Fascinate General] bmeek:
yep. physical form has always been a big factor for me. The fascinate with no case makes a good pocket phone. If only samsung could get their support act together...

No doubt I read of htc "just works" longingly. Used to use the early htc windows mobile phones (GSM) and they were very reliable.

Also glad to see reports of the tb handling 4g - 3g transitions gracefully. I got the new LTE Pantech usb modem from vzw and it's near useless without a 4g signal.
[Fascinate General] madcow706:
Where did you guys purchase your phone's from? I see its 599 at verizon, but 749 at best buy? WTF?
[Fascinate General] Kaze105:
Not much of a surprise. Sellers have it at different price. Although it was an upgrade, I got my fascinate for 1 cent at best buy compared to $199 at verizon. (walmart in my area sell the phones at lowest price without contract)
[Fascinate General] cpark_12:

[Fascinate General] lkhafra:
I got my wife a Droid X and I used the Evo before. Both phones never felt to big and i have slightly smaller than average hands. I use the Droid X one handed alot when the wife lets me use it. How small are some of these peoples hands? I cant wait for my TB to get here on monday. I wont be going back to Samsung untill they get the software side of things on track. Ive had too many products from samsung not just phones that left me wanting more. If only Moto would stop locking things down I would go back but of well its HTC for me :)

[Fascinate General] azturbomini:
I jumped ship and after two full days with it I'm convinced its a great phone. Day one was tough. I missed the Fascinates display and had to relearn sense. Day two, this phone flies. It never stutters, locks up or freezing of any kind. Typing input seems much better. My call reception is better. I live just outside of 4g but have better 3g signal and data speeds along with better wifi signal and speed. I was on the fence after day one but not now. Donated my Fascinate to my son to replace his Eris. Were both happy!
[Fascinate General] phatspirit2:
I'll tell everyone, just go to the store and play with one. The specs don't look amazing but damn does this phone fly. Passed fascinated phone to wife and I'm so happy for my new toy. Like everyone said, its just a better phone all around than the fascinate.

i am trying to make a deal with a guy on craigslist now for a thunderbolt but he wants to take forever to respond to emails
[Fascinate General] xjestersdeadx:
That's not a fair request. On a forum like this, that's the guy at the Porsche dealer, KNOWING that he has a car lover in front of him, trying to tell you "just drive it, you don't have to buy it". :D
[Fascinate General] phooky:
played with the tb today, its a great phone and i am so close to getting it, except for one thing... the weight.

i often keep my fascinate in my shirt breast pocket during the day, and the thunderbolt is just too heavy and clunky for my use. seems like i'll be waiting for dual core!
[Fascinate General] Thrillhouse847:
I certainly wouldn't call it "clunky" (it's nice and rounded all around with a flush front and back, pretty much exactly like the Fascinate only the back sticks out a bit more) but it's definitely heavier. Now the original Droid is what I'd consider a clunky phone.

Speed wise it kills the Fascinate, no matter what rom it's running (except maybe Kaoscinate), and that's just with stock sense, just wait until CM7 is released.

The battery, for me at least, is very comparable to the Fascinate, maybe slightly worse. But it can only improve with the development of custom roms. Also, I would say by most people's standards I am a light to moderate phone user, but I was on the Fascinate too and the battery drain is still not too different so far.

Just my two-cents.
[Fascinate General] youneek:
several fascinate developers have already switched. I think its much better so far. Battery is about the same for me. My TB is rooted with stock rom. Fascinate had sc 2.9 but cm7 will make the TB WAY better.
[Fascinate General] ogdroid:
I think the TB is a great phone and all, but im going to wait for the sgs 2 to come out. Hardware and screen quality are to good for me to leave samsung.(even though there terrible with updates!!)
[Fascinate General] Zeromus2003:
I feel the same way....even if Samsung sucks with updates, the SGS 2 will blow away the Thunder Brick! SAMOLED Plus is amazing! For me, the display is the most important. I've seen the tbolt and it doesn't really offer anything new except 4g and 8MP cam....and slightly faster. SGS2 ftw!
[Fascinate General] beveritt:
I've had two Thunderbolts and they've both had pretty bad issues with the data network constantly switching from 4G, 3G, 1X and no data at all. It is completely random and happens in many locations around Denver. There are threads from many people in all the major Android forums' Thunderbolt sections describing the same thing. Nothing pisses me off more than a device you cannot rely on, and the TB randomly losing data service or being stuck in 1X when you're in the middle of a 4G saturated city is not acceptable. Despite its other flaws, my Fascinate would NEVER do things like that. I'm about to return the TB and go back to the Fascinate over the issue. Too bad, it's a good device, and would really rock if the data connection was stable.
[Fascinate General] modus81:
I'll never buy another samsung phone ever. Having great hardware with bad software is not my idea of a great phone. HTC makes superior phones that work out of the box.
[Fascinate General] xjestersdeadx:
Well I have to say that developers switching is not a factor in my phone selection. A LOT of geeks like to get the latest phone, and what am I going to do..."Oh, several devs left the TB for the Droid Bionic, I better switch..." on and on it goes. :D

Fascinate is a great phone, its only 6 months old, and for those of us without 4G in our area, its hard to beat.
[Fascinate General] xisintheend:
I have to say, I got a Evo 4g for work which is pretty much the same phone as Tbolt and it kills the Fascinate. I love the way it feels in my hands more, it feels smoother and faster, and it feels like a much better quality finish phone. I am ordering one for my dad this week who is looking to dive into his first smart phone, had him playing with both and he loved the HTC alot better.
[Fascinate General] pdb23103:
Fwiw, I came to the Fascinate from the Evo, and it is clear that they are both awesome phones. I preferred the thinner form factor of the Fascinate, but the Evo has a bigger screen. It would be my opinion that the differences between the Evo, Fascinate and Thunderbolt are not gigantic. In fact, I still prefer the Fascinate, and likely won't switch to the TB. Now, when the SF2 is available...
[Fascinate General] shanetrain:
My take on it is this:

Where I live, there is no LTE, but where I work, there is.

The only reason I am getting the TB, is because I want to keep my unlimited data plan.

I love my Fascinate, but the reason above is enough for me to upgrade.

FYI, I got a TB from the VZ website on a 1 year contract for 230.00. They wanted 200.00 for a 2 year. No brainer, for me.

I have a corportate discount through UPS, which may have had something to do with that, though.
[Fascinate General] xjestersdeadx:
Yeah, if you've got access to LTE on a regular basis and want to upgrade now, the tbolt is your only choice, and its not a bad phone...so I get what your saying.

So is this leaked ? Yes ! Has anyone actually done it?

I wrote something about it... on here

The ROM contain a final unbranded RTM build of “NoDo” ready to be flashed to devices. The latest leak is a HTC 7 Pro ROM for European devices. WPCentral sends news that Windows Phone enthusiasts at XDA-developers posted a ROM image the HTC 7 Pro on Wednesday. The ROM upgrades the device to the final version of “NoDo” ahead of Microsoft’s release. The site has also previously supplied ROMs for the HTC 7 Mozart, HTC HD7 and HTC 7 Trophy. All leaked ROMs are unbranded European versions, which do not include carrier customizations. Owners wishing to flash the leak updates will need to use a “Gold Card” method to bypass a “VENDER ID” error. Some users have reported success by flashing original carrier ROMs and then simply switching out the raw update file. The process is not ideal for the average user but those wishing to pursue unofficial methods can find the links above. Download link (this yet has not been tested)

Hi markomarkogame

Yes, I have done it. I have flashed the Orange UK 1.30 ROM to my Orange UK HTC 7 Mozart. It flashed without the need for anything complicated such as a gold card.

I haven't done much with the phone yet but it does seem slightly smoother in terms of the animations. Also it has copy and paste and differentiated marketplace search.
