Verizon Offering the HTC Thunderbolt for Free on Contract Through January 26th

[dgstorm]

It was only just about a year ago that the most exciting new phone that everyone was talking about was the HTC Thunderbolt. It's amazing how much things can change in a year. Verizon is now selling the venerable ex-flagship smartphone at the big fat price of zero dollars on a new contract now. This special will only last through January 26th, so for some folks this could be a good deal on a once very popular phone. There are still a ton of people out their rockin' the Tbolt. In fact, I have several friends who still use and love theirs. Here is a link below, in case you know someone who could take advantage of this offer.

Unless they are paying you to take the phone don't touch it, I'm so sick of a phone that dies every 4-6 hours.

If you are that tired of it, I would have to make the assumption of either you can't fix it or you choose to not carry it back and get a replacement t since it obviously defective...

No way I would go more than 2 days with a device whose battery only lasted 6 hours...but that's just me...

I have a non rooted tbolt with stock battery and go from 7am to 11pm everyday and still have around 20% left with 4G on at all times and as far as my usage I use an average of 3gb a month.

I have the Verizon extended battery and can easily get 2 full days of moderate use out of, I can't seem to drain the battery in a day if I try - even having it as a mobile hotspot on battery power for 6 hours.

Congrats to you guys, but that's just misleading info for anyone out there, you are the exception not the rule, in fact that's more an error than anything, people out there know better, go check any benchmarking site.

Stock, yes. If you root and install a custom ROM and kernel it's a lot better.

How many people getting this phone do you think will root their phone?
