got my TB this morning. it was partially charged and i've been using it off and on all day between charging sessions, so no feedback on battery life yet. now that i've got it mostly configured the way i want we'll see how battery life is on the stock battery after a full charge tonight. i've already ordered a slim extended battery, as i do with every phone i get, so i'll have a good baseline to compare.
a few things i've noticed so far... coming from the inc the size difference jumps out at you. goes for the screen too... the amoled screen on the inc has much better contrast (to be expected), but the TB seems to be sharper and have better all around color reproduction... in most tasks you can't really tell a difference in general speed between the two phones. the incredible was already very snappy, TB is too. where the difference become more noticeable is when doing things like editing a vid with vidtrim, TB blows through it faster than inc...i haven't checked 4g until i got home, but so far my speed tests aren't living up to 4g speeds. getting 2mb down max. granted i do live in an area that shows extended 4g coverage. will test it when i get out tomorrow and see how it goes...
need r00t desperately. the vzw bloat that stays in the background (cityid, tunewiki, vcast, etc) is killing me! you can't even uninstall slacker?! cheering for root to come soon.
no 4g/LTE toggle is slightly annoying. i'm on wifi most of the time so it's not that big of a deal (phone turns 4g data off when wifi established), but i would like to have control over when 4g is on like the EVO widget does.
i expect the TB will be the whipping boy for working out real world 4g issues in the benefit of future phones. i'm ok with that, we'll all benefit. that's it for now. great phone so far!
My fiance and two sons have EVOs. Once they rooted and debloated there was SIGNIFICANT battery improvement. My fiance is a text/talkaholic and she once made it 1 day 16hrs on a charge after rooting and debloating. I don't know if we'll see the same improvement, but I HAVE been hitting f5 on the root threads at XDA all day
The battery life on this is horrible. I hope it can be fixed

Remove the Auto-Brightness and slide it down to about 20%. That is how you will fix your battery.
It should not have a problem with normal games from the market, or some of the other older emulators (NES, Sega Genesis, SNES, N64).
fyi - PSOne is several years older than N64

But N64 has always been easier to emulate for some reason. Probably because of the difference between cartridge games and disk based games.
chomp sms has the option to change led color but it still didn't doesn't do it.however it does fix the auto spacing problemno way to change the led color that ive found yet
thats really disappointing to me. Did you try changing through handcent?
yep only option to bllnk or not
The Thunderbolt will not be the best phone available for gaming, but it will be no slouch either. There are several other phones available right now that can beat it in terms of gaming graphics and speed. .
