I wanna come back..

[lazarus2297]

ok so the day the Thunderbolt launched i got b/c I really wanted 4G and couldn't resist getting something new although i really wanted the moto 4G phone i got the TB to hopefully insure my unlimited data stays unlimited... long story shortened.. My wife had an LG ally (piece of trash) and although she didn't care everytime I had to use that slow phone I thought about getting her something else.. So i found a pretty good deal on a Droid 2... it showed up today so I rooted it, installed the Gingerbread version, and installed Netflix... all i have to say is I really miss Motorola... Come on Moto get me a 4G phone!! please so I can get rid of this Thunderbolt!

What's so bad about your current setup?

I don't really like the thunderbolt and setting up and playing with the D2 I got for my wife makes me want a motorola phone even worse now... I had a OG, a D2 and a DX before the thunderbolt so i don't really wanna get one of those over again for myself and the DX2 although "new" wouldn't really give me that New phone feeling. I am just waiting, waiting... for the moto 4G phone

As I always say, it's not a Droid unless it says Motorola.

I don't know about that... htc makes some pretty nice phones man. I will stick with my D2G until I can get something like the atrix (lap docking) for Verizon.

The only thing keeping me away from the TB is the battery life. Mines already bad enough on the D2G and i heard thunderbolts is worse.

Very true.

If you were to just base your opinion about the Thunderbolt on what you read in Forums, you would think my God what a piece of garbage. And initially, that was my thinking too.

Practice what you preach.

I have said many times in this Forum that the vast majority of what you read about anything, be it an update, or a new phone is going to be negative. People love to complain, it's just the way it is.

You send two people out to a restaurant. If they enjoy it, they will tell 2 other people. If they don't like it they will tell 20 other people. Internet and Forums are no different, probably worst.

I still think that a real "Droid" has to be Motorola. It's' kind of like saying a Mustang can't be made by Chevy, would you believe it's a Mustang? Thunderbolt is an Android phone and that doesn't make it worst then a Droid, I just think the name should stay with the original brand. Unfortunately Verizon disagrees with me about this. So HTC can be labeled a Droid, or just an Android phone it doesn't matter. It's just how I think, that's all.

^Truth.
I had read over & over again how HTC sets had bad battery life especially the Incredible. Turns out it's much better then my D1 ever was.

When I think Droid I think Motorola but I'm not sure what Verizon is aiming for with that brand. I thought it was supposed to mean high-end but after the D2/2G & DroidPro I'm not so sure.

Maybe investigate an extended battery for the Thunderbolt? I upgraded my D2 with an extended battery, and now it lasts forever (24+ hours, with heavy use).

Im not so sure the DROID branding was necessarily meant to only be intended for high end phones...look at the DROID eris for example. It was the second DROID released and I don't believe it was ever intended to be a high end device.
