Not that hard tbh. Thunderbolt was the first android I've ever rooted, and it was pretty easy.


how did you root your phone?? i heard there wasnt a fast way to do it..

I upgraded my droid x to a thunderbolt... i love the front facing camera and the way if feels in my hand, its heavier but i like it. Also, I like the HTC widgets alot better too... Over all i like HTC better than motorola.. however, the droid x was so simple to root, a 5th grader could do it. Im waiting for a quick app to root the thunderbolt. I have a few minor issues with the HTC which appear to be because the phone is new and HTC has not worked out all the kinks yet, some times it gets me upset, but they will do a software update im sure. .... Overall im happy with the phone, but the battery life sux

Love it. Best phone I've had since the D1. The D2 and D2G didn't give me as much satisfaction as the TB.

I'll probably stick with HTC if they put out phones like this all the time.

Yea I think I'm going to go to HTC I think I can deal with HTC Sense but I'm not getting the Thunderbolt, I'm waiting for the EVO 3D. I've made up my mind, patience is a wonderful virtue lol.

Very happy with the ThunderBolt, the speed is like crack.
I mean really whats not to like.
Its a fast phone on a super fast network.
Feels comfortable in your hands, less likely to drop it.
Never thought I'd say this, but the kickstand IS awesome.
ThunderBolt supports Talk and Surf and it works on 3G as well as 4G :)

If it weren't for the abysmal battery life, I would like this phone. I miss my X

On Sprint?

Not to be offensive, but their network is awful. I was on my friend's EVO last night and their 4G speeds are about what Verizon's 3G speeds are. If its faster, it isn't by much. LTE blows Sprint away.

I mean, yeah... don't get me wrong, the EVO 3D is a completely awesome device, but get a TBolt on 1 year contract through Verizon and we should have their 3D device with better specs by the time its up, and in the meantime you're getting ridiculously good speeds on a great device.

i agree, their network is garbage. my coworker with evo was posting same network speeds on his 4g as my previous droid x on verizon's 3g.

The Tbolt is greatness. I am getting 8 hrs of moderate usage.
I will wait for the 2nd generation of 3D phones.
