Someone asked about swype way back, I don't think it'll come preloaded, but I will put swype on mine, I signed up for the beta way back in December, I dunno if you can sign up and download the beta now, but probably not sadly.... I have the .apk for swype installer, should work on any Android phone, but I have no way of sharing it with the world, maybe Google it, someone else is bound to have it.
14th guys, I dunno what you're arguing about...... Although BestBuy will definitely have the tb on Monday, vzw stores might not. But why buy from a Verizon store, as stated earlier bestbuy has the buyback program free right now, and of you are using a two year or buying at full price without a new every two discount, bestbuy is the place to get it.

I thought someone said the TB comes withs swype installed already. I could be wrong though..
I pre-ordered mine at best buy today and the manager insisted that she was getting them on the 14th. I told that there were some articles online that said otherwise. She wasn't having it, not that it means anything coming from her, just my experience. They do honor your NE2 upgrade and they can even get verizon to move your NE2 up 7 days early if you like. I can't get the phone til the 21st of the month so I'm hoping it comes out like the 20th.
Word on the street is it's faster than that dual-core Motocrap Droid Bionic....
We don't know about battery since it hasn't come out yet.
Haha yeah the TB is gonna be everywhere, thing is I'll probably be the only person to get it in my city, since we don't even have LTE and probably won't get it for a year or so.
eh, as much as i would like the above to be true lets not forget the bionic on display at CES was only using 1 core of 2.. to me that may be that comparing core to core the thunderbolt is better but 2 is always better than one.. i just dont care to wait for a dual core with less ram than a single core and coming from OG Droid helps to.. lol
Eh, Know much about computers? Dual cores only have the advantage if the programs can run multi-threaded. If not then a single core with a higher clock speed will have the advantage.

No sarcasm here, but are you saying with both cores activated the bionic wont run faster/smoother than we saw (maybe not you) at the CES event?
keep in mind most people dont get a high end phones to just take pictures and txt message so im not sure i get your point.
Which phone is clocked higher than the other i thought they were both 1.0 ghz? i was pointing out that the TB is still faster imo but you cant tell me when you are multi-tasking its going to stay as smooth as the bionic.. or is that exactly what you are trying to tell me?
clarify for me what you consider an advantage, i dont think the fastest processor has the best advantage i think the smoothest most battery conservative has the best advantage imo..
if i had the choice of something that ran 2x speed but half the battery i would choose the alternative as long as any apps i go through remain smooth and dont bog the phone up.
Whoa whoa whoa, you hope its coming out the 14th......
