Yea, looks like the launch is around the corner. Also, it'll probably launch without the Skype Video Calling. Which also indicates a launch before 27th/28th, which is apparently when Skype Video will be ready for prime time.

The 24th is looking better and better.

What's the difference

I am a bit nervous about the screen. Holding an EVO next to an incredible the difference is VERY noticable.

It's a solid, nice phone, kind of like the DX.

Really, aside from having LTE and a little more ram (that appears to be chalk-full of bloatware), this phone is not an upgrade from the DX. This phone absolutely is not worth $750, but then neither is the IP4.

I'm definitely going to wait at least until the retail price drops (if ever - another scam, how is it the DX and DInc retail prices have not dropped?). Not sure I can hold out for the Bionic, but worst case scenario when a few more phones come out these will start popping up a bit cheaper on EBAY and the like.

How so? Aren't the screens the same resolution? And 1400mAh battery? I'm sure people have already ripped that.

Aside from LTE and a marginally (very marginal) better processor, well and I suppose front facing camera that I don't care about, this is 6-month old tech. They do upgrade you to a 32gig SD, but $750?!?

Oh, my bad i thought it was taken down completely. I was also wondering the same thing. I couldn't see the difference.

They removed the description for Skype on the new page, meaning it will probably be released without it. The old page talked about having skype.

...interesting.

Ok thanks, I noticed that but didn't really think anything of it.

Yup, i could care less about skype at release, just want the phone!!! went into verizon today as my girl was upgrading.... the rep said he has been reading all of the forums and BGR and what not. They havent received any accessories for T-bolt yet, but he seems pretty confident it will be released on 24th. He's just as obsessed as we are!

This, seriously. If it can be patched later on I could care less.
