dont ask the mods to lock this thread u selfish jackass if you dont want to see that kind of stuff stop coming back.. so retarded when people ask to have the thread locked.. some people dont let the idiots get to them you big p*ssy... ill happily read through the bs to get to the important info..

god your lucky your not within smacking distance of me cause id give you a good ole knock on your dome for being so stupid..

Its got lesser specs than the LG Optimus 2x, the Atrix, the Bionic...
Its taking a step down from the DX, other than the 4g.

HDMI port & slightly higer resolution in the X makes the TBolt a step down? Let me intoduce you to my friend, his name is reality.

How am I wrong?
Usually if you have LESS features, it is a step down...

And don't say "phones on the horizon are always better" either. The Atrix is releasing what March 4th? That's not "on the horizon", for all we know it could come out BEFORE the TB.

Last time i checked there isnt a superior phone to all else.. every phone has perks another doesnt but that doesnt mean the other phone isnt overall better.. i agree with everyone so far and what you said is quite retarded and looks like you just want a reaction out of people.

haha man I think its so funny when people beg mods to close a thread. If it bothers your childish mind that much, then leave. Your lucky you I'm not behind Viper because I'd follow through with another good ole knock on your dome.

So you could buy the iPhone now then return it when the tbolt comes out if less than 14 days although I believe California return policy is 30 days by law

"Usually if you have LESS features, it is a step down..." If that's your argument you would have to weight every single feature individually and see which phone scores better. Most people would not put the X and TBolt side by side and think the TBolt is a downgrade by any means.

The Atrix is interesting but if everything I'll read about it is true I don't really see how it's a lot better. The dock feature is kinda poorly implemented IMO (not to mention expensive). If the rumor that 512mb of the ram is only for the dock then it actually has less ram than the TBolt.

Right now dual-core means nothing but bragging rights. As multi-threaded games start coming out and Honeycomb start popping up on phones (how long till we see HC on the Atrix/Bionic? Bet it won't till till end of the year at best) that could change, but for right now it's not really gaining you much (if anything).

The higher resolution screen in the Atrix/Bionic is actually nice, but not nice enough to sway me away for an aluminum unibody HTC.

I've heard the new version of Blur is much improved, but I've used Sense for years and I like it.

You say the TBolt doesn't stack up, I say it does. You're welcome to your opinion, but I'm also welcome to mine. I hope whatever you upgrade to is all that and a bowl of grits, but I'm sure I'll be more than happy with the TBolt.

Well I can agree with that last part.
I have just had bad experiences with HTC, from the G1 to the Incredible, so maybe that gives me a bias against them. I'm happy with my iP4, and the TB offers me personally nothing that my D1/iP4 combo cannot do. Especially since I won't even have 4g here in Fayettenam until later this year. (Droid C3po or iPhone 5 LTE for me most likely)

They're making a c3po? That could be cool, at least a Star Wars geek...I'm not getting anything for a long time after the TB though.

I will also be a little bored after we know everything about it. This has been something for me to look forward to, and I haven't had that much to look forward to since football season ended!

I'm totally guessing on the Droid c3po, but if the "Droid" licensing stays, I don't see why they wouldn't market with the Lucas tie-in. Then again the R2D2 didn't quite sell like was expected.

Now, to all the people questioning me on saying "outside of 4g this is a step down from the DX". Tell me how I'm wrong?

The DX has the same clock speed, more battery life, a bigger screen, higher resolution, and an HDMI out.

The TB has 4g.

Seidio is taking pre-orders for cases and screen protectors the the TB. They haven't posted a ship date for the extended battery yet. They are going to ship the cases and screen preotectors on the 18th. Sorry if this has been mentioned. I didn't feel like going through all of the pages.

protectors* (no edit button lol)

Ugggh no edit!

If I had 4g in my area, the speed of it would outweigh the TBs shortcoming

I lost my edit button yeterday

2nd generation CPU, what's said to be a better camera, front facing camera, while lower res it is said to have better more vivid colors then the DX screen, Sense 2.0 vs Blur, Locked bootloader vs very open BL that has already been rooted, what seems to be an overall smoother experience .... and 4g (LTE)

Good call on the Droid c3po

What speed? Go to Engadget and read their Atrix review. Thing averaged about half the speed of the iphone 4 they tested at the same location on the same network. Not to mention all the bloatware the thing was sporting.

They were impressed with the phone hardware, but pretty much said the dock was a waste of money.

Sorry, the Atrix is not the end-all be-all. The TBolt won't be either. It's just the nature of the beast when it comes to smartphones, nothing is perfect and something better is always around the corner.
