I am waiting for the Droid Bionic to come out in April... will be a very fast very nice phone.

I was going to wait for the bionic but I saw that its going to have motoblur on it and I'm not a huge fan of that stuff. My droid with no extra interface was really nice but given the choice between sense and blur I like sense better. It does look like a solid phone though, we will see how the duo core does as it specs out at the same ghz as the thunderbolt. The other thing that got me was that the thunderbolt has more Ram than the bionic did (at least on paper) so I think in most situations its actually faster? Who knows though. I have always had great luck with Motorola stuff lasting longer than the others.

Anyway, I did get around a little bit this week and found that 4g works at my work in Wayzata, at home in Brooklyn Center, and surprisingly out in Blaine, Maple Plain and Waconia. So as far as coverage goes it has been pretty good since its advertised as being Minneapolis. We will see how it does out of town but I am happy with what it has done so far.

If you don't like Motoblur I would think you could flash with a custom sense ROM.

I just rooted my EVO for the first time and now experimenting with different ROMs. I'm sticking with Sense ROMS though.

Yeah I think I will give this phone 6 months and see about rooting it. I am supposed to be getting 2.3 pretty quick :rolling eyes: so we will see what changes with that. It would be nice to get rid of the bloatware since I don't use any of the facetube and Twitter stuff, but I will get on top of that if 2.3 isn't what its cracked up to be.

The only two things I can say I am not happy with so far is the virtual keyboard compared to the virtual keyboard on my droid 1.0 and the fact that I can't figure out how to keep my phone awake while its plugged in to a power source. But the speed and screen make up for it. I am still stunned by how much 4g coverage there is around here too.

Motoblur is satisfactory at the least. The one thing you can do for the keyboard is search the app market. there probably is lots of replacement virtual keyboards and programs for those phones.

Beware when you download keyboard apps is you are downloading software you are not very familiar with. It can be the app sends information at any keystroke to somebody out there.

There's a warning about this when you change your Android keyboard.

good info, you should also see what the app you download needs access to. it should not need your "network" connection.
