    Full review of Thrive

    Update July 13th: The device rarely wakes out of sleep mode and is going back until the issue is fixed. When I did this review, I had NOT yet done the firmware update. Since the update (not sure if that is the reason), almost EVERY time, I have to power the device down to get out of sleep mode...

    Junk under the screen, headed back to return

    After the long wait, I'm really disappointed to find a chunk of something metallic right in the center of the screen. I have no idea how someone assembling this screen could have missed this. It almost looks like a flake of chrome from the camera housing. I say that because it's shiny...

    Working SD slot?

    Does anyone have a Thrive with a working SD slot? Mine's not working, but I suspect my SD card -- but before I go out and buy a new card, I just wanted to make sure that other people have been able to get the slot to work. Thanks!

    View web pages locally?

    'd like to view a website from local storage, using the Browser (not the HTML Viewer), is that possible? I transferred the site to a USB flash drive and plugged it in, thinking I could access it something like this: file:///usb/index.html But if that's possible, I couldn't figure out the...

    My Hand On Thrive VS Galaxy 10.1 (July 10, 2011)

    Hi all, I am a first time poster to the forums. I am a tablet geek now after having both the IPAD and IPAD 2. I than went to the Samsung Galaxy which I still have under BB's 15 day return policy. I picked up the Toshiba Thrive this morning (July 10) my initial comparisons were sticking. My...

    Nice Thrive user video review

    Nice user perspective review :) Though the display is not IPS, the pixel coverage and viewing angles seem like IPS. YouTube - ‪Toshiba Thrive Review‬‏

    Help Power on prob

    Love the new tablet, however, when I press the power button to just turn the screen off and leave it for a while, its like it goes into hibernation or something. When I press the power button to turn the screen on it won't. I have to REBOOT it to get it going again. Whats the deal?!

    Compatible with Bluetooth receiver?

    Hi everyone- I'm fairly computer literate but know nothing when it comes to how and why things are compatible or the basis of their operations. I've never owned an iPod or an iPhone/smart phone, only PC and a PDA. I'm looking to purchase a Toshiba Thrive in hopes that it can connect via USB/...

    Mini review of Thrive

    Thanks to Best Buy for letting me spend an hour with a 32gb version of the Thrive today :) Though BB would not let me buy one, they were kind enough to open one and allow me to test it (they are going to use it for their demo anyway). Display Not sure what people are dinging (perhaps not...

    Battery life question and possible display point

    1. How is the battery life so far? I am concerned it will not last that long, due to the battery size. Nice it can be replaced, but that is $100 a pop. A500 lasts about 9 hours and the Transformer about 10 hours (Kind of worthless saying this, since depends on usage and settings). 2. The...

    First published Thrive review linked here

    The 1660 Quadrant score is waaaay low for a Tegra 2. If vanilla 3.1, it should be at least in the 2400 range. I wonder if Toshiba put cheap memory in it? Silly speculation, but the chipset & OS should be fairly consistent with other tablets. My lowly gTablet with Froyo gets 2400...

    Help What is the max SD card supported?

    People are assuming 64GB SD cards will be supported, but has there been any confirmation of this, besides people assuming it? If it does support 64gb SD, seems silly to buy anything beyond the 8gb, since cheaper cost-wise to get a 64gb card and treat it as space..... Thoughts?

    My local best buy sold me a 16GB Toshiba Thrive this evening. It's in my hands. Have any questions about it?

    Display quality?

    I have seen reports where the display seems washed out and a little soft in definition. Hoping this opinion is a fluke. Need the USB host option, so the only two options ATM are the A500 and soon the Thrive. Screen on and weka wifi were an issue on the A500, so hope the Toshiba does not have...

    Accessories at Best Buy

    Was in BB yesterday and they had OEM accessories for the Thrive but obviously no tablet. Never seen accessories released and in stock before the item itself.

    Toshiba Thrive. Who is on the pre-order list? And some valuable information.

    I was talking to someone on Toshiba's web site thru there online help. I was asking about a bundle package with accessories and was told to wait a few days and something should be up. So that could save a few pennies. I for one have been waiting for this tablet, is anyone else planning on...

    Help Gorilla Glass: Yes or No?

    Couldn't find anything concrete online, so I gave up and called into Toshiba's "Sales Support" line. The lady put me on hold and told me that yes, the Thrive would have Gorilla Glass and they would go and update publications. Not really sure if I trust that or not though. Seeing the stuff...

    New video shows & talks about some features

    Toshiba Thrive Android Tablet Demo (Video) shows the ports, the huge replaceable battery, a "quick charge" function.. but did not mention the capacitive touch pen option that the Office depot page says is coming as an optional accessory - like the HTC Flyer? The different colored backs are $19.99

    No posts yet- tablet fatigue?

    The A500 and Transformer are solid tabs and now another higher end tab (Thrive) is releasing next month. This tablet may be the best of both worlds between the A500 and Transformer, but no apparent interest yet. Besides a battery that can be removed, the USB host is located out of hands way...
