Thunderbolt for $249? Unlikely if the Inspire 4g is $99.

it has a front facing camera. its verizon screwing their customers again

All carriers are evil...just pick the one with the best coverage in your area.
I just left AT&T and their iphone 4 (loved it) and had fully intended on trying to order the Verizon's iphone tomorrow night, but the Thunderbolt really has me thinking of waiting for it.

Seriously what's not to like? I especially love that it has a metal housing vs the plasticky Samsung that my wife currently has.

The real big difference is that that the number you are quoting is not RAM. I would be willing to bet that your computer does not have 8GB RAM (based purely on statistics...I know nothing about you). The number you are quoting is essentially on board flash memory. The TB has 768MB of RAM.

-Nkk

You're right. Both have the same amount of RAM, the TB has far more flash memory. I was in a hurry when I posted.... :eek:

I've yet to see a phone dual core or not eat through 512mb of RAM or even come close, the RAM would make little difference at this point but it's nice to have I guess.

The real bottleneck in most mobile devices is the mobile gpu followed by the cpu, then the read/write time of the SD (TH on board memory which is lightning fast) and finally the ram.
