This is great news if it took 70% of Batt. life over an 8hrs span... that's better than my Imagio..

Only downside to that is thats just with 3G, 4G will likely eat more battery
and I think the battery he mentions last as long as his Droid X does
not sure if it was moderate or standby usage though

I can say that with heavy usage on my Incredible, i use it from 4am to around 8-9am and its already down to 20% (heavy usage = streaming music from Sirius or my home PC using Audio Galaxy THE entire time)

I'm not too far off the old 66 myself - swing by on the bike, we'll get a _real_ malt at the 66 Diner. (no fooling

)

Geez - it's like I saw that in a movie or something...

well im with AT&T rite now contract is up next month..dunno what to get tired of waitin on this TB phone..what about dx? lol

You have waited this long, wait a tad longer, before you make a choice you will regret. DX is fine if you like Blur, if ur in a LTE market, not sure why your willing to settle for a lower end out dated phone already?

for those wondering yes i refuse to use the term 4G its not 4g its just LTE at best or 3.5G

bennnnnnnnnnnnnn seemed to indicate that that phone he was playing with had Netflix running on it. Mark my words, phones will need Gingerbread before they're allowed to run Netflix (and Playstaiton Suite, and Google Music, and OnLive, and probably Skype with working videocalling). Since it seems as if the phone is still launching with 2.2.1, I would say he's telling a tall tale or two.

You are correct

Gingerbread plus DRM protection built into chip, equals Netflix app for Android

Do NOT doubt me on this :mad:

ishould have mentioned that he is using 3g only as his area does not have 4g. give me a sec i'll post a link.

Makes more sense

4G is a battery hawg folks. Best to use it when you need it, not on all the time... assuming you even have 4G where you live.... Not until end of year for me

Are you honestly agreeing with me or mocking me?

Let's not fight. Let's drink beer and be friends.

Oh good because after lurking in other Android forums today looking for scraps of info on the TB, I appreciate this place more now.

I must be the only rube concerned with how the app space is mapped, because not one yahoo in that forum has asked about that. I just did though.....

lamoglinsgal · Mar 3, 2011

I just finished reading it, and now I'm excited again. I was losing hope and starting to think any big announcement would be, "Sorry, there really is no T-bolt." Now I can't wait!

It does exist!

Great thread to read. First time I have ever read 16 pages of a forum before lol

Depending on which UK team shows up- you all may be in trouble! :eek:

He gave an impression that the SIM card was the holdup - he didn't know that, so that's how that rumor started.

According to PhoneArena.com, the dimensions and weight are on par with the Evo - but HTC's site hasn't confirmed those specs. So - the idea that it might be huge compared to an Evo might or might not be true.

He didn't like the camera - no HTC camera works well with the stock settings, they do benefit greatly from setup changes from default.

He didn't answer if the kickstand was aluminum - the Evo kickstand was specifically non-magnetic to avoid antenna interference - assume same for the Bolt.

The Evo has a hidden, second LED under the grill that's not used, but was unleashed by an XDA dev. It was originally for 4G - he's not in a 4G area, so the Bolt might have that second LED.

The Evo's LED responds to Handcent options for color notifications - can't imagine HTC changing that circuit for any reason.

That's it for my 2 cents.
