Guys can we please stop the back and forth? Sean76 has every right to his opinion, just like you do. I personally see both sides of this, I am content to use a phone that isn't the latest and gratest as long as it does what I need and does it well. The TB is that phone for ME, however others feel differently and that is their right.
This forum is for debate and discussion, you are not going to always agree with what people post here. However there is a way to disagree and be civil, and a way to disagree and be a douche. Please just be civil. Disagree with someone all you want, however don't attack the poster, attack the issue.
If you don't agree that the OPs opinion is correct, say so, however saying that the person "know's nothing about tech" is not proving any point at all and just leads to fighting and bad blood. We are all here because we want to discuss the phone.
Sean and I have had our disagreements, however we have always been civil about it with each other. We might not agree on everything, but at the end of the day we could go out buy each other a beer and probably have a good old time.
Again have your opinions, disagree all you want, but be civil about it.
What I'm saying is this, and hopefully it puts some stuff to rest... Yes a lot of us chase technology, why not, its fun.
However, could HTC have givin us more 2011 type specs, yes they could have IMO. Could they have givin us some specs to make this VZW's flagship for about a year, Yes IMO they could have.....JUST LIKE SPRINT DID WITH THE EVO....I like what Sprint did, they waited a whole year to bring another flagship phone to the table....they really spun the mobile world upside down last year with the EVO, it was a game changer. And now a year later they're doing it with the EVO 3D. IMO that's the way to do it! That's all I'm saying. So yes we have the TB here, and while it is a great phone, I do think they could have pushed the envelope on the specs a little further. Like a better screen with better resolution, a better battery, a thiner device just like the one announced today, and yes a dual core so that it can last a whole year running with all these other dual core devices. So if some of you don't see my point, that fine. However, I applaud what Sprint did, they waited a whole year to really bring a better HTC device to the table. Good business IMO. Not even a whole month after the TB came to market, HTC goes out and announces what I consider to be real 2011 type phone specs, all in a beautiful package. Yes I think they could have gave us more...just my opinion.
If thunderbolt was released on its original release date without hitting multiple delays it would have been a great phone at that time.
Bro, the Sensation isn't coming to VZW, though. So technically VZW is doing exactly what Sprint did with the EVO until they release a new HTC device that's better than the TB.
It is still a great phone and I'd rather have it than the 3D and/or sensation on a crappy network.

My biggest "damnit" moment with the Sensation announcement is the fact that it has Sense 3.0... Wasn't Sense 2.0 on the TB supposed to be the latest and greatest rendition of SenseUI? That was short lived! It's software... not hardware... but the TB probably won't see Sense 3.0. HTC has never upgraded a device to the latest SenseUI. I hope they change there ways!
Not too worried about the dual core, but I agree 100% with sean76... it is ridiculous how quickly these companies are pumping out new devices. But it will catch up with them when the market is completely saturated and their devices are End-Of-Life within a month or 2. Inventory will crush them, unless they only plan on selling a handful of each device
From my understanding the TB will be getting Sense 3.0 when it gets Gingerbread.

the torch was release on August 12th. exactly 8 months to the day. the new torch wont be here til about 1 year after.Which will be by summer...I bet we see leaked pics of something by July. Rocking all the specs we just went over. Hey If the consumer buys it, these companies win essentially. Like I said I'm good with the TB for now! But when a new super phone comes to VZW by HTC soon, a lot if belly aching will start...and a lot of people are going to say...this is what the TB should have been to begin with...
A good example....RIM is getting set to bring a new BB Torch to market. It's the same exact device on the outside, for the exception of a new battery door, and I believe a bigger battery. However its rocking a sweet 1.2Ghz processor, a new screen with better resolution, and is said to have better build quality. Now in my eyes, that's what the Torch should have been in the first place. It only came out like what, 6 months ago? That's the road HTC is going down...releasing to many phones in a short period of time. We'll have a TB successor real soon, you'll see.

Because the TB was supposed to come out months ago thats why. You do realize that they didnt just all of the sudden make the tb and release it phones takes months to design and what not.
its time to start buying whats good enough to suite your needs rather then having the latest greatest unless you dont mind buying a new phone every 6 months.
You really need to go my man. How long have you been here? Whats the point of your post, that I don't get it. Ok seriously, I get it wise guy. You sound like a poster boy fan boy! You just got here and your already in danger of being viewed as a venom enriched trouble maker. It's not cool to down play your fellow members on these Forums. As for the phone, if your ok with rocking the TB for the next 2 years with a single core, that's absolutely fine with me, enjoy yourself. I have the funds to buy a new phone every week...lol. That is not the point, bragging rights is not the point. Cannibalism is the point. Releasing a new phone every 2/3 months is insane. Especially when the next one has all the things a 2011 type should! That's my point. Your post was uncool, it was directed hard at me...do I take offense? No I don't, I'll be here long after you leave my man. Either way, enjoy your day!
i agree wit u 100 percent sean76 as bad as i wanted the Tb i didnt want to be jealous of a phone far superior. i wanted to b completely satisfied with the one i had..so i held out on the Tb. i kinda blame verizon more then htc though..i said this b4 verizon seems more interested in motorola phones then htc...like when i bought the incredible...sprint came out with the evo right after..thunderbolt JUST came out now the evo 3d and sensation are coming on other carriers...verizon is going to hype the MOTOROLA bionic as their flagship phone and we prolly wont c a htc dual core till q3..but by then other carriers will have superiors one...VERIZON WILL NEVER OWN THE BEST HTC PHONE!! and i hate that..and now we got the iphone which is going to put htc even further down their list!!! if it wasnt for their service and the new lte i woulda been gone!!! because we certainly dont have the best phones in my opinion..
