I have a Droid X and have been offered a trade for a Thunderbolt. I've looked it over and the TB seems to have no issues. I'm just afraid of the overheating issues its having since trading means I would have no warranty. Would you do it?
So this is just a straight up trade? You can always get insurance on it through a third party I believe if that is a concern. You would be upgrading to a phone that is 4G and about 6 months newer. I have heard the battery is not as good as the X's, but it is also unlocked so there is a little more you can do to it to make it run better. While I love my X, for a straight up trade to a 4G, newer phone I would have a hard time not making that trade.
No I'm throwing in some cash in the trade as well. What 3rd party would I be able to warranty it from? As my biggest fear of trades is that the phone doesn't work. I've heard some overheating stuff which scares me.
Nope, the battery life is terrible. If you get a bigger battery for the T-bolt, you might as well pick up a brick and attach a mic and speaker to it and use that as a phone

If your interested in a Thunderbolt with battery life similar to the X (Liberty was what I got the best battery life followed by ApeX) then try Das BAMF Stripped 1.8 or remix 1.8. For even better battery life try Imo's lean kernelWell, I would keep the X. I recently purchased a new (used less than a week) TB from a friend and it seems to be a nice phone, but the battery life really sucks. So, I fixed it up for my sister and she has it now, she switched from her X to the TB and kept her X. She has offered to give it back to me because the battery life sucks...even with the extended battery. She recently went on vacation and went through several locations that actually had 4G and that has at least for the moment got her keeping it.
But I had/have the chance to get it at anytime, but I am just not interested. If battery life was better and there were more 4G service areas or if I lived even remotely close to a 4G area I might think about it, but think is probably it for now .
