When you say no development, I hope you mean from HTC and Verizon. I don't know if there is a phone out there that had more devs
building Roms than the Bolt.

I too am on my TBolt still. I'll admit seeing all the new sexy screens has me really interested in upgrading (I too got in on the 1 yr contract so I'm upgrade eligible).

But unless the SIII suddenly has great radios, I see nothing that's worth the $200-$300 right now. Or even in the future unless there's a One X variant.

If you can accept a smaller screen the Incredible 4G will be a worthy upgrade.

Really? Whatever they use on the iPhone shatters when you look at it wrong. Whatever the Thunderbolt glass may be it's tough as hell. I've abused my TBolt so much and it's still perfectly in tact since day 1. I have to use an iPhone for work and in 1 year I've broken 17 screens so far. Pretty much everyone on my team has broken at least 5. So it's at least exponentially stronger than iPhone glass if you can consider that "regular" glass

I think it's a little bit more the placement of the glass on the iphone that makes it shatter. Dumbest phone design ever-- a lot of **** would look cooler if it was wrapped in glass, but common sense says you'd break it

With studies it's much stronger than iphone glass but not indestructible

There's no way this thing has Gorilla Glass. I got mines on release day and the first day I put it in my pocket and there was a scratch from my keys. Have had Ghost Armor on it since.


Anyways, I've been anxious to upgrade but the only one I would upgrade to would be the GNex but then that's not worthy of dishing out $100+ for when my TBolt is still holding it's item.

When my upgrade comes around, the iPhone 5 and HOPEFULLY the rumor of the 5 Nexus phones becomes a reality, the wait would be worth it in the end.


This is my first time having a phone longer than 1year. I've been on VZW for 10 years.

If dropped this face down on concrete several times. No chips, scratches, or breaks. Awesome
