Don't just get your info off of there, unininstall everything and wipe that stuff any way you can. When I got "my" phone back from Verizon after a simple update, I set up my mobile email and lo and behold, I was logged into with total access to someone else's account.

Up for a phone upgrade on Feb 1. I'm sticking with sprint, and definite want the andriod OS, but haven't decided yet between the Epic, or Evo, or the Evo Shift. Anybody have these phones or suggestions?

I've heard the Evo battery life is shit, but the Shifts is much better.

I own a Moto 1, have a good friend who owns an Evo. I've played with the Evo quite a bit and my only qualm is that it's too large and doesn't give me the option of a slide out qwerty (for whatever the hell one uses that for).

Basically the Shift is the bastard lovechild of the two. If I was still with Sprint, I'd own one. I hear the Epic is a brick and since it doesn't measure up in terms of specs with the Evo/Shift I wouldn't waste my time with it.

has there been any news on when the HTC Thunderbolt is being released, I'm due for an upgrade on the 14th of February and depending on when it's released I may go with that instead of the X, I don't think Verizon has officially announced it yet

o cool, thanks, didn't see it on there, but I just saw some other articles that say that as well


what would you guys suggest? Get the thunderbolt (I don't have 4G in my area yet) or get the X for $100

HTC and Verizon have had issues out-of-the-box in my experience. The Eris and Incredible took nearly a year to work out all of the kinks. Although Verizon is typically pretty good at releasing updates and fixes. It'd be cheaper and more of a "sure thing" to go with the X, imo.

Verizon halts iPhone sales after best "first day"

NEW YORK (Reuters) - Verizon Wireless ended online sales of Apple Inc's iPhone on Thursday evening after what it said was "the most successful first day sales in the history of the company."

The No. 1 U.S. mobile operator said it ceased pre-orders at 8:10 p.m. EST after opening limited pre-orders for the device to its existing customers at 3 a.m. Thursday morning.

Verizon Wireless Chief Executive, Dan Mead said in a statement that in its first two hours of iPhone sales the company "had already sold more phones than any first-day launch" in its history.

anyone know what the difference is (if any?) between buying a phone at Best Buy rather then the vzn store?? Rumors goin around BB will have the Tbolt on the 14th, and the stores not til the 24th

There's really no difference. I bought my Motorola Droid from Wal-Mart because they had a better promotional price with no mail in rebate bullshit, and I still have the original phone a year and a half later.

Amazon Hints The HTC Thunderbolt Release Date – Then Retracts

in case you-re wondering it’s rumored that the HTC Thunderbolt price will be $249 with a 2 year contract, according to a leaked Verizon document

2. The current edition of the Rolling Stone magazine features a HTC advertisment with Thunderbolt leading the way. Its partners in crime are the unannounced at the time, AT&T destined, HTC Inspire 4G, Sprint’s HTC Evo 4G ( who’s about to receive a little brother ) and T-Mobile’s G2.

It would be kind of pointless for HTC/Verizon to advertise a phone who’s release date wouldn’t be quickly approaching but, judging from what happened with HTC Merge, strange things have a tendency of happening very often in this industry.
