Verizon Droid Bionic vs. iPhone 4 vs. HTC Thunderbolt

[howarmat]

good match up

google has 200K apps though actually not 100k

[johnly#CB]

and the bionic has a fm radio I am sure as the X does....

[zensen]

I'm not quite what the deal is with dedicated touch keys? Are they capacitive keys made to look like hardware keys? I mean the iphone has one button used to 'navigate'

interesting image but nevertheless, someone had too much time on their hands :P

[jwmax]

meh, i'll pass. Apple leads in apps AND crappy apps

[JRZLocal]

Can't wait till these are out. The bionic is still at the top of my list but won't know for sure until I can go to the store and try these out.

I sure as **** won't pay $600 for a phone that is using outdated hardware (once dual cores start releasing) just because it is LTE and voice/data friendly. Nice try.

[nikkiau]

The LTE devices wont mean anything to some ppl for a while bc it will b available in only select areas and not have full coverage until I think 2013.

As a BlackBerry fan I would love to see the BlackBerry Monaco (or whatever they call it this week) in the comparison. I know it wouldn't stack up well but seeing it side by side would make my switch to Droid easier when the Bionic comes out.

Yeah that is one thing I was wondering? I don't always even have 3g right now! I wonder if LTE will be different or beings I am in a rural area that doesn't have the best 3G (it bounces back and forth) will mean I won't be able to use lte for a while!

Does anyone know if the HTC Thunderbolt will have global capabilities?

[lapeter#cb]

I saw that initially it will not be global, but later it will. I plan to keep my Storm 2 as a back up when I go overseas. I will just activate the Storm and deactivate it when I return.

[uflac1105]

After I left the post, I did some digging on the web. From what I could see it will have Global roaming on it.
Guess we will have to wait and see when it comes out to know for sure. If it is Global, I will probably give it a try. Sounds like a great phone

[howarmat]

it wont be global since there wont be any GSM radio in it

[The_Engine]

That's the first I heard of TB having global capabilities. I hear it can do voice and data on 3G. The comparison between the these 3 is that the iphone is only 3g with no voice and data, TB is 4g, and can due voice and data on 3g, and HTC will open it up for support from the Dev community, and the bionic is dual core so you may be able to scale better and longer with it, but, Motorola is going to lock it up and deny Dev access as much as they can. (sorry for the run on sentence?)

So do you want iTunes, custom ROMS, or that dual core for games and future proofing?

Its a hard call, depending on your needs.

And you never know....lG may come in with the revolution and give good root access and dual core.

I was initially going to wait for the Bionic but I've decided to get the Thunderbolt in 2 weeks. It looks like a great phone. Not dual core, but I'm not sure I need that right now. Perhaps in 2 years I will.

Thunderbolt or Bionic.. Round 1 Fight!! « Life, politics and the confessions of a Tech addict…

Reading it myself now...

[Chrisy]

Awesome, thanks for this link! Great blog, lol.

I don't do any gaming so that's why I'm leaning toward the Tbolt now. Yeah, and because it's out in a few weeks!

The more I think about it the more I want the thunderbolt but I know it's just the new toy bug biting. I think I will painfully wait and see what htc's dual core offering will be before upgrading... sad panda

[Chrisy]

lol. Well, if the Bionic was out when the tBolt is, I'd get that. So I am being a bit impatient too.

But I've had my BlackBerry Tour for 2 years now. So I'm excusing my desire. My eyes hurt from this tiny screen!

[dragonsamus]

Haha. Yeah, you need the upgrade more than I do. My incredible is still running perfectly... I don't have a reason for upgrading. Boo

Posted from my CrackBerry at wapforums.crackberry.com

[Chrisy]

Haha, no you don't. If I had a Droid X I'd wait another 6 months to upgrade.

We could trade phones. Then you'd have to upgrade!

[dragonsamus]

Although I would love to trade phones I don't think you will like my incredible very much so I will just hang on to it. Haha.
I guess I can wait and see what HTC will produce for the second half of the yeah... haha

In your opinion, why would you get the Tbolt over the Bionic? Aside from release date.
