Only phone the i would want out of those is the Bionic. but since i dont know how long it would take to get the bootloader unlocked…
I think I’ll stick with the ThunderBolt
I want a bionic soooooooooo bad!
I have the Thunderbolt and I have to say that it is a really nice device. The Bionic specs are impressive but being from Motorola makes it unacceptable to me.
The TB is phenomenally fast, very nice screen an does everything that I need it to do. The Revolution also looks like a winning phone and I may pick up one for my wife when it becomes available as she will be eligible for her upgrade by then.

No even talk of Windows Phone 7 models ? Man, I am really starting to hate Verizon more and more day by day….
WP7 is irrelevant.
Indeed. The Windows phone are the most ignored and underrated phones.
I’ve had an imagio for 3 years. Verizon didn’t even advertise it especially when they knew the first Androids were coming out.
Verizon sells on HYPE!
I was using built in flash video 3 years ago on my imagio when hardly any phones including the iPhone could.
Granted, SkyFire made everything work but something SHADY has transpired when after betta testing SkyFire for 2 years, Skyfire only makes a deal offering it as an “app” to Android and iPhones as they yankied the Windows server out from under us!!!!
The built in internet explorer was still doing youtube flash within it’s browser as well until recently it’s getting buggy as websites update their html, etc such as Youtube who has been upgrading their website and my imagio system is 3+ year old technology.
Opera 10 does some flash too.
Also, with windows phones like the imagio you don’t have to modify squat to install ANY application, mod, etc.
All programs install via sync or by just running a .cab file in the phone.
You can even use a registry editor like on a pc to tweek to your hearts content.
I now have a 3200 mAh battery in it and it lasts all day with heavy internet use.
The ONLY thing crappy about it was the poor layout of the stock tiles for Windows 6.5 but installing the awesome SPB Mobile Shell fixed that.
I’ve dropped the phone tons of times and it keeps working.
I’ve played with some new Android phones at Verizon. There was no 4G in my side of town and the new Android phone wasn’t any faster than my old imagio.
It didn’t seem any more capable either.
So bottom line. Windows phones are NOT irrelevant. They are just NOT hyped.
Google is big brother, worse than Microsoft.
Hope you like your private stuff being logged on the google site.
They already got busted doing so. As did the iPhone.
When they get Windows 7 out in more phones they’ll probably blow away the Android again.
Especially for those who like XBOX live.
Which i don’t care about.
I just want something like my imagio but with Windows, HD camera, and full flash support with the faster processor and I will be happy.
I hope Verizon gets on the ball.
