Yea, this is kind of a flame article and you sound very uneducated. If I didn’t look up and see the name of this website, I would be angry. The fact that it is a no-name website and that they probably pay people without degrees to share their opinion on technology makes me feel like everyone already knows you’re an idiot.

Why the hell do i need gingerbread or icecreamsandwhich? I don’t get it. I guess i look at the API maybe even attempt to update eclipse while I’m at it and see what else I can do. Change Log. PS Thunderbolt is old my $700.00 phone (bought it without contract) is now worth $150.00 upgrade sucker if you thunderbolt don’t surf the net no more :) Next Time you write article try to have some reasons why it sucks not just because you say it sucks.

There is no phone out with ice cream sandwich yet. It takes time for the companies to write software and test it and evn longer before the carriers allow it to be released. Its too bad I have to root and put a custom rom on my phone just to get it to work right. I love my thunderbolt I have a 3d sense 3.0 rom on my phone and it flies.and has no problems getting through a full day of use on the standard battery even using 3g all day and using it about 4 or 5 hours

2.3.5, 2.3.6, and 2.3.7 were specifically geared towards the Nexus S and Nexus S 4G. 2.3.7 introduced Google Shopper and Google Wallet, but in order to use Wallet, you need NFC. So I understand why the Thunderbolt is only at 2.3.4, but it’s still sad HOW LONG it took them to get there. Get the Galaxy Nexus, or any Nexus, when you can, and this will be a problem of the past.

Like everyone else I was waiting and waiting for the update that FINALLY came. So really what’s new?? Market is a little different, notification window is a little different but I don’t really see anything else.

Which makes about as much sense as a Moose banging a 3 legged beagle.

Yeah, them calling the Thunderbolt their “flagship” would be like Nissan calling the Sentra its new luxury car.

The Thunderbolt is plagued with problems, which makes me feel like an idiot because I was so excited to get one.

No, I wasn’t really expecting an Ice Cream Sandwich update. I was just expecting a newer version of gingerbread. The way I see it is if it’s going to be MONTHS late, we should at least get the newest version available.

And I won’t have this phone for much longer. I’m thinking about the Droid RAZR when they hit.

Honestly if you were expecting an ice cream sandwich update now, than you really don’t understand how android works. If you want to see ice cream sandwich on your tbolt before the end of 2012, if ever, i suggest you root your phone.

Also I don’t believe the changes from 2.3.4 to 2.3.7 would really change much for us.. I know 2.3.5 was a fix for wimax or something on the nexus 4g and having used 2.3.7 on aosp roms, I haven’t noticed any major changes. That being said, the looong wait for this upgrade was ridiculous, and you couldn’t be more right about the kickstands.
