If this phone can perform a "flying reach around" I will get it.

For all the ones that need more juice you can get the 2700 mah battery for like more than double the power... However, keep in mind that getting a huge battery nearly doubles to triples charge time. But it really adds function. I'm going to get it for my phone. Not that I need it, but it is nice to have a second longer life battery.

Here's a little comparison against it's older brother, the EVO from Sprint.

I have my eye on the EVO 3D.

I got my TB last thursday and have been loving it. These LTE speeds are awesome.


FYI, there is NO HDMI output on the TB. However, HTC has listed an HDMI adapter as an accessory, so that should be out soon hopefully. They are supposed to release a Multimedia Dock, which I believe will have HDMI out. I'm not sure if they are going to release a microUSB to HDMI cable, or a similar adapater seperate from the dock. I haven't seen too much literature on the subject.

Rooting is when you "hack" into your phone and unlock it to be reprogrammed. Once you root your phone, you can install various ROMs or operating systems and customize to your liking. For more reading, i would go here: http://www.xda-developers.com/

I have the Droidx and love it. I can go almost 2 days without charging and I use mine all the time. But videos will drain it fast. Can I root this phone, if so, how????

I can usually make it a full day, about 16 hours for me. Of course there are those days it's dead before lunch.


Yes you can root it. Check out some droidx forums. I've been wanting to do it, just don't have time to mess with it right now.

Going to get the Bluetooth Obd2 for the truck so I can use torque on my phone to watch boost readings

I'm still debating on whether to root my phone or not. I like the HTC Sense.

Deciding to root your phone or not?! Root it dude...

If you think rooting it might hurt it... why not try overclocking it?

I've got mine OC'd to 1.8 Ghz. Kills the standard battery, but it runs great on the extended... plus I modded my case with a Dremal, and it works great.
