So, that means not all Android phones running 2.2 or higher can be mobile hotspots like the Nexus One and Nexus S. I don’t understand why everyone is talking like this is a big deal, I’ve had this ability on my Nexus One since the end or June. It’s not new to the operating system or the phones capability, it’s just a carrier finally allowing a “locked” phone to use abilities it was design to be able to do in the first place. Will Verizon charge extra for people to use this old Android feature like AT&T is going too? The Nexus One was launched over a year ago now and featured the 1ghz Snapdragon processor. It sounds like a liked down CDMA 4g version of the Nexus One to me. No thanks, I’m tired of the cellphone companies telling me what features on my phone I can have access too. By the way I type or rather simply spoke this into my Nexus One and it transcribed everything for me.

Seems the Thunderbolt is on steroids. It also reminds me of the HD2. Both great phones but both short lived. Since the dual cores are arriving I’m not sure how long the Thunderbolt will live. If the Thunderbolt is cranked up it may be the testing ground to enable the dual core future operations. Yes the Thunderbolt ‘is’ lightning fast, fastest on the market. We’ll see.
