The key to the Thunderbolt with the stock battery is bump charging. I do need to pick up an additional battery especially since VZW is letting TB users pick them up at half price.
I have the Thunderbolt and I absolutely hate it. It is way too buggy for me. Half my phone calls go straight to voicemail without the phone ever ringing and apps are constantly crashing. If connected to Wi-Fi for too long it just drops the connection even though the status bar shows it is in fact getting signal not to mention every now and than it loses all data connection which can be quickly resolved by popping it in and out of airplane mode. At first I thought I received a lemon but these issues seem to be pretty common on the Driod forums. I am hoping with the next update they work the bugs out instead of just abandoning the device as newer and better devices come to market for 4G. Fingers crossed as I am stuck with this thing for a while.
I also came from Blackberry and bugs included I still would choose this over another berry device any day.
