HTCing

A few things:

1.  I've installed Prey on my Thunderbolt.  I've run it on my Dell Mini but wasn't aware that they made it so that it can be used on Android phones (which is Linux at its core).  On a side note, they also now make versions for Macs and Windows.

2.  Noted that there's no Zinio for Android versions below v3.0.  That's a huge bummer.  I'd wanted to use it on this phone but this phone is using Android v2.2.1.  I might not ever see v3.0.  I don't even believe there are many phones using v3.0.  I've no idea why they didn't focus on what's being used broadly.  I guess I'll have to continue to use Zinio on my iPad and Macbook.

Some of the apps I've installed so far:

androidVNC
AutoKiller Memory
Delicious
doubleTwist
Dropbox
Facebook
JuiceDefender
Linode Android
Lookout
Motorcycle.com
mSecure
Prey
Speed Test
Tapatalk
Unit Converter
White Noise
Zedge

Some of these were suggested to me, but most of these I either used on my iPad or iPhone.  I haven't used them all yet.  I need to, because some of the UI on these apps have quite a different layout than their iPhone versions.

I also have gotten a taste of 4G LTE, but only at work, and even then it's sporadic, since where I work is at the fringes of coverage.

I've noticed I haven't dropped a call yet, and I've tested in the places where I used to constantly drop calls when I used the iPhone.  This is good!

I also got my 25% employee discount enabled on this phone's account...can't wait for that to kick in.

Tried the speaker phone today, also...I love it.  I do notice that the speaker sounds a bit muffled when the kickstand isn't pulled out, but the speaker is way louder than what I had on the iPhone.

It also feels GOOD to have REAL Bluetooth again!  :)
