Holy crap...I got this phone on about the 11th. I just checked my data usage and I'm at 10.5Gb. The only tethering I did was just to see how well it worked. Most of everything else has been regular internet surfing and Netflix. That's insane to me. Im glad I've got unlimited data, but I don't want them to throttle my speed.

Lulz there's no porn on Netflix. Trust me if I was actually using that data for porn I'd have no qualms about admitting it. I've got home computers for that bruh. I couldn't believe it when I saw though. I watched about 9 episodes of Sons of Anarchy, and a couple documentaries on Netflix. Did some Android market downloading, normal web surfing, and I actually turn off 4G when I'm on my phone most of the time. That is unless I'm trying to watch Youtube or Netflix. I know for a fact there are people here on Columbus Racing that do FAR more than this. I was just surprised by how much it was given the fact I wasn't really doing anything I wasn't supposed to be (i.e. tethering and torrents).

OTA 2.2.1 sucks. Updated last night, more bloatware, little to no 4G. Rooting soon.

 

Welcome to the dark side. After you root, throw the phone in airplane mode, turn WiFi on, go to the market and download Wireless Tether and enjoy.

Oh I had my Droid rooted, loved it. Holding off on this because I was happy, now no. My friend has his rooted, he'll help me out. Updates in the next few days.

 

No gingerbread no care :fa:

I'm in the same boat. Got the Thunderbolt today after spending two years happy with the original Droid. Waiting for Jones to help me root it. Much faster adaptation to the touch screen than I thought.

 

I know! I was iffy on all-touchscreen, but quickly got used to it.
