Ditto. I had an original droid phone that broke two days ago. I thought I would buy the new VZW iPhone. The clerk said to me, "Can you wait until tomorrow?" "Why do you ask," I said. He said, "The new VZW 4G Thunderbolt goes on sale. Trust me, you don't want to buy anything else."

The next day, as I waited in line, there were several folks trading iPhones for the HTC phone. However, a majority of the people were upgrading from an existing Android phone. A small discussion between folks waiting in line sprung up. The iPhone people were annoyed that most of the apps for the iPhone cost money, whereas, most of the apps in the Android market are free. Toss in the tethering and wifi hotspot capability with 4G, makes the decision practically a no brainer. The only reason why I could foresee someone sticking with the iPhone is that syncing to iTunes is very simple.

This HTC 4G phone loads webpages faster than my Dell and the Apple computers that I have recently used. My original Droid phone would lag, pause, and slowly load a page. Not this phone. You click a link and BOOM, it's loaded.
