Q. I want a phone were i can listen to music, play games, text easy, and have great service. I just don't know if I should go with the Droid X2 with 3G or to go 4G and pay the extra money.
A. The wait is finally over for Verizon Wireless's first 4G LTE smartphone! Say hello to the HTC Thunderbolt, which will be taking advantage of the company's new 4G LTE network. After reviewing AT&T's Inspire 4G, which is cut from nearly the same cloth, it was apparent that Verizon customers were the lucky ones based on the Thunderbolt's overall package. Not only does it connect to Verizon's new 4G LTE network, but the phone actually offered some significantly advanced features when compared to its AT&T cousin. Competing smartphones should be sweating copiously with the release of this phone, which offers 40GB of storage out of the box, a front-facing 1.3-megapixel camera with skype video chat on the rise, kickstand, and access to the burgeoning Android Market. It's not the most groundbreaking device on the planet, but we found it to rank amongst the top smartphones in its time. Join us on our hunt for the storm as we chase the HTC Thunderbolt (specs) throughout the InfoSync labs.
Design
From a head-on perspective, the Thunderbolt is almost identical to the HTC Inspire 4G. We're assaulted by a sizable 4.3-inch WVGA capacitive touchscreen display and a panel of haptic feedback buttons: Home, Menu, Back, and Search. Just like the Inspire 4G, the phone's screen was highly sensitive and offered an impressive graphics spread. However, the Thunderbolt strays from the Inspire by embedding a 1.3-megapixel front-facing camera next to the handset speaker. At some point, users will be able to take advantage of video calling via skype, but that wasn't available to us just yet. To compliment the front-facing camera, the phone is equipped with an 8-megapixel primary camera on the back with 720p HD video recording capability and a dual LED flash.
Aside from the front-facing camera, the phone is a memory machine compared to the Inspire 4G. Out of the box, we get a whopping 32GB MicroSD card and 8GB of internal storage, bringing the total to 40GB from the starting line! The HTC Inspire 4G has 4GB of internal space and an 8GB MicroSD card, offering a net of 12GB out of the box. For the multimedia junkie, the Thunderbolt packs in one of the largest storage capacities in its class. Unfortunately, accessing the MicroSD card means removing the batteryâsomething we didn't have to accomplish on the Inspire 4G, thanks to its separate compartments. Therefore, we found it was best to connect the phone to a computer via the included USB cable for drag-and-drop action.Lastly, you'll notice that the phone has a kickstand for propping the phone up while watching movies and playing certain games. Not only that, but we truly dig the phone's style, flaunting a gunmetal gray and matte black color combination with stainless metal kickstand running across like a belt. It also offers the standard architectural fanfare, including a 3.5mm audio jack, volume control rocker, open USB terminal, and Power/Lock switch. Portability wise, the phone is slightly thicker than the Inspire 4G, but we prefer its looks over its AT&T cousin any day.
Software and Interface
The phone is equipped with a 1GHz Snapdragon MSM8655 chipset with the Adreno 205 GPU for improved graphics and video hardware acceleration, which is the same configuration found in the Inspire 4G. More common traits consist of the Thunderbolt's Android 2.2 OS with the latest iteration of HTC Sense. It's worth noting that the phone will receive an Android 2.3 upgrade within the near future, an OS tweak that we praised on the Nexus S. Let's just say the Thunderbolt was one of the faster smartphones we've tested, enabling us to fly through screens and pages effortlessly.
But the star of the show was HTC Sense. The latest version of the highly acclaimed interface offered more versatility in the appearance department via the Personalize feature. Here we could choose from various Scenes, which acted like profiles that were tailored to a particular user's interests. Social, Work, Play, and Travel were some options offered by HTC, and we could also apply Skins (Themes) that customized the entire look of the phone. In fact, when we tap and hold on one of the Thunderbolt's 7 home screens, the Personalize screen pops up, offering Widgets, Applications, Shortcuts, Folders, and even Sound Settings.
We got Leap, which allowed us to pinch and zoom a home screen to display all home screens minimized at once, and HTC Sense offered its famous Weather widget with live weather updates and animation. We really liked the fact that the dropdown menu displayed our most recently opened applications, and Androids Manage Applications program enabled us to kill programs that were hanging around and chomping memory and battery life. Overall, the HTC Sense experience was seamless and refinedâcertainly an example of premiere phone software.

Is there a sensor in my nike plus shoes?
Q. I bought a pair of Nike plus shoes.
Is there a sensor in them or do I have to buy one?
What does the sensor in the shoe do?
Is it worth getting one?
I have the android app and it has no menu or settings for the shoe sensor,why not?

A. - Unless you have put a sensor in there then there won't be one
- Don't base your running shoe choice on a gadget, base it on how they feel and fit (just in case you didn't)
- If you want to put a sensor in the shoe you have to buy one and remember that other companies apart from Nike make running gadgets with a shoe sensor (such as Adidas, Garmin, Timex, )
- The sensor essentially sends a signal out every time it moves and when it stops moving and from this can work out how many steps you are taking and how long your foot is stationary on the floor for (it is stationary when in contact with the floor - else you are slipping). A bit of maths from the number of steps and time stationary works out speed and then some maths to work out distance and a guess at the calories you have used. Assume this to be about 90% accurate - above or under what it really is.
- To use the nike systems you will need to buy a sensor and have a gadget to record and display the data that it sends out. The cheapest is the sportsband (about £40) the most expensive is the ipod (£160 + receiver) or the iphone (iphone 4S from about £500 - remember that next time you take it for a run in the rain).
- My preferred system is a Garmin GPS watch (Garmin forerunner 205 by preference) and if you must listen to music then a much cheaper than overpriced apple stuff and a Sony mp3 player at about £20 or supermarket own one for about £10... then all is good when it rains
- I have no idea about robots

Spiritually speaking, do you think life-like android servants in the future will be a good thing?
Q. We're making progress faster than expected.
I'm sure they will be used for more than just helping businesses or housekeeping.
Babysitting, or just plain friends. I mean think of all the loners and hermits that will rely on them for company. Do you think that's wrong? Do you think it'd be better than having a pet? I think as a society leaving people alone whether they are lively or not is a wrong.

A. Humanoids is an Abomination to the LORD.
Because people worship robots.
