Im wondering if the tbolt can do TV via the head phone jack like some of the galaxy s phones..... id like to have it display google maps on my car monitor.....
or even this would work! http://htcpedia.com/news/htc-droid-incredible-tv-out-cable-review.html
Having TV out would be great. The only downside to the Thunderbolt for me is the lack of HDMI out...

Though it's not the same as an HDMI-out, the Thunderbolt will be able to provide HDMI-out through an adapter.

I'm liking the first three accessories; Accessories Supported: HDMI Adapter, Wireless Charging , Extended Battery (3.7VDC, 2750mAh)
The accessories listed above with a 1 year contract is tipping me over to the TB side. My two concerns for the TB is the battery life and cellular reception. I have only owned 2 HTC phones; one was the Tilt on the AT&T network (the reception was sub-par) and the second is the Droid Eris (it does have good reception with the new radio).
The Devs have made the Eris into a good viable smartphone for the masses but the screen size is still not to my liking. I want and need more screen size and resolution to make it work well for me.
I have been thinking of waiting for the Bionic to come out and look at the comparison reviews before making the decision. With the 4G tiered plans looming over our heads, I don't know if it's a good idea to wait. Lastly, how is the earthquake and tsunami in Japan going to affect the availability of new phones?
Decisions... decisions... Both of my lines are up for renewal.....

It is still the 32gb card. I called verizon today because I am on the fence between this and the merge (assuming it has an LTE radio and how long it will take to come out?) I'm sick of the D2 and I miss HTC phones, so i'm going to be paying the full lick. I wanted to find out about data pricing and she said it would be the same, with no premium. And "unlimited". I'm kind of afraid to wait because of the tiered pricing coming up and I really don't want to lose unlimited data.
oh, and there's this.

I was in your boat with wanting to wait for the LG or Moto device but after hearing from my buddy on the inside, I ordered the thunderbolt so I could jump on unlimited LTE, Verizon will grandfather your unlimited plan and you'll never have to worry about going over and having to pay more, to me, that was worth it alone, I'll wait 20 months to get a new device for unlimited LTE, even if it's not in your area, more then likely, it will be over the next year or so, but from what I've heard from my buddy, unlimited data is going to be ending in the next weeks, not summer time like some of the tech hubs have been saying, I'm using the ext battery and waiting for a case that'll fit, love the device, will root once custom recoveries are available! Good luck with your choice
Oh and Radio is great in this device, personally I think it's stronger then my incredible not by much but usually where I have one bar I have two and so forth plus lte is a dream, no issues with using hotspots for my Xbox to get on some COD, bandwidth report under options in cod shows 10000kbs, better then my ll DSL at only 515 kbs.

There is no HDMI port on the phone, period. There is a new standard interface for USB->HDMI dual port (called HML), but I know the Thunderbolt doesn't have it. I looked at the port with my own eyes.
I think you and that PDF file are referring to the DLNA->HDMI adapter from HTC:
mobileburn.com/news.jsp?Id=10802
It will work good for us folks that don't have DLNA tvs, but don't assume you will be able to do Atrix style webtop, mirror display things. DLNA is for streaming video and music, not re-compressing what is on your Android/Thunderbolt screen and sending it via DLNA. Think about the lag on that and overhead to do it. Lack of HDMI, like the Atrix was one of my biggest hangups with the Thunderbolt. I think it was a huge mistake to think DLNA is the future. Webtop, HDMI, MHL, and/or WHDI are! Booooo HTC. But everything else so far is awesome with the Thunderbolt! So cheers HTC!

I posted a thread in the accessories or general forum asking about this. But no one responded. I have done a google search and checked verizon and amazon, with no luck. According to the PDF, we are suppose to be able to get this, but I don't know where.
Since no1 had the usb to rca cord for the incredible i guess il check out the vzw store on my lunch break tomorrow

Very cool. I need to upgrade my laptop for school and this might be an option.
I know this is an old thread, but by doing this, are you able to use the xoom dock as a charger and speaker as well?
My Xoom dock does not charge my electrify, Haven't tried to use it for webtop, or anything really, but before I got my dock for the electrify I did try it on the xoom dock and no charging went on. Didn't even think to try the xoom dock for speakers and hdmi though, maybe I'll give it a shot.
What would you do with your Aria once you decide to get the next big one! (since your 2yr renewal is up)
I personally think someone should develope a Game ROM for the Aria, you know make it into a Sega Genesis or SNES port of some kind!
.
I'll give it to my sis, she inherits all my old (and not so old) technology
And could be soon, right now I have the SGS2 on my sight...
Debating that very question myself right now. Just got my Thrill today. Probably turn the Aria into a dedicated mp3 player/wifi device...that or sell it.

Yeah not much going on for it yet. A couple of slightly tweaked/themed stock roms. I hope kernel.org comes back up soon so some real development can get going. A good thing is no locked bootloaders or anything to discourage development.

I've moved on from my beloved Aria long ago, but she still still puts in work occasionally as a dedicated audio player and back up phone for my girl mostly since she's extremely bad with phones.
Someone stole her iP3G so I bought her an iP4. Someone stole her iP4 so I gave her the Aria. She broke the digitizer, so I gave her My Pre+. She dropped the Pre+ into a glass of wine (don't ask...) so I gave her back the fixed Aria. She destroyed the Digi yet again, so for the time being she's using an Xperia X10a I got her. Lets see how long this one will last........
So far so good. She wants to use her upgrade on the iP5 when it eventually comes out. x_X
Here's hoping I can can get the X10 back in one piece...

hmmm... do these units have an HDMI out or is the only way to connect the phone up to my LCD screen is to have a dock or an HDMI hack?
it would be sick if they had an hdmi out and we could run the lapdock screen and extend to a monitor, but then again i bet the graphics hardware does not support this.
but i see that is says comes with 2 USB ports. guessing this would mean we can connect a usb keyboard or mouse? would USB storage sticks be supported?
im curious how the hardware and drivers would behave when connected to the lapdock from these units. does the drivers load to the lapdock or phone or what events take place here?
I hope Motorola sees this post and thinks about the user. hdmi out please.
Either way, I'm am happy this is coming out...my mopho is gonna be complete with this!

It was mentioned in one of the posts elsewhere that it also has a wifi radio. Although I can't confirm that.

In a bid to make the new LapDock more useful, the new version also includes a built-in Wi-Fi N radio in order to use it more effectively without relying on the phone’s data connection

According to the 2011 Fall CTIA Convention, at the Sprint booth, you are correct. The Motorola representavive said that it will be available at the Sprint Store for around $250.
Please join the Motorola Photon fan group on XDA. See my signature for details.
And once again, as usual, they couldn't make the plug on the cable so that it fits a phone WITH a case on. If I have to remove my case to use the lapdock, then forget it, I won't be buying it.

Yep...way too expensive for just a "dumb" terminal. Personally I would rather have something I can plug my phone into and turn it into a tablet. Then would have larger touchscreen that can have keyboard/mouse added to it. More functional in my opinion. Guess if I was traveling a lot it would be nice to have.

-Bootloader is unlocked (v2.3.4, never loaded new bootloader.

Root phone get Roam Control from play store (there was a beta version floating around). Roam on Verizon try to make a call you'll get a recorded message on minute packages. I paid $25 for 100 minutes +/- good for a year. I forget the name of the company but they have a web site. I did this on a questionable photon out going calls only. You might have better results. You have to enter a calling card number I found an app that does it automatically.
I keep this in my truck and all so have done what "atroph" posted. It's nice to be able to kill the check engine light ;/)
And now that you can save a map you can have a GPS without wireless service.
