    Boss wanted the new Verizon Thunderbolt, so I had to pick up two today. I gotta be able to support the device for him.

    Speaking of tickets. We get email alerts from the building concierge about concerts/sporting events in town. Got an alert for Motley Crue this morning. They are still pulling $100.00 + per ticket for lower level. How awesome it that!!

    Kooty, is Verizon 4G available everywhere? What kind of download speeds are you seeing with it?

    In the metro, I’m getting 4G. I have not tested the download speeds yet. However, it’s noticeably faster when installing new apps.

    Lemme know. I want to see how it compares to my Evo. I have heard the VZW 4G is quite a bit faster than Sprint’s version. I’m getting between 2-8 mbs download speeds, depending upon signal strength. Way better than 3G.

    Nice! That is pretty good! Your upload speeds are amazing. I can just pick up a fading in-and-out 4G signal at work

    I’m surprised I get 4G service at home 3 miles north of Albertville.
