    Keep rooted Droid X2 or switch to rooted Thunderbolt

    <span style="font-family:arial black;">I am in need of some expert advice. I have a rooted Droid X2. I know a little bit about rooting. I had a Droid Eris, OG, and Droid X all rooted so I understand the benefits. I just need some advice from the experts. Should I trade my Droid X2, rooted with a Thunderbolt and root it? I live in Kansas City and 4G LTE will be here within the week. Please take your time and give me your best ideas on what I should do. Thanks in advance for your expertise!</span>

    If you can live without 4G keep the X2, 4G is really the only benefit a blunderbolt has over an X2.

    But, I'm a Motorola fanboy.

    I really can't see an advantage of having a bolt over the X2 except for 4g. Its bulkier, buggier, and has crappier hardware. I had one for a week or so and wanted to smash it. To me it seemed slower overall except for data speeds obviously.

    Thanks for you time. I am thinking of staying with the Droid X2. I am just curious what the difference is between the two phones?

    Different interfaces, worse battery life, but unlocked (Thunderbolt), and 4G.

    Looks like you probably already have enough input, but just in case, please, spare yourself. The Thunderbolt is a horrible phone.

    Keep you're x2 my friend has a thunder bolt, he hates it, other then taking nice pics,4g, front facing camera there's.nothing to it, remember the x2 is dual core,qhd which isn't bad in my option.if you don't care for those id say x2, but try both see wHich you like every body has their own preference,that's the great thing about driod, we have a choice.

    I guess I just assumed since the Thunderbolt is an HTC device that it wasn't locked, I apologize, I should've done the research before getting anyone's hopes up. lol I should know better.

    I had a Thunderbolt it had terrible battery life (half of X2) data connection was much buggier but was slightly smoother than X2. Personally i like the X2 better.
