Should I Update or Can I update?
I just got a Thunderbolt. Admittedly, I bought a used one. I'm also a newbie to updates and such on my own.

Everything really is working good, except I don't have visual voicemail, can't figure out what to do or how to get it, but…

HTC TB for International calling/texting
I'm traveling to the UK for a long weekend and was wondering if there are any other options for using the HTC TB without having to incur the roaming charges? Would it be best to just buy one of those "pay as you go" phones or should I subscribe to one of the international plans offered by Verizon? From what I was able to…

Made a 1 in a million shot this morning with my phone. Knocked my bolt off the counter this morning, it rotated 180 deg (with a half pike) and landed screen down on the corner of a metal waste can. Cracked the glass... Looks like a spider web. What the going rate for a replacement screen?
Pop-Up Lag
Anyone experiencing some lag time with certain pop-ups? For example, I'll use the volume rocker to adust the level and, while I hear the "beep" as the volume adusts, the pop-up window appears maybe 10-15 seconds after I'm done. This is after the latest GB update.
