One of our favorite announcements at CES: The HTC Thunderbolt!!


The HTC Thunderbolt has been a hot topic and one of the most anticipated devices for Verizon Wireless and their customers recently. Well, it just got hotter! Finally, the International CES tradeshow has given us the facts, photos and videos we’ve all been waiting for. This is one sexy beast I must say and something that Verizon has been needing since Sprint released the EVO! Would you agree or disagree?

You all may already know the Thunderbolt is HTC’s first LTE device described as “blazingly fast.” Just to give an example we have taken what CNET said and we quote:

“We were impressed at just how fast it pulled up CNET’s full site and played video. On other devices we’ve tested, it usually takes around 20 to 30 seconds to load CNET’s page, but it was up and running within a few seconds on the Thunderbolt. Videos also buffered and played within a couple of seconds with no interruption.”

Here are a few specifications:

  • 4.3-inch Super LCD display
  • WVGA (800×480) pixels
  • 1GHz Qualcomm Snapdragon MSM8655 processor
  • front-facing video camera
  • HD video capture
  • kick stand on back of device
  • 8-megapixel camera
  • HTC Sense with Android 2.2
  • Skype video chat
  • 8GB of on-board storage
  • 768 RAM memory card
  • preinstalled with 32 GB microSD
  • 1,400mAh lithium ion battery

Take a look at the video below of the HTC Thunderbolt from CNET to hear all about the specs on this phone! You’ll enjoy it as much as I did I’m sure.

This is all we have for you now! We are just waiting on the official release date. For now they are saying mid-year so we hope that gets here quick!! Let us know what you think. Do you like this phone? Does the processor bother you? We want to know!
