It might not be the most groundbreaking gadget on the planet, but it ranks among the top Smartphones of its time. The HTC Thunderbolt is the first phone to run on Verizon’s speedy LTE network. The Verizon LTE Network promises average download speeds of 5-12 mbps and average upload speeds of 2-5mbps. HTC Thunderbolt users will be able to make calls and use the data connection simultaneously, something that is not possible on the Verizon version of the iPhone 4. The HTC Thunderbolt does a good job of seamlessly switching between 3G and 4G. HTC Thunderbolt is designed almost exactly like the HTC Desire HD. The biggest difference being that the HTC Thunderbolt can access Verizon's new 4G LTE network.
The HTC Thunderbolt will be available through Verizon.com, Verizon retail stores and all authorized Verizon resellers. Best Buy is the only retailer taking pre-orders of the device. In order to place a Thunderbolt pre-order, you’ll need to visit your local Best Buy. No pre-orders through Best Buy’s website. The HTC Thunderbolt will retail for $249.99 with a new two-year Verizon contract or eligible upgrade. Currently, Verizon's 4G LTE unlimited data plan costs $29.99per month. The carrier is also making the mobile hot-spot feature free until May 15. Pricing for the 4G mobile hot-spot service has not been announced by Verizon, unlike previously reported.
As a phone, it offers a speakerphone, conference calling, voice dialing, text and multimedia messaging. Stereo Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, and GPS are also all onboard. A unique feature of the Thunderbolt compared with Verizon's other Smartphones is that it can do simultaneous voice and data over 4G and 3G, thanks to a special chipset in the handset. The HTC Thunderbolt runs Android 2.2 with the latest version of HTC Sense, which brings such enhancements as new camera tools and a faster boot time and comes with a 1 GHz Snapdragon processor. In addition to the standard Google services and support for Microsoft Exchange, POP3 and IMAP accounts, and social network integration, the Thunderbolt comes preloaded with a number of extra apps from HTC and Verizon, including HTC's Peep Twitter client, Footprints, the Bitbop video streaming service, Rock Band, Let's Golf, and TuneWiki, which lets you listen to Internet radio and view music videos with lyrics, among other things. Some of the other built-in programs though can’t be uninstalled. For now, the only compatible programs are Tango and Fring so you can download them and install.
