HTC Thunderbolt Surfaces Again!

[pc747]

I think on Jan 6th I will know what phone that I am going to buy. I hope they meant 2.2.1 and if its a single core then it is just like I thought. All HTC is doing is taking the successful Evo and putting it on all 4 carriers.... Win/Win for them.

Seems pretty "meh" to me although I kind of half expected it to be just an EVO on Verizon. Don't really care about HDMI support and front facing camera is nice but not something I desire right now until Google gets its act together on native Video calling. I would have paid full price for this phone if it were a big jump in specs but I think I'll just keep waiting till much later in the year when I'm sure we'll see devices with better specs by leaps and bounds.

If they would have even made it a dual core 800mhz processor I would go get it....but to just put out a single core....nope. But they will get people to buy it cuz the evo has hit mainstream as the best phone out...and to get an evo on vzw and att....they are gonna steal customers from apple.

Here's some info from Phone Arena. A 1926 quadrant score out of the box. How does that compare to dual core devices?

HTC Thunderbolt benchmarked, probably sports Qualcomm Snapdragon MSM8655 at 1GHz - Phone Arena

Oh I agree. I'm sure this will be a great phone for those looking for an upgrade and an alternative to the iPhone. I know a few people who jumped ship from their iPhones and bought an Android device (me included :biggrin.

My only question is what will LTE smartphone data plan pricing be like? I'm sure that will be a major factor in peoples purchase decisions. If I were looking for a new phone, the Thunderbolt would not be worth it if LTE plans cost a little more per month.

I mean.....it's nice but not my cup of tea. I can wait for something better

​

Yet another of the many announcements at today's AT&T Developer Summit, the Inspire 4G is a 4.3-inch monster from HTC that looks ripe to do battle with its counterparts on Sprint and Verizon with the very latest version of Sense first launched on the Desire Z and Desire HD a few months back featuring a lost phone finder, cached maps, fastboot, and more. As with the other "4G" phones that AT&T has announced today, the Inspire 4G doesn't support the carrier's upcoming LTE network -- it'll top out with HSPA+. More details as we have them!


I know that is att but its the same phone.

This phone will feature the MSM8566 SOC, while our thunderbolt will be rocking the MDM9600 SOC @ 1.2ghz. Not bad at all, really. I think I'm going to take the plunge. I am soo sick of att's issues, and the iPhone's issues, not to mention it being in everybody's hands.

How do you know what kind processor it will have? That one site that actually held a Thunderbolt says it's 1 ghz, so....

I could be wrong, but the MSM8655 is a processor and the MDM9600 is the LTE modem.
