With the thirteen Verizon Android phones the The HTC ThunderBolt currently is their premier phone. Other popular Verizon Androids will be the Motorola's Droid 2 along with the HTC Droid Incredible 2. However, these two phones will not sport the 4G connectivity, while the ThunderBolt will.
From a physical point of view the ThunderBolt is fairly heavy (6. 4 ounces) along with large (4. 8 x 2. 6 x 0. 5 inches HWD). For some this is no problem and gives the phone a great premier feel, but if you just like a phone that fits lightly as part of your pocket this one may not be for you. The display screen is an impressive 4. 3 Inches (400 x 480 pixels), giving you crisp observing even at obscure angles. There is a 1. 3 megapixel front struggling with camera for video calling and a powerful 8 megapixel back camera with dual-LED display. The real aspect of which puts this phone before the Droid 2 and Droid Incredible 2 is the connectivity speed - the ThunderBolt has become running on Verizon's 4G LTE system. Verizon's rapid 4G circle is new and already covers a large number of the major metropolitan locations.
For almost all the smartphones you have got to select the $30 information plan, giving you unlimited data, and there is no extra cost for anyone who is running on 4G vs . 3G. A neat option should be to get WiFi hotspot, this $20 add-on permits you to connect up to nine devices, such as your mobile computer, to your phone's internet and that means you always have internet on the run. The flip side to using such quick browsing speeds is that your battery probably will not last you a lot more than two and half several hours of 4G use. This has raised a great deal of questions as to the functionality in the phone. However, on 3G you can get to get around ten hours of talk time. Which by all accounts is extremely reasonable. The reality is you'll probably have trouble getting throughout the day without recharging. For a high rate corporate individual this may not be the right phone available for you, but if you desire to dazzle your friends while using fastest internet speeds then this blog is for you.
You are likely to find the phone quick to control through apps and day-to-day use while using 1 GHz Snapdragon model, and Android 2. 2 (Froyo) operating-system. Unfortunately, the Thunderbolt does not ship while using latest Android version (Gingerbread, 2. 3). However, it is expected to have official upgrade sometime this summer, with unofficial version online for users which may have rooted their handset. Note, Android has blocked customers with rooted devices from with all the movie rental options. The phone ships together with 2. 5 MB of integrated memory and a 32 SDmicro card - plenty of room to store your pictures and videos.
To sum things way up, the Thunderbolt is Verizon's highest regarded phone. It is a superior option for you even if you don't have access to the 4G network as opposed to Droid X, merely because the user interface from HTC (Sence) has better functionality than Motorola's MotoBlur. If you are toying with the iPhone, don't. It does not possess the 4G connectivity, and nor will the particular iPhone 5, soon to be termed iPhone 4S. The Droid 2 may be an option to consider if you prefer having a physical keyboard (much improved keyboard through the original Droid). If not, stick with the Thunderbolt and hope the next generation smartphone's have better battery efficiencies.
