The 2011 Consumer Electronics Show might as well have been called the 4G show, with many smartphone manufacturers unveiling new 4G smartphones. The HTC Thunderbolt is HTC's entrance onto Verizon's 4G LTE network. The HTC Thunderbolt is supposedly the phone that Verizon believes people have been "dreaming" about. That's quite a bit to live up to and puts quite a lot of pressure on the HTC Thunderbolt.
For those familiar with the HTC Desire HD, the HTC Thunderbolt should look very familiar. In fact, it'd be safe to say that the 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.
Starting off the HTC Thunderbolt has a 4.3 inch WVGA TFT capacitive touchscreen display covering the front of the phone. Below the display are the usual set of Android shortcuts for menu, home, back and search. Up above is a small 1.3 inch megapixel front facing camera used for video chatting. Placed on the right is the volume rocker, opposite resides the microUSB, and on top the 3.5 mm headphone jack and power / lock button. The HTC Thunderbolt is rounded out on the back with an 8 megapixel camera and dual LED flash. Underneath, the camera on the back, is a small kickstand that can be lifted up from the back. It's nicely designed and adds functionality to the HTC Thunderbolt.
The 4.3 inch display is decent and the viewing angle is fairly wide, however, compared to the likes of the Samsung Continuum on Verizon's network, which utilizes Super AMOLED technology, it is a bit lacking. Also, with the likes of the iPhone and the soon to be released Motorola Droid Bionic on Verizon's network, one has to wonder how well the HTC Thunderbolt will take off.
The HTC Thunderbolt comes with a 1 GHz Snapdragon processor and comes preloaded with Android 2.2 and HTC Sense. This is really no different than many of the other HTC, Motorola, and Samsung powered smartphones currently released. The recently announced Motorola Droid Bionic features a dual core processor, however, it showed signs of lag. The HTC Thunderbolt, with its single processor actually seemed to perform better. No noticeable lag and everything seemed to run without a hitch, including Adobe Flash.
The HTC Thunderbolt also comes with 8 GB of onboard storage, along with an expandable microSD slot. You can grab a 32 GB microSD and really expand the storage of the HTC Thunderbolt. One of the problems with Windows Phone 7 handsets, such as the HTC Surround 7, is that they don't have expandable microSD slots. It seems the freedom of Android powered handsets has given them the edge in storage space.
The HTC Thunderbolt, like all other Android powered handsets, is very easy to pick up and use. The touch interface is not daunting and as it is touch, very easy to understand. HTC Sense is a third party proprietary overlay made by HTC to enhance the user experience for Android. Similar to Motorola's MotoBLUR and Samsung's TouchWiz UI, the HTC Sense UI is a nice addition, but ultimately hurts the end user as these third party overlays delay over the air updates of the latest and greatest version of Android.
