HTC Thunderbolt � expected to be Verizon�s first 4G LTE device � was supposed to make its debut at the upcoming 2011 International CES trade show, but now it appears not-ready-for-prime time photos have leaked of the device.
Droid Life has posted a dozen photos of the HTC Thunderbolt. Should they be real, the device looks like your run-of-the-mill, cutting-edge HTC smart phone with grand display and Verizon branding. But Google branding is there too, near the always helpful built-in kick stand that comes standard with the Thunderbolt. (Take note other smart phone makers, built-in kick stands make sense.)
As carriers like Verizon, Sprint, T-Mobile and AT&T continue churn out still-expanding 4G (or 4G-like) networks, consumers are clanging for new devices that take advantage of the super fast data speeds that come with the networks.
Expect similar experience when streaming and download videos as you get from your home paid TV service. Actually, expect a time soon when such devices and data services are in everyone�s pocket or purse - and everyone is clanging for 5G. Welcome HTC Thunderbolt.
