With hundreds of Amazon and Verizon phones available at prices ranging from less than $100 to several hundred dollars, choosing the ThunderBolt for a grand total of $149.99 after a $100 rebate would make sense 6 months ago.  In fact, another wireless store Wirefly was selling the HTC ThunderBolt for $175 but still requires a two-year.  Your purchase today includes free shipping.

Many verizon android customers emailed us and loves our prices because they want to jump on the offer because there is a rumor going around that  Verizon is planning to drop unlimited 4G data tomorrow. Instead of unlimited data, Verizon will apparently set a cap and offer up a 5GB plan LTE data plan for $50 a month.

It was expensive to buy the HTC Thunderbolt at  Amazon and Verizon a few months ago.

Pros:

"The screen is fantastic; the dimensions of this phone are perfect. Almost a tablet it's so big. 4G speeds (wow!). Sense UI is buttery smooth. Camera. Android O/S

I had the Droid X, and the Samsung Fascinate, and while the Droid X screen is 4.3", it's not as wide as the Evo so I don't see any advantage to owning the X. To me, the dimensions of the Thunderbolt and Evo offer a perfect combination of dimensions to allow net surfing, watching videos, reading ebooks, etc. It's almost like a tablet.





This is a great phone; with a few tweaks and better attention to build quality, HTC can rule the roost.





Also, dual core PHONES? I understand the reasoning, but it's a future based reasoning. I do not need a dual core phone, what I want is speed in internet access. If everything is going cloud-based, the processing is not done on the phone, but virtually.





I want 4G access, and wouldn't notice a difference in dual core processing vs. single core as an average user.

Is it worth pulling the trigger and getting a Thunderbolt or waiting for the Motorola Bionic? I'm a big fan of HTC & Sense, so for me the question was an easy answer. If you have an Incredible and really like it, I'd say you should go for the Thunderbolt. If HTC and Sense aren't as important to you, but you live in an area that already has LTE you may want to start taking advantage of that too, it's like night and day!

The 720p video was remarkably free of artifacts or distortion -- it doesn't do continuous autofocus, but you can refocus on the fly with a tap on the screen. Likewise, sound quality was quite good; we were surprised at how clearly our voice cut through the ambient noise when narrating."
