The release date for the much anticipated HTC Thunderbolt on Verizon is finally upon us and pre-orders are currently being taken with standard sales beginning February 24th. Regularly priced at $749.99 at Best Buy, it can be purchased for as low as $250 with a two year contract with Verizon (the standard with smartphones these days).
So I started looking at the Thunderbolt and it struck me as the same as my HTC Evo minus the different carrier. So here are the specifications between the two phones:
- Both: digital compass
- Both: Android operating system
- Both: micro USB
- Both: dual-LED flash
- Both: still image resolution of 3264×2448
- Both: 720p video
- Both: 4.3″ screen
- Both: 480 x 800 pixel
- Both: 8mpx rear cam, 1.3mpx front cam
- Both: up to 32GB
- Both: microSD
- Both: bluetooth
- Both: MP3, WAV ringtones
- Both: flip stand in back
- Thunderbolt: LTE
- Thunderbolt: CDMA
- Thunderbolt: 16M colors
- EVO: 65k colors
- EVO: Rev. A up to 3.1mbps
- EVO: HDMI port
There aren’t very many differences between the two phones besides the carrier, the way the flip stand looks, price, the colors and HDMI port capability, so as EVO fans, we say hooray for Verizon’s new Thunderbolt.
