Thunderbolt Specs: a look at what's inside (1.2 GHz Dual-core)

This will be awesome if this link holds true

**Smitty_82** · 12-30-2010, 07:56 PM

Wow, that would be great if it pans out eventually. Don't think we will see these specs for a Jan drop, but we'll see what CES holds for us.

**joshjelden** · 12-30-2010, 08:00 PM

well crap...that bubble was burst really quick with this:
Update:
Well, we hate to burst your bubble, but MobileTechWorld has pointed out that the beefy MSM8960 chip these specs report the Thunderbolt as running won't be a possibility at the time the phone would likely start shipping. The availability of the MSM8960 to hardware designers won't even begin until next year, meaning it should be much later before we see it in any phones. And if that's wrong, who knows about the rest of these Thunderbolt details?

**RUSH** · 12-30-2010, 08:13 PM

Ces, the proof is in the pudding. Before I get my hopes up - I'll just remain calm for now.

**Smitty_82** · 12-30-2010, 08:27 PM

I talked to Verizon tech support the other day, and she said that there ARE LTE phones coming in Jan. We shall see. I'm happy with my DX for now. I am willing to wait for a bit.

i hope for purchase i need a new phone. Well not need but want lol.

These specs are nice even if they are not as high as they say this should still be a good phone

**Droid hungry** · 12-30-2010, 10:07 PM

Sounds too good to be true. as much as i want it to be i dont think i can believe it till i see it. I almost wish i didnt see that post now i will be hoping for too much from one phone

**Comineeyeaha** · 12-30-2010, 10:18 PM

I think I saw these specs over in the Dream Phone thread.

**thebizz** · 12-30-2010, 10:48 PM

I don't see the 8960 maybe 8655 or 8660
And that front camera is small for a 5mp shooter

**menschmaschine5** · 12-30-2010, 11:09 PM

What really got me calling the specs fake are Gingerbread (HTC wasn't nearly this fast with Froyo...) and the 5mp ff camera.

**JkdJedi** · 12-30-2010, 11:54 PM

This phone looks promising, you think the Evo here, oops..I meant the Thunderbolt here will have some battery issues similar to his cousin the Incredible?

**BlackPrince310** · 12-31-2010, 12:44 AM

My brain nearly exploded when I saw these specs. They are possibly, but not this early. I wasn't expecting the 3rd Gen Snapdragons until Q2 atleast, I'm not too sure I believe this 100% yet. However, if these specs are true, I will switch to Verizon without hesitation.

I'm really loving my MT4G too.

**bigk** · 12-31-2010, 12:59 AM

I was thinking after reading this on the front page......

Remember this picture from a while back?

Is that REALLY a speaker grill or is that a vent for the duel core processor to breath out of?

Just throwing that out there...

**thebizz** · 12-31-2010, 01:19 AM

it could be a vent but who knows would be nice if this were equipped with a dual core but i doubt it guess we will see next week

**Comineeyeaha** · 12-31-2010, 09:28 AM

I can't imagine a vent like that on a phone would be a good idea. Think about how much dust and pocket lint would get in there!

**DreamSTi** · 12-31-2010, 09:52 AM

Where is black man x to deny or confirm these rumors??????

**experiment 626** · 12-31-2010, 10:23 AM

I can't see that screen being a vent,especially with the kickstand blocking it closed most of the time. These specs sound more like a "wish list" than the DOLT's actual design.I'm realistically expecting an improved EVO,which will make me happy enough.

**Stagger0** · 12-31-2010, 10:56 AM

If this thing does have a 1.2 GHz DC cpu, and a 5mp front facing camera, wouldn't that be in line with the specs released for the HTC Scorpion this summer?

**thebizz** · 12-31-2010, 11:19 AM

Yes it would though the scorpion used the second Gen snapdragon it was originally clocked at 1.2

**biff6789** · 12-31-2010, 12:17 PM

Think of the amount of bandwidth a 5mp/720p front-facing camera would hog over video chat. You'd use up your 5 gigs of data in a heartbeat

This is actually one spec I hope DOESN'T happen
