HTC Thunderbolt hands on video [UPDATED]

**Eazail70x7** · 01-28-2011, 04:52 PM

- [UPDATE] This video is now set to private, secondary link to this youtube clip is found in the quote below.

This guy works for HTC and is able to get phones early. He got the shift 4g early too. I think he may have been a little over zealous though when he said it was faster than the Bionic??

nice find! he put to sleep the no htcsense.com rumors by talking about it and it's functionality (and i'm guessing he knows that first hand).

and not only that, the UPC on the box at the beginning confirms the Best Buy inventory to be the TB on 2/14!

I wish I wouldn't have watched this, it just made me go even more crazy trying to wait for release

**FD2** · 01-28-2011, 05:10 PM

His review sold me. I'm getting one.

Over hyped. Bla Bla Bla even bionic can talk and surf 4g scores will be different they always have for htc. Nothing these aren't the.Droid your looking for. Move along

dooooooo want. were is the info on the bionic doing simultaneous voice data...when i search it it only shows were htc an verizon teamed up to make this possible on the thunderbolt

im gonna share this here an share with the original post. but the htcsense.com will not be work with this phone at launch.

Dear jordan,

Very good question, Jordan. I would be more than happy to provide you with a little more insight.

At this point in time, HTCSense is still undergoing further development and testing. We've run into major problems that will probably not be fixed before the Thunderbolt is released; this is why only two phones, thus far, have the necessary version of HTC Sense to work with the site. We feel that the site is not stable enough to handle the additional traffic. Due to this, the Thunderbolt most likely will not initially be able to interface with HTCSense.com -- Once the site is a little more stable and able to handle more traffic, and once we've worked the bugs out of it, we'll be looking to expand the list of phones that will work with the site. As the Thunderbolt is going to be among the first of Verizon's 4G phones, I can only guess that this phone eventually would be made compatible -- however, this is something that is left up to Verizon. We would be more than happy to forward this suggestion to the people at Verizon, so that they know that people looking forward to the Thunderbolt would like to be able to use HTCSync.com.

Thank you for taking the time to contact us

Looks like someone got a little post happy on YouTube

**The_Engine** · 01-28-2011, 07:26 PM

From what I am hearing there are some issues with the TB that may not be resolved at launch. I was just told to hood off on this one and wait a bit to see when these issues bet fixed. Very buggy. I hope this gets fixed before launch and is not a sign of issues with the LTE radios.

The video isn't in my history, so I can't even see if it'd come up that way. Weird.
