That's not the point.The build looks and feels solid.
Ok, sorry.
HTC Thunderbolt Take Apart Repair Guide
Here is a teardown, in which he writes "pry the LCD screen from the metal frame".
You can see that there is just a skeleton frame and does not include the battery cover. I think that part is metal, but I would not call that a unibody.
In thought you didn't care!Well, I'll be watching this thread. Now I want an answer!
Well I would have preferred aluminum, even tho it would have made it even heavier.I guess that's good. The phone is heavy enough.
I've heard this several times but have never seen definitive proof. Not saying you are wrong, but do you have an official link of some kind?The confusion arises from the fact that there is actually an internal "skeleton" on the Thunderbolt which is metal, to which everything is mounted. You never see or touch the "metal frame" unless you dis-assemble the device. All exterior body pieces (excluding kickstand, speaker grille, etc.) are plastic.

As it stands, HTC does not in anyway tout this device as ANY kind of aluminum unibody.
