HTC Thunderbolt Official Specs

[scififan2715]

I agree that it has the new snapdragon, but I believe it's clicked at 1.2 Ghz, based on some leaks a few months ago about the 3g version. I couldn't imagine they would change that.

Looking forward to this device. Seems like an evo "beefed up" if you will.

This device seems no different than the Evo, except it will have LTE instead of Wimax. I wish that this phone had a newer processor, better screen specs, more ram, memory, etc, since it's coming out much later than the Evo.

A desire hd with lte doesn't seem like much of an upgrade spec wise coming from the x. I was hoping for dual core proc and a higher res screen but it seems like it will launch with the same 800 x 480. Who knows, maybe htc will surprise us.

Why trade my current Incredible for the same processor speed and camera? I just don't see the reason to do so. I bet in Q2 they will up the speed and get a better camera....so I shall wait since my current Dinc in great for me so far.

More ram internal memory new sense better processor even if its not dualcore the msm8655 is not a slouch yeah a higher Res screen would be nice but VZW and HTC are cheap and probably pulled the plug on that it seems to be a nice upgrade to me.

I would def say its not a evo clone.. call it a evo... evolved if u will... faster proc.. better designed body (no cam hump) and new sense.. much better gpu and muuch more refined. Least in my book it doesn't sound like a clone.. maybe Evo2?

Faster processor? Question is...how fast? and how fast compared to the Motorola's dual core?

From what we've seen so far, this looks like the best option of the three rumored lte devices (thunderbolt, etna, sammy) in my opinion. Moto will most likely lock down their unit and sammy will release with 2.2 and forget it.

i love HTC phones' software out of the 3 main smartphone makers. Moto's phones have the clunky motoblur and samsung has the touchwiz UI which is not a good experience.

It looks like the best, although it has older hardware? That's interesting. And you are worried about Moto locking down the unit? It was said that Moto locked down the Droid X as well, but here we have rooted Droid X's with themes galore. I do prefer HTC Sense, but I just want to know how the processor and GPU compares to that of the upcoming Moto. Rumors suggest that the Motorola will have the more advanced hardware.

 

[Johnly]

The next Moto is duel core right? I think the X is also better equipped than the EVO hardware wise. I don't know, but T2 processors should be nice once devs implement them. I think the new SOC the DOLT has will be the "new fast" for awhile though.

I havent owned an htc yet but I really dislike blur and touchwiz. I'd choose the htc since it will probably receive the most attention from the dev community (CM 7 and beyond!!!)

Best option for me, maybe not so much the best spec wise. Sure x is rooted with themes and custom roms and I've tried a lot of them. It is still not hacker/developer friendly and I would like something that is.

i have briefly used sense many times and it is the most user friendly, fun, and easy to use UI I have seen on a smartphone to date.

Dude, Launcher Pro Plus! Better than all of them, and it makes sense look choppy. The HTC dock is pretty awful, and LLP will give you a REAL dock. My opinion : )

 

[murdermitten]

Its going to have the "new" snapdragon that is in the G2 and MT4G more than likely, and probably clocked a little higher.

That chip is a beast, and once there are OC kernels, this thing will hit 2.0Ghz.

They got the G2 to hit that, I'm sure this will go higher.

If they announce 4G for Metro Detroit, I'm buying day one.

Yeah I'm already a launcher pro plus user on my x and love it. I prefer stock android and dislike most of them but if I had to choose, it'd be sense.

The "new" snapdragon processor. Is it faster than 1.2Ghz? Does it have a faster GPU than the Motorola X's and Samsung's Hummingbird? I'd expect all of these things from a newer device.

I see. I guess I'm just pissed because I much prefer HTC devices, but HTC doesn't try to have the advanced tech that I want too. Still a wait and see for full official spec info though.
