HTC Thunderbolt Official Specs

[JeromeTurner5]

Do we know if this will have HDMI out like the EVO and droid x?

 

[RHChan84]

Has anyone figured out the missing physical camera button? I actually liked that, and the speed it took photos on my mom's dinc. Hopefully with a touch screen button for the camera it will be just as quick.

This should stand to be a nice upgrade from the D1 I have now

That is one thing I do see missing on a lot of HTC phones. I like the physical camera button to just hit/hold to launch the camera.

i love the physical camera key. it has been missing from a lot of recent phones.

I know the specs on the phone have not been released yet. I was wondering if the Thunderbolt will have a micro sim card for people who travel overseas? When I spoke to someone from Verizon the person mentioned that the 4G phones will have a micro sim card. The person I spoke to could be wrong though.

there is no indication of the thunderbolt being a world phone. there are no 4G networks overseas though

Their is a lte network in Sweden that blows away Verizon's but I don't think they run on the same bands

I never heard of the DOLT being a World Phone(w/GSM bands).If there's any type of "SIM card" I would guess it's connected with it's LTE capabilities.

I was looking forward to this phone being world capable. I might still get one but I will have to wait until CES to see if they have any phones in Verizon's upcoming lineup that has the same features as the DOLT but I can use overseas.

Just because a phone has a SIM card does not mean it's a world phone. It needs to have the radio bands for that.

I think USA is on GSM 850/1900 and rest of the world is using 900/1800. LTE is on 700 for VZW.

There were pictures of VZW/LTE/4G SIM cards floating around. I think LTE may use a SIM card. It may also have world capability with 3G GSM for VZW overseas. I wonder if there would need to be two SIM slots one for 3G GSM and one for 4G LTE.

There are 4G networks overseas, but I don't think they are mainstream. There is one for the Shanghai bullet train that somehow manages to complete cell tower transfer for passengers traveling over 200mph!

Thank you Droid-Life

I also think ATT has a 1950 band.

I'm not certain on this aspect, but I seem to remember that LTE user equipment must be able to communicate on all LTE defined bands. I don't know how they are supposed to handle currently undefined bands like FDD band 12 and 13, but I was under the impression for quite a while that the global roaming problem was going to have a solution in LTE. Naturally that makes radio and antenna design more complicated for the UE.

I do remember discussion of how UE radios would have to determine if they were in a TDD or FDD environment as some of the defined bands overlapped.

I would assume that LTE will be available for the US and eventually the World. But I think as of right now, just the US.

There are already two LTE provider in scandinavia, but what I meant was that unlike the various HSPA systems, LTE makes it mandatory (i thought I'd read anyway) that all user equipment is able to communicate on all defined (TDD and FDD both) bands.

Bump

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.

i live in detroit and they have 4g... except in downtown because it interfers with some canadian towers or some bs.. but i use a 4g data card at my house in metro detroit and it works great!

it's very strange because verizon's coverage map says they have 4G LTE coverage everywhere around detroit except metro detroit.

 

[thebizz]

Yep because it messes with something with Canada don't know if its cellular or other
