Thunderbolt size comparisons - pics

[URPREY]

Like everyone else here, I'm anxiously awaiting the Thunderbolt release. I got to play around with a pre-production Thunderbolt at CES last month during a meeting with HTC. It's a fantastic device. Build quality was very similar to my Nexus One, and I took some pictures comparing it to the various Android phones we had with us. Click the pictures for larger versions.

Hope this helps with your wait!

How does it compare in size and weight to the Fascinate?

 

[URPREY]

I didn't have one side by side there, but it definitely felt a little heavier than my Nexus S, and the NS was a little taller. The TB is thicker (I assume because of the LTE radio) but felt really good in the hand. Pretty comparable to the EVO in size

HTC didn't have an exhibit, but they did have a small conference room where they were showing their new devices. It was an invite-only/scheduled meeting and I was there with my blog.

This was the same place where Phil and everyone else was shooting pics and video of the TB and the other new HTC devices

Hey UPREY

Does it have a notification light on the front?

Correct. Top left of the speaker grille

 

[URPREY]

I didnt want a cheap feeling plastic junk.

I loved my Nexus S but it felt cheap and plasticky. The TB feels solid like the N1. HTC has great build quality, and the kickstand mechanism felt very sturdy.
