AndroidSPIN ? Exclusive: Hands on with the HTC Thunderbolt 4G
IDK if I trust this actual hands on, it ships with 2.1, doubt it the evo, dinc, mytouch4G, G2 all have froyo.
an btw that quadrant just garbage on eclair

hey can i ask u something real wuick. as far as the quadrant test goes....what kinda numbers would be normal?....im just wondering...thanks man
Well if those specs are correct, its not looking so good...But it hasnt even been released so who knows if theyre true. It could be a test/dummy model. Things are never complete until final production. I dont think they would release 2.1 on a new phone like that.
The nexus goes up to 3500 the mytouch 4g goes higher then that. In other words my grandma can have a higher score

You sure? The comments on the article suggest that the same question was asked to the "source" (i.e., whether it was a typo, meaning 2.2.1 and not 2.1.2), and it was not changed?
I thought it was suppose to have 2.3. That would be a big typo. I can see confusing 2.2.1 with 2.1.2.....but not a 3.
another reason to doubt this article, HTC does have a history of really great phones some not spectacular, but for the price and what ya get its still really good, so Why would a company like HTC showcase a less than spec phone.
plus as I noted before, those quadrant scores are pretty awesome for a phone with those specs fresh outta tha box, Id be likely to believe those from a rooted phone or one that is showcase worthy
now the Optimus Black is what you hold down for ces also Motorola's dual-core Atrix 4G

Just got this email from a friend about this article and thought I would copy/paste it here as food for thought:

"If this ends up being true, then this phone is basically an American version of the new European Desire HD -- which, if you guys have read recent reviews, IS NOT A BAD PHONE!!
A phone like this with a 1 gig proc and 768 megs RAM that can hit a quadrant of 2,000 out of the box (without using the I/O tweak) is NOT a low-end crappy device. And the only real complaint with the Desire HD is that it has junk battery life - something this phone will be able to get around since the T-bolt can expand for an extended battery while the Desire HD cannot. This phone has way better specs than the EVO - a phone that owners say is still the best 4G phone in America. You guys have gotten spoiled
Look, we're all avid followers of the tech community. You guys all know that there's always something bigger, faster, and better on the horizon with technology. Your expectations were too high; you guys expected a late-2011 model, today. And before you guys mention that other phones will have dual-core procs, keep in mind that those phones still aren't expected to drop for another 6 months (so don't compare apples with oranges). And by the time those phones drop in the summer, there will be an even better phone on the horizon and you guys will want THAT one immediately.
At some point with tech you just have to jump in, knowing full well that there's something better already being cooked up just around the corner. If you guys wanna wait for dual core and a higher res screen, then wait. Meanwhile, I'll pick this guy up when it drops shortly after CES and enjoy the highest-end android device any American carrier has ever offered"

Not trying to start a flame war. Just trying to play devil's advocate and offer food for thought from the other perspective. What are your thoughts?

im just saying htc was holding this phone down for what ? the atrix dual core, lg dual core those are phones you release for ces.
thats his opinion, i like showing off my phone and what it can do and what it has. describing this phone is like describing an evo. im just saying htc just let me down by holding this phone down for ces ... but you never know they might have something else
I don't really trust that source. It could be true, but I'm not 100% sold that it is (especially since it says "android 2.1.2" - typo or not). I'd really wait until HTC officially announces the phone before dismissing the phone. Take these specs with a grain of salt (although many have guessed that the TB would basically be the Desire HD, just as the Dinc was basically the Desire).
Those specs really aren't bad, especially if the phone is coming out this month. Yes, we will probably see some dual core devices at CES, but those won't be released until much later in the year. I was hoping for a 1.2 ghz processor, but oh well.
No one said that except the specs posted on some European site (which was pure fantasy, they probably won't be possible until summer-ish). There was a very slim chance that it would ship with Gingerbread.
