Online, April 10, 2011 (Newswire.com) - The HTC ThunderBolt is the first and only smart phone that can take full advantage of the Verizon 4G LTE network. Powered by the next generation 1GHz Qualcomm MSM8655 Snapdragon processor, with 768MB of RAM, the ThunderBolt can run multiple apps at the same time without lag. The phone boots up within seconds, allowing the user to connect to the network faster. Tested by many different companies, the Verizon 4G speeds on the ThunderBolt are some of the fastest from any smart phone. The web browsing experience supports Adobe Flash. The ThunderBolt is also the first Verizon Wireless phone that can support web browsing and phone conversations at the same time on both the 3G and 4G network. The ThunderBolt automatically switches to the 4G network when it detects availability.
The display on the HTC ThunderBolt is a fantasic 4.3 inch WVGA capacitive display with 480x800 pixel resolution. Text is extremely easy to read, graphics looks incredible with deep colors and crisp lines. Use the 8-megapixel camera with dual LCD flash and 720p HD video capture to capture your life and display these pictures and videos as well as watch movies and use the great music player with the built in kickstand on the back. The ThunderBolt also supports DNLA technology, so the user can easily stream to their HD TV. A few other smart phone features that are included are Bluetooth 2.1, Wi-Fi connectivity and Wi-Fi mobile hotspot with connectivity access to 8 devices, FM radio, Google Maps as well as other Google apps, and tethering. Included in the packaging with the phone is a preinstalled 32GB external memory card. Combined with the 8GB internal memory, 40GB of memory is plenty of room for pictures, videos, music, apps, and documents.
Although the ThunderBolt has an advertised battery life of 6.3 days with 3G usage and up to 15 days standby, many users will utilize battery draining apps and may easily be caught with a dead battery at an inopportune time. An external battery pack is highly recommended for any smart phone. Use the battery pack as a back-up power source for traveling, outdoor activities or day-to-day activities. These are easily charged with a wall outlet or a USB cord and hold enough power to completely recharge a dead battery with power left over. Many packs also come with a variety of charging adapters, making it compatible with many different devices. This is a fantastic accessory to keep the ThunderBolt running at all times. There are also many more charging options available.
There are many different ways to protect the ThunderBolt from scratches and bumps. Skins and cases are great ways to do this and also show off a little personality. Skins come in a huge variety of materials and colors, allowing users to find something that fits both their lifestyle and needs. Because skins are designed specifically for the ThunderBolt, all buttons and ports are open and available at all times. They are also thin, adding little bulk so the phone is still able to slip into a pocket, purse or bag. Cases are generally made from leather and offer a sophisticated and classy option to protecting the phone. They are full coverage protection, so the phone must be removed in order to use it.
