HTC Thunderbolt is more Convenient than its Design and Appeal

By Gareth Jale


The Thunderbolt goes a step ahead of the Inspire to have an improved and crispy display that offers a broad viewing angle and the latest Qualcomm Snapdragon processor, even though it is single-core. And, it takes the cool integrated kickstand, and additional 4G radio from the EVO 4G. The combination of the two Smart phone features and improvement over them makes the smart phone within the case a best of both the worlds. In place of the WiMAX in the Sprint, for the 4G radio, it relies on the LTE network of Verizon that is far fresher.

The Smart phone has many other additional features including Dolby Surround Sound, DLNA, GPS, built-in-kickstand, a microSD card slot with a card of 32 GB memory, and 3.5mm audio jack. Android 2.2 powers this Smart phone along with the Sense UI from HTC. The interface functions are very fast and easy to use. The interface offers the standard choice of superb screen widgets and integration of social network. You can find many instant shortcuts offered by Sense that can be used on the home screen to instantly personalize the Smart phone. The Sense UI has been integrated with the Skype Mobile so as to allow video chat.

The interface of the 8-MP shooter is decent, with appealing on-screen controls along with face detection and touch focus. The dual LED flash is highly beneficial for using in dark scenes. The 8 MP camera is positioned on the rear of the Smart phone and it has a 720 pixel HD video recording capability. The HTC Thunderbolt also has a front camera that is positioned for video calling. This smart phone is neither excessively small, nor thin or light. While it is thick as compared to the Inspire 4G, it is small as compared to the LG Revolution. It is the larger battery size of the Thunderbolt that makes it larger as compared to the Inspire. Additional features that contribute to its size include the kickstand, large speaker and the front-facing camera. It seems that LTE requires a large-sized battery to operate because all the major 4 LTE phones have the same attribute - a larger battery.

On the looks, The LCD display under the screen protector looks pleasant. The touch keys found below the screen simply beat the traditional physical keys. The volume and power keys also work efficiently. The camera key is not to be found, but you can use the front camera in order to take a portrait without turning the phone.

It features a chic, formal and refined design, and it appears and feels awfully solid. There is metal on the body, but the finish is soft to touch on the back. The phone's rounded sides feel highly relaxed on the hand and compensate for the large size of the phone. Check for additional accessories to get a grander experience out of your smart phone.
