Say Hello to the HTC Thunderbolt

Say hello to the HTC Thunderbolt, which will be the first 4G LTE device to land on Verizon after its unveiling next week at CES.  As you can see, it really just looks exactly like the Desire HD, but has Verizon branding and will be 4G capable which means it’ll be amazing.  We’re assuming it won’t have  a dual-core processor which most of you decided was critically important, but after seeing it, have you changed your mind?

So, that lovely 4.3-inch LTE  smartphone with Android for Verizon we've been calling the Mecha and the Droid Incredible HD? Looks like it might come to market as the Thunderbolt. We tend to put some weight on the rumor considering that they've just run twelve leaked shots of the thing. As you can see, this is clearly Verizon's head-on answer to the EVO 4G, featuring similar stylings and, in all likelihood, an LTE modem swapped in for the EVO's WiMAX one.
We should point out that there is a surprise behind the kickstand and Google branding which we’re hoping means no Bing.  Hello Droid Thunderbolt? Will the first device it shows off be the HTC Thunderbolt?

Sure looks like that "controlled" leak from a few days back, doesn't it? More on this at Verizon's press conference next week, we presume. Hello Droid Thunderbolt? Photos of the HTC Thunderbolt, the first LTE phone to land on Verizon, have been leaked ahead of CES.
