iPhone 4 vs. HTC ThunderBolt – Hardware, Specs, Pricing, Design (Video)

By on March 23, 2011 in Comparisons, Phones

HTC’s ThunderBolt is Verizon’s first 4G LTE smartphone. It’s one big, bad mamajama. 4.3-inch display, 8MP camera on the back, 1.3MP camera up front. CDMA, LTE and Wi-Fi connectivity. Android 2.2 with HTC Sense. Kickstand! Can it compete with iPhone 4? Does it blow iPhone away? Noah takes a look.

What you’re watching here is part one of a two-part video. Part one covers overall design, including hardware specs, size, pricing, and general thoughts on how the two devices look and feel. Part two will get into using the phones, including a brief look at Android + Sense vs iOS, and a very unscientific speed test by way of Web rendering. Stay tuned …

Meantime, anyone out there have a ThunderBolt yet? How’re you liking it?
