HTC Thunderbolt To Be Launched By Verizon at CES 2011
By
HTC is getting ready to unveil Verizon’s first 4G smartphone running on the brand-new LTE network and rumor has it that the phone will be announced on January 6th during the companies CES 2011 press conference.
Previously known by other code names (Mecha and Droid Incredible HD), the Thunderbolt will be the third 4G “first” from the manufacturer, following the Evo 4G (Sprint’s first 4G phone) and the G2 (T-Mobile’s first 4G handset). The Thunderbolt moniker makes sense as it conjures up imagery of Verizon’s recent 4G LTE commercials, which show a guy harnessing a lightning bolt much like Zeus would. What’s more, it would fall right in line with the carrier’s new “Rule the Air” campaign.
