Verizon’s HTC Thunderbolt Now Officially On Sale – Are You Buying?

The HTC Thunderbolt is now available for purchase – buy it from Amazon for $179 or from Verizon for $249 (link coming soon)! After two months of waiting and grinding our teeth until we have none, Verizon has launched their very first 4G LTE smartphone. You can grab it from Verizon for $249.99 after a two-year contract. You can also find a great deal at Amazon for $179.99. If you decide to get it through Best Buy you may need to pay about $50 more.

For the latest discussion, tips, tricks, and tutorials you’ll want to visit our HTC Thunderbolt Forum where the conversation has already started. Some threads that are already popular include:

We’re sure it’ll also transform into a very helpful support repository once more of our eager members get the device in their hands. We’ve already learned that CyanogenMod will be supported thanks to the section dedicated to HTC Thunderbolt Root.

Expect to be able to pick some accessories up alongside the thing, such as a multimedia dock or a 2750mAh extended battery. We leaked the first known accessories for the device a couple of days ago. Verizon’s sure to have more of the usual – cases, holsters, screen protectors, etc. – at their site, so be sure to take a look around there.

Verizon’s launching the phone with the same $30 unlimited data plan that current customers already get, whether you’re on 3G or 4G. You might want to make sure you’re locked into the plan now as Verizon has expressed plans to get rid of it sometime in the future. (Grandfather clauses have yet to be revealed.)

And why not stop back here and let us know how the device is? We’re always eager to hear our users’ opinions, especially on new devices. If you’re electing not to get it, let us know why not – I’m sure those who are on the fence will be looking for the pros and cons so they can make informed decisions before taking the plunge. Once you’ve really made your mind up, you should head on over to our Best Phones section and rate it: is it an average joe that deserves three stars or is it a knock-out punch from Verizon that deserves five? Let the world know!
