Now this is the phone I want.

It’s purportedly the HTC 4G “Thunderbolt” that Verizon will show off at CES next week, according to a nice scooper in Droid Life. The piece carried 12 photos of the new device, but not many details except that it’ll have a dual processor. Assuming it’s the same phone as the HTC Desire HD, which the Droid Life story suggests, you can find out more at HTC’s site.

As readers of The Dodge Retort know, I’ve been holding off upgrading to a 3G phone because I want to go 4G. The rub is I am still a couple of towns away from 4G reception. Guess I’ll have to move.

I received my IPhone on 2/7/11 and also been debating if I want to open the box for the same reason – I want the HTC Thunderbolt. I didn’t know how soon it was being released. I was impressed with it, but I haven’t compared the 2. Any comments from others would be helpful in my decision. Appreciate all comments.

Yes, I’m abut 100 miles from coverage. Looks like it is already in Miami and Tampa.
