Is the HTC ThunderBolt less impressive than anticipated?


Day one of CES will soon be coming to a close and we've already been introduced to countless Android phones and tablets, some of which were a complete surprise. We knew the big ticket item of this year's show would be Android and 4G, but we also expected it to mainly be a handful of tablets making debuts, not many phones.

One device that wasn't a surprise though, was the HTC ThunderBolt. We weren't exactly sure of the official name and many of its specifications, but we knew it would be announced at some point, thanks to HTC's hints and tips. Earlier today, those specifications were given to us at the massive, Verizon LTE event. There was a lot of hype about the ThunderBolt and what it would mean for Android prior to this week, but now that it has been announced, I would have to say that it's quite a letdown.

We've been introduced to nearly 15 phones thus far, and of those phones – in terms of specs alone – the ThunderBolt is one of the least impressive devices yet. The rumors had us thinking that it would have a Tegra 2 dual-core processor, but just a few hours ago, we learned that it actually just has a 1 GHz Snapdragon. While a Snapdragon processor isn't bad at all, the competition is bringing the heat with dual-core processors, leaving this baby in the dust.
