The HTC Thunderbolt, the LTE successor to the Droid Incredible, is expected to be announced January 6 at CES. Formerly rumored to be called the HTC Droid Incredible HD, we have rounded up the latest rumors and speculations of one of the first LTE Verizon smartphones, now referred to as HTC Thunderbolt.
Some believe that the HTC Thunderbolt has shown up in the Verizon inventory system as the ADR6400. Other bloggers contend that the HTC Thunderbolt may have 1.2GHz dual-core processor, 16GB storage onboard, microSD expandable, Android 2.2, 4.3-inch touchscreen, 8MP rear-facing camera, Wi-Fi, and Bluetooth. The specs are much closer to the HTC EVO 4G than the Droid Incredible. Both smartphones were named in the Wireless and Mobile News' Top Ten Best Coolest Smartphones Review of Reviews.
