We've got word from Verizon Wireless that the top product customers are buying, when they activate a new service agreement, is the HTC ThunderBolt. After the announcement of AT&T buying T-Mobile, Verizon has been heavily promoting its products and services, offering deals like 30% off select smartphones.
It seems that Verizon has a product and service with the HTC ThunderBolt that is giving buyers a reason to switch carriers or start anew with Verizon. Wirefly had record presales of the HTC ThunderBolt - more than any other device. Reviews have been excellent, while the fast data-speed dose drains the battery.
Here are the top five reasons why we think the HTC ThunderBolt is such a big success and got such good reviews:
1. Fastest Data Speed Around - There have been reports that the HTC
THunderBolt data speeds are faster than a home-wired internet connection
via cable or DSL. One reviewer got a whopping 24 mps download and 2.17
mps for uploading files. Now that is blazing lightning fast. That's surely fast enough to share Wi-Fi hotspots with your friends, which are free until May 15.
2. Really Big Screen - According to NPD Group, phones with screens
smaller than 4" have remained steady, while smartphones with larger
screens have grabbed market shares from the smaller screen phones.
3. Front & Rear Cameras - The camera on the HTC ThunderBolt takes great photos and lets you apply live effects in the viewfinder before taking a picture.
4. Browser Supports Flash - The browser supports Flash 10.1 for viewing websites more like a PC-View.
5. Kick Stand - Big, fast motorocycles have kickstands and, because the
HTC ThunderBolt kicks data, the kickstand is a favorite for video viewers
and friend stream watchers.
