Verizon gets official with HTC Thunderbolt

Verizon's really come out swinging with all the LTE handests it's introduced, and one that really stands out is the HTC Thunderbolt. It's got a 4.3 inch WVGA screen, 8MP camera and front-facing camera with Skype integrated, DLNA support and a 1 GHZ Snapdragon processor. Oh yeah, did we mention that it's LTE capable? If you were worried Verizon wouldn't have many options for LTE handsets anytime soon, worry no more my friend.

HTC intros new Sense

HTC and Sense have always gone hand in hand, and it's been a good way for HTC to differentiate their products, now HTC is making Sense a little more valuable by adding some new features. The new Sense will boot up faster, will have DLNA support, and maps will cache data to make rendering faster. Perhaps the best new feature is the launch of htcsense.com, which will be a website that will allow you to bakcup and view text messages, locate your phone and wipe the device if it's lost or stolen, similar to what Apple offers with MobileMe. Look for HTC to plaster the new Sense on everything they sell in the near future.

T-Mobile gives some new details on the G2

T-Mobile spilled the beans on the G2 today, and it all lines up with what we've heard before. The G2 will feature a 3.7" touchscreen and a slide-out QWERTY keyboard, will ship with vanilla Android 2.2 which includes Flash support, and most importantly will be the carriers first HSPA+ phone. The processor is confirmed to be 800MHz, but it is Qualcomm's MSM7230, which puts some of the load on the GPU so it actually performs better graphically than some faster chips like a 1MHz Snapdragon.

No official word on pricing, but all signs point to $199 with a two-year contract and $499 with no contract. Current T-Mobile customers will be able to preorder the G2 later this month.

A new, unnamed HTC phone headed to Verizon

Boy Genius Report has outed these pics of an unnamed HTC phone that is headed for Verizon. It's said to be about the size of an HTC EVO, with similar looks to a Nexus One. It's also got a very upscale look to it, with a brushed aluminum kickstand on the back, and a very thin bezel on the front. Plus, it's got an 8MP camera with a dual LED flash. Snazzy. More pics after the break.
