HTC Thunderbolt Free On Verizon With 2-Year Contract

The HTC Thunderbolt is free on Verizon if you get a contract with them, making it a good option for those looking for a 4G LTE without the high price tage associated with it. The Thunderbolt may not be at the top of your wishlist when it comes to specs but with Verizon offering it for free if you stay with them for two years, you might want to take a second look.

While most smartphones today have a dual-core processor, the Thunderbolt only comes with a 1 GHz Snapdragon chip. Still good enough, just that it’s no longer at par with high-end phones nowadays. The phone also comes with an 8-megapixel camera and an 800 x 480-pixel resolution.

It’s evident you don’t get the best out there specs-wise with the Android-powered Thunderbolt, given that it was last year’s model but those who are not after having the latest will surely find it a very capable device. You’ve got until January 26 to make up your mind as Verizon is offering it until that day.

HTC Ville details leaked

It looks like the HTC Edge isn't the only HTC superphone on the horizon. BGR has learned that there will also be a device codenamed the HTC Ville which will launch with Sense 4.0 as well as Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich.

Because the Ville will be launching with ICS, that means no physical function buttons, just a nice clean face for those virtual buttons. That face will be a 4.3" qHD Super AMOLED display, which isn't quite at the same level as the 720p screen expected in the HTC Edge, but it should do the job well. Inside the Ville will be a dual-core Snapdragon S4 clocked at 1.5 GHz. It is expected to have the same 8 MP backside-illuminated camera found in the Edge, which will be capable of 1080p video capture.

Rounding out the specs, the Ville is said to not have NFC because of the issues with the metal casing, but the phone will be slick at under 8mm thick. Of course, there will be Beats audio, and it will be HSPA+, so we could see it on either AT&T or T-Mobile here in the States. Lastly, it's said to be packing a 1650 mAh battery, which seems a bit on the small side.
