Verizon just doesn’t seem to know what they are talking about when it comes to the availability of the much-anticipated HTC Thunderbolt.

LG’s upcoming LTE-toting Android phone for Verizon, the Revolution, has just made its way to the FCC. The powerful handset is up to snuff to that of the HTC Thunderbolt, and maybe we’ll even see this device released before the supposed “first 4G LTE phone” for Big Red. LG has been on a roll lately…
Samsung ironically decided to name their next Android phone the “Stealth,” which is funny, because it just leaked out to the world – not very stealthy.

They understand the value proposition of LTE and I feel very confident…
We’ve seen a handful of rumored release dates, and then see those dates be pushed back. Now, a new print ad leak indicates that the HTC Thunderbolt, Verizon’s first 4G LTE phone, may cost you somewhere near $300 at launch. The Thunderbolt is no chump of a phone, but 3 bills is pretty expensive for…
