Since the day it was announced roughly two months ago, HTC Thunderbolt has become one of the most popular topics for rumor mongers in the tech arena. In fact rumors and speculations about this smartphone began surfacing well before it was officially announced at the Consumer Electronics Show on 6th January, 2011. Even though the manufacturer refrained from divulging any details about when the HTC Thunderbolt is scheduled for release, several publications which keep a track of tech arena published the rumored Thunderbolt release date which they allegedly came to know from their sources. While the initial rumors suggested that this smartphone will be made available in the month of February, more recent rumors hint at the fact that we won't be able to see the Thunderbolt anytime before mid March 2011.

The Thunderbolt boasts of being the first 4G LTE smartphone on Verizon Wireless - the second largest mobile telecommunications network in the United States (basically, 4G LTE is the latest standard in the mobile network technology.). Armed with Android 2.2 (Froyo) operating system, the thunderbolt is basically a CDMA variant of HTC Desire HD.

HTC Thunderbolt Release Date and Price

Rumors about the release date and price of this HTC smartphone is plenty. Initially it was believed that the Thunderbolt will be released on 14th February. While that didn't actually happen, some sources said that the release date has been postponed to 21st February, and then again to 24th February - which again didn't really happen. Other than these three, several other dates were also in the fray, but every single date turned out to be a hoax call.

Again there is no concrete evidence for us to speculate that this date won't change.
