HTC ThunderBolt outselling iPhone 4 at Verizon Wireless stores, analyst claims

mobile

BTIG Research analyst Walter Piecyk says HTC’s latest beastly smartphone for Verizon Wireless is going toe to toe with the iPhone 4, and is even outselling Apple’s iPhone at many Verizon Wireless store locations. Piecyk and his team made calls to 150 different Verizon Wireless stores across 22 major U.S. cities, asking which device was selling better. According to the analyst’s report, 61% of stores said the two devices were selling at about the same rate, 11% said the iPhone 4 was selling faster and 28% said they were selling more ThunderBolt smartphones than iPhones. This anecdotal evidence suggests a solid launch for Verizon Wireless, and it further supports recent data that large-screen smartphones are continuing to grow in popularity. We reviewed the HTC ThunderBolt recently and called it the fastest cell phone we’ve ever tested.

    The thunderbolt is the evo without the hdmi, So I see so many people saying the reason its doing well is because the iPhone4 is 12 months and the tbolt is brand new phone, well news flash the tbolt is older than the iphone if you go by that argument, bc the Evo came out on sprint before the iphone4 on AT&T
