HTC ThunderBolt strikes Amazon with a $100 price tag

The first 4G LTE phone on Verizon, the HTC ThunderBolt, is still one of the few choices you have when it comes to a handset supporting Big Red's blazing-fast data network. And if you've already made up your mind about purchasing it, the $100 price tag on Amazon Wireless when you pick the phone on contract will be as close to getting a great deal as it gets.

The 4.3 incher, comes with a 1GHz single-core Snapdragon and an 8 megapixel camera – plenty of muscle for this Android 2.2 Froyo device. In addition, you can use it as a mobile hotspot with support for up to 8 devices which you can freely hook up. Until June 15th that is, when the service leaves its trial stage and will require a monthly fee. Overall, the discount makes the ThunderBolt the most affordable 4G handset on Verizon, but if price is not your main concern, you might want to take a look at our in-depth review of the similarly sized 4G-capable LG Revolution ($199.99) and Samsung Droid Charge ($249.99).
