VZ Navigator for HTC Thunderbolt hits Android Market-without the phone

The VZ Navigator app designed specifically for the HTC Thunderbolt is now available on the Android Market. Of course, there is no phone that the app can be installed on as the launch of Verizon's first 4G handset has been delayed. Originally expected by late February, the Thunderbolt is now penciled in for a release early this month.

If this scenario of a VZ Navigator app being made available on the Android Market for a phone that hasn't yet been rolled out seems familiar, a similar situation occurred with the Motorola DROID 2 Global back in November.

Still, optimists will say that this is a positive sign that the launch of the HTC Thunderbolt is imminent. As we reported yesterday, there is some speculation that the handset is in the process of being shipped to Verizon retail locations.
