The recently released HTC Thunderbolt keeps pace with Verizon iPhone, at least according to the Verizon store salesperson.
Some people have just got to have them. Most agree that Flash is not the best Android device on the market today, but its ability to obtain speeds of 20 Mb/SEC, faster than many wired Internet service providers, have people snapping them.
Barrons quotes BTIG analysis analyst Walter Piecyk that drove controls of 150 different Verizon Wireless stores in 22 towns of the week:
.. in 61% of cases, store salesman told Mr Piecyk sales the about the same. in 11% of cases were iPhone sales. in 28% of cases was Thunderbolt forward.
"Clearly ThunderBolt strong sales can be a result of hype following the recent launch of ThunderBolt," two weeks ago, he writes. But qualitative feedback we have received from sales personnel was an expectation that ThunderBolt would keep pace with iPhone.
If you add Verizon's many other Android offerings mixture and believes that Apple (EMMYS) is not likely to introduce an iPhone 5 until autumn, it appears unlikely that a Verizon iPhone is going to stop the Androids.
So much for Verizon iPhone effect.
