HTC Thunderbolt vs. Verizon’s iPhone 4

Once again we find our arch nemesis in the cross-hairs. Although the iPhone is still running the same hardware it started with last summer, it’s still a force to be reckoned with. Although I am Android-biased, as a tech enthusiast I respect the iPhone and will agree that it does have a lot to offer. However, we have an ace-in-the-hole, I’m not referring to flash capability, Verizon’s new HTC Thunderbolt is on the horizon. Does the new HTC Thunderbolt have what it takes to bury this monster, or will we have to wait for a dual-core to emerge?

I'm an avid technology lover. My first Android device was a G1; I fell in love (except for the battery), next I got a Samsung Captivate; error in judgment on my behalf, now I've moved on to the MyTouch 4G; which I absolutely love. What started with me just needing some kind of phone to use, i.e. free G1, ended with a new addiction.... I also enjoy long walks on the beach and luxurious bubble baths.... Oh wait.
