Back in January it was FINALLY confirmed that Verizon was getting …. the iPhone. And I was excited. Really. I was. I had waited what 4 years for this?
I’m eligible for my New Every Two Upgrade on April 19. And while I wait… I was debating the Droid 2 Global by Motorola along with the iPhone. But now there is speculation that the iPhone 5 is coming in July… So I was really leaning towards the Droid (didn’t want to buy something just before it gets updated).
Until this weekend. I saw a tweet from someone about the new HTC Thunderbolt. The Thunderbolt is a mobile hotspot and lets you connect up to 8 devices to it via WiFi.
Sold.
I will be able to connect my iPad to the Thunderbolt and say farewell to my monthly dataplan for the iPad (and the crappy AT&T data service that comes with it).
I’m waiting for my “new every 2″ to be up in May, but I will get an iPhone, mostly because I already own a ton of apps and don’t want to buy new ones.
That said, I hear good things about the HTC Thunderbolt.
Cool. I don’t have that many apps that cost $$$) so it doesn’t really matter…
and the ones that did I can still use on my iPad or iPod Touch
