Great deal: Amazon selling HTC ThunderBolt for $129.99 thru April 25

April 22, 2011 By Jeffrey Van Camp

Looking to join Verizon? Amazon is selling the HTC ThunderBolt at nearly half-price until April 25.

Thinking of switching to Verizon, but waiting for that 4G LTE network? AmazonWireless has a deal for you. The mobile division of Amazon is currently selling the HTC ThunderBolt 4G for $129.99 to all new customers who sign up for a plan on Verizon. Those looking to upgrade and renew their contract aren’t as fortunate. The renewal price is $199.99. Those who are interested will, unfortunately, have to act fast. It expires at midnight (PDT) on Monday, April 25.

The ThunderBolt, which normally retails for $249.99, is the first phone on Verizon to take advantage of the carrier’s new 4G LTE network. It has performed very well, selling 260,000 units in its first two weeks on the market. We have no complaints about the Android device except for its battery, which tends to drain very quickly due to the demands of Verizon’s 4G network.

BobW1955 at 4:18am 23rd April 2011 This article is not completely accurate. I am a Verizon customer with an expired contract and when I tried to purchase the HTC Thunderbolt through Amazonwireless their website tried to charge me $199.00 instead of the lower $129.00 stated in this article. I called them and they told me that because I am not a new Verizon customer I can not get the phone for the lower price. The $199.00 price is still cheaper than directly from Verizon, I will wait. This phone is nice, but right now it is over priced in my option.
