Android Thoughts: HTC's Thunderbolt Could Be Dual Core But Probably Not

"Specifications for the upcoming HTC Thunderbolt have purportedly leaked, with a German retailer listing the smartphone in their systems. According to the screenshot sent to HTCInside, the smartphone - which so far we've seen with Verizon branding for the US - will also be headed to German carriers O2, Deutsche Telekom and Vodafone, all of whom have fledgling LTE networks of their own."

Well that got my hopes up for a brief moment. Not long after the potential specs for HTC's new Thunderbolt 4G were leaked some one pointed out that Qualcomm themselves stated that the CPU listed is not due out until 2012. Now we know there are other dual core phones coming down the pipe so this may just be a typo or perhaps Qualcomm has something else up their sleeve. The Thunderbolt may yet be dual core. Of course, there is always the possibility that this is entirely bunk and this baby is rockin a Snapdragon from last year. But hey, even if half of these leaked specs are accurate this will be one heck of a phone. I can't wait for this year's CES!
