Verizon Wireless finally release its first LTE 4G smartphone next month. Circulating reports indicate that the HTC Thunderbolt will be released sometime in March.

There are different dates that are being rumored as the official day for the handset's release. A forum poster at the Android Forums has been tipped that it will be launched on March 3rd or 4th. A Best Buy in California href="http://twitter.com/#!/bestbuy129">confirmed a March 4th release via twitter. A leaked Best Buy document pointed to March 10 as the HTC Thunderbolt release date. But nothing is official yet until Verizon Wireless announces a date.

The HTC Thunderbolt features a 4.3-inch WVGA display, 8-megapixel camera with HD video recording, HTC Sense 2.0, 1GHz Snapdragon processor, DLNA capability, and built-in Skype video calling.
