Latency (in milliseconds, or ms) on the other hand is a less common topic. It basically shows you how fast you can retrieve data. Raw speed (in Mbps of download/upload) is a common metric that most people with a home Internet connection have heard of. Next-Gen Network (read this!): because the main improvement is located at the wireless mobile network level, it’s important to understand that performance is the combination of two things: raw speed and latency.

The 4.3” display is very big and pretty much the largest screen you can get for a handset. Just like its older cousin, the HTC Thunderbolt feels good in the hand although it is a little heavier than most phones. On the outside, the HTC Thunderbolt is built on the same philosophy that led to the HTC EVO 4G. This usage pattern affects battery life and my perception of which features are important or not. I don’t make many phone calls – maybe 10 minutes per day, if at all. I run apps: mainly social networks and a tiny bit of games. I browse the web several times a day to check news sites, but I rarely watch movies or play music on my phone. I typically check my email often with Exchange, and I reply moderately because with the virtual keyboard, typing long emails is a chore. From there, you can figure out how things might turn out for you. I find it more helpful to tell you what I do with these devices, and how they worked for me (or not!). Usage patterns are different for each of us: we all have our own, and that’s why it is often impractical to write a dogmatic review that simply says “buy/don’t buy” (that’s so 1990).
