Well, there’s a bad news for all the Android fans who were hoping to pick up the HTC Thunderbolt at Best Buy. Last Week, reports suggested that the Best Buy ad was listing the Thunderbolt at $249, but now it seems that no longer the case.
However latest ad, listed in Best Buy’s online buyer’s guide, now shows a $50 price increase to $299 on a two year contract with Verizon. With an unsubsidized price of $749 as well, are smartphones reaching a point where they’re just too expensive?
Thunderbolt has been troubled with its price issues, slipped release dates, failed Skype video chat support and even public Wi-Fi issues. But it’s not exactly motivating that this new 4G phone would be even more expensive than it was originally listed. So, will Android fans colt up the additional $50? Or will they move on to the Atrix, or even wait and see if there’s a 4G iPhone.
