So now that the HTC Thunderbolt has come out to play, just how much faster is the Android 2.2 Froyo 4G smartphone when compared to other smartphones? Well you are about to find out as we have a little speed test video footage for your viewing pleasure below.

The HTC Thunderbolt 4G LTE speed test video comes our way courtesy of the guys over at Phone Arena which runs a couple of speed tests on the Verizon 4G LTE enabled handset and then compares the Thunderbolt with the Motorola Droid X and of course the iPhone 4.

As you will see in the video the HTC Thunderbolt gained download speeds between 5 and 7 mbps, but apparently reached between 10 and 12 mbps at differing times during the day. However the guys say what is puzzling is the upload speeds with the HTC Thunderbolt hitting 30 to 40 mbps.

Anyway it does appear that the HTC Thunderbolt does cream the competition in the speed test stakes, so all you need do now is head on down and check out just how much faster the HTC Thunderbolt appears to be…enjoy.
