While the HTC Thunderbolt can't be considered the epitome of what a 4G phone could be, it certainly gives you a glimpse of what lies ahead for this technology, says Pocket-Lint. Reviewers loved its blazingly quick performance, and after using it for a while, found it tough to go back to the spasmodic twitching of 3G. However, they weren't too keen on its poor battery life.

HTC Sensation Mobile Choice 7/2011 - Software developers often find themselves playing a game of catch-up with gadgets as their hardware becomes more and more powerful. Success comes when they finally reach a point, where a swell of possibilities starts flooding in all at once. It seems like such a wave is on the horizon, as the HTC Sensation is now the most powerful smartphone on the market, yet still can't do much more than its rivals. However, this doesn't mean that it's not an attractive device.

HTC ChaCha PC Advisor 7/2011 - HTC have created the ChaCha which is an Android smartphone that has a button specifically for Facebook.

HTC Wildfire S What Mobile Online 6/2011 - Consumers aren't asking for all that much, by requesting a stylish, pocket-friendly phone, with a good OS, powerful features, and a really low price. Maybe the HTC Wildfire S can give them what they want.

HTC Salsa ZDNet 7/2011 - HTC have produced two phones which have a dedicated Facebook button for fans of the social networking site. The ChaCha has a mini QWERTY keyboard, and the Salsa (reviewed here) takes on HTC's more usual appearance.

HTC Sensation review: It's Android, Jim, but not as we know it... Electric Pig 5/2011 - The HTC Sensation almost has a clear run. With no new iPhone in sight, Motorola's Atrix stuck on one network and LG shooting itself in the same foot time and again, HTC's super-phone has the limelight. Its only real competition? The awesome, dual-core Samsung Galaxy S 2 - Electricpig's favourite gadget of the year so far.

HTC Wildfire S Mobile Choice 6/2011 - The original HTC Wildfire was something of game changer. It proved that you didn't have to pay through the nose for a bona fide smartphone, with some operators offering the phone for free on contracts as little as £15 per month. Such good value it proved to be, that not only was it awarded with our Best Value Phone at last year's Consumer Awards, but other operators followed suit and began bringing out better, more feature packed smartphones at far more competitive price points. The HTC Wildfire S is its sequel, but will it fare as well as its older brother?
