A new internal screen scooped from Best Buy is showing some distressing info about the HTC Thunderbolt. No, it has nothing to do with a delayed or not delayed launch that could happen on February 14th or 24th. Instead, it concerns the average retail pricing of the Thunderbolt off-contract. Best Buy has this pegged at a steep $749.99.
That just about tops most other off-contract smartphones, but there has to be hope this figure isn’t the actual retail price. Again, they are calling it the average retail price. Of course, we don’t know Verizon’s idea on pricing out their 4G devices in plans just yet, so this could become a new standard on Big Red. Here is a tip: buy it on-contract and you won’t even have to worry about that ugly looking $749.99.
