Verizon receiving HTC Thunderbolt training materials is a good sign that the device will hit shelves sooner than later. When it comes to the pre-release cycle for a phone, employee training is certainly located somewhere near the end. Recent rumors have suggested that the Thunderbolt may see a release date of late February to early March – A time frame that’s starting to look very feasible. Nothing official has been announced as of yet, but don’t be surprised if that day is just around the corner.

Just in case you need a quick refresher, the Thunderbolt is said to be one of the first LTE-enabled smartphones on Verizon with HTC Sense 2.0, a 4.3-inch screen, 1GHz processor, 768MB RAM, and a front-facing camera.
