When Verizon made the HTC ThunderBolt official during CES, they gave us all kinds of spec information but neglected to share one of the most important bits of data: the release date. Unfortunately, the ThunderBolt's launch info is still up in the air, but there is some evidence that shows that the device could be hitting shelves in the near future. The folks at Android Central have gotten their hands on the image you see above, which shows that Big Red has begun the process of training its employees on the ThunderBolt and all of the LTE goodness that it has to offer.

Sure, the fact that Verizon workers are busy cramming everything there is to know about the ThunderBolt into their heads doesn't absolutely, positively mean that the handset is coming soon. Considering what we've seen in the past, though, there's a pretty good chance that we'll be getting our 4.3-inch LTE fun on in the near future. The question is, are you going to buy a ThunderBolt, or would you prefer your 4G phone contain a dual-core Tegra 2 mix-in?
