Rumored Pantech Breakout, Another LTE Phone on Verizon

A recent leak has us wondering about the possibility of a new Verizon device, the Breakout, coming in the following months. While the specs aren’t great – just a 1GHz CPU, 512MB RAM, front and back cameras and Gingerbread – it does support Verizon LTE. Judging by the popularity of LTE and the relative demand for inexpensive smartphones, our guess is that this phone will target the low-budget crowd (maybe even the prepaid crowd). While nothing is confirmed yet, we do have a comparison sheet, which is more than we can say for many other rumors.

Another Thunderbolt Gingerbread Build Comes To Light 2.11.605.0 [Courtesy of XDA]

It seems like Gingerbread RUU’s are a dime a dozen for HTC’s Thunderbolt.  Just last week it appeared that an official Gingerbread build was closer than ever, however, if the 2.07.605.0 build was official, one would think we would have received it already or at the very least heard of it rolling out on a Thunderbolt near you.  As of now, we’re not sure exactly how many builds have hit the ground running for this device, but here’s another one for you anyway.  In RUU form, XDA member Football has released build 2.11.605.0.  Being an RUU (Radio Unit Upgrade) this means if you perform the upgrade using this build, your device will be completely wiped.  And as always, we caution you to do this at your own risk.  If you don’t know what you’re doing, get help from a more experienced nerd tech savvy, phone hacking guru.  After all that’s said and done, it’s obvious that at the very least, Gingerbread 2.3 landing on this device is still a pursuit, as developers are clearly still active with it.  And hopefully, in no time at all, we’ll see an official bug free build on the handset… soon.  Cross those fingers!
