I
remember my first cell phone. I bought it in the early 1990s, and the gizmo
cost me $600. The plan cost $45 per month plus $1.50 per minute of talk
time. The cell signal didn’t reach my house, so I could use it only in town —
or if I wandered up to the roof and stood there during a call. Even
so, I was thrilled to have a device unlike anything I’d ever
owned, especially a gadget that let me do something won-
derful, such as place a phone call from anywhere (well,
anywhere it received a signal).
Your HTC ThunderBolt can be your first phone,
your first cell phone, your first smartphone, and
probably your first 4G LTE phone. It’s an amazing
gizmo, full of potential and loaded with things that
will confound and confuse you. Before all that hap-
pens, you need to free the device from the confines
of its box, give it a look-see, and complete other pre-
liminary but important tasks.
Liberation
The first thing you do with a new electronic item is liberate it from the con-
fines of its box or container. You repeat the same process for a new phone,
though because most folks buy their phones at the Phone Store, odds are
good that the people in the store have already freed your ThunderBolt from
the confines of its HTC packaging.
