The newly-launched HTC Thunderbolt 4G is reportedly selling better than the iPhone 4 on Verizon Wireless, according to BTIG Research analyst Walter Piecyk — who called 150 different Verizon Wireless stores across 22 major cities nationwide to ask which of the two aforementioned smartphones was selling better. The results are kind of shocking.

Piecyk indicates that 61% of the Verizon Wireless stores reported that both the HTC Thunderbolt 4G and iPhone 4 are selling around the same rate. However, 28% of the stores revealed that the new HTC Thunderbolt 4G is selling at a much faster rate. The remaining 11% of stores stated that the iPhone 4 was outselling the HTC Thunderbolt 4G.
