The new Droid Bionic just came out today (Thursday). Its the new super phone thats getting a ton of hype and is said to mop the floors with the iPhone 5

Its a dual core 1.0ghz processor, 1g ram, 4G LTE, 4.3" screen, etc......I am planning on getting it. I have the OG droid as well and I am up for my "new in two".

The phone is $299 w/ a 2 year contract. If you are up for your "new in 2" you get $50....then trade your old phone into verizon for a $100 gift card.....so that knocks it down to a $150 phone

Remember that commercial where KIA compared themselves to the new BMW that hadn't even hit the market yet. I thought it was bad enough when they were comparing themselves to the BMWs that were out and they could do a side by side comparison but when they were doing a fantasy comparison to a unit that hadn't even come out yet, WHEW!!! A KIA is a good car for the money. But to get a BMW you have to pay for it. If KIAs were better they could get more for them.

Wait, what were we talking about?

I think that was the exact quote that KIA used in their ad!

same difference....over hyped, false hopes, lack of performance and nothing but disappointments.

I heard that the Bionic is better than the Iphone 7!!!

Well you also have to remember the iPhone 5 wont have 4G, so yeah the Bionic is going to smoke it in speed. But a buddy I work with has another 4g phone from Verizon, I have the iPhone 4, yes his phone is faster, yes it will do everything my phone will... But I can do it all for 3-4 times as long. He just just using it normally it will die in 4 hours because of how much battery 4G needs. That is also the reason iPhone 5 won't be 4G, apple is obsessed with battery life. So if you wont to be hooked to a wall or some kind of charger, but super fast get a 4G phone. If you can wait because you are okay with being a little slow and able to move around go with 3G...

I totally agree with you, but Motorola put a beefier battery in the Bionic. Theres a good article covering this....

** of course, all of the information in the link above is all skeptical as the phone just came out today. but you get the point

« **Reply #22 on:** September 08, 2011, 10:32:19 AM »

Dananananananana!!!!!!!!!!! Of course it can, it's bionic! We have the technology! The 6 million dollar phone for just $150 but wait, if you order now we will throw in this.................

« **Reply #23 on:** September 08, 2011, 11:22:26 AM »

Yeah I don't know anything about the bionic, I was more speaking to the fact of 4G itself. And it's strain of the battery. But again, just thoughts. And whatever you do I wouldn't go with the iPhone from Verizon. The AT&T and Verizon iPhones are two different beasts, and even on two different softwares...

« **Reply #24 on:** September 08, 2011, 11:48:39 AM »

I have a 3GS AT&T my cousin has a 4 on Verizon. He challenged me to a download race. His signal must have had a problem because we started at the same time and his took 3 times as long. I am sure this isn't typical but it sure was damn funny! He will never live it down! Like I said I am sure it was not typical.
