Bionic Getting Pre-razr Price Drop

[Vito.a]

[QUOTE=Dave12308;1809943]My question is why no one is talking about the HTC Rezound? Sucker's supposed to have a 1.5GHz dual-core processor and a 720p screen. And if I am not mistaken, it has one of the Adreno 220 GPUs and seems to outperform everything else out there. Here's a link to an article about the chipset.QUOTE]

I agree the new HTC phone looks good on paper, but for many of us the Thunderbolt was so problematic that I now avoid HTC phones.

Was just browsing through the VerizonWireless website only to find the Razr advertised for $249.99. Hmmmmm...

Do you have some kind of discount with Verizon because I see $299 when I'm signed out and logged in to my account.

Wow that is weird. I have 20% off my bill and 25% off accessories but I have never seen my discount apply to a phone itself before. I dunno what the deal is.

Hey, well now you know next time you upgrade! And if you're rocking the D2 now, maybe you'll want the D4 which may be coming in a couple months...

I noticed a week or two ago I was granted an early upgrade .. now just the decision between the Razr and the Nexus .... Leaning toward the Nexus right now.

Nice. Well keep your eyes and ears open. Test them all out for yourself. Verizon has a lot of phones coming out in the next couple of months.

Wirefly has the Bionic for $149.00 With a contract extension for existing customers. $119.00 for new ones.

It hasn't officially been announced and noone really know the specs for it, just rumors and they're really haven't even been many of those.

Because it's htc and because the pictures of it look like crap.

Funny, like 2 months ago HTC was the phone to have and everyone hated Moto.

Is it really that powerful?

If I'm not mistaken it's the same cpu that's in the T-Mobile GS2 and HTC sensation.

From my understanding Exynos @ 1.2GHz is better and the Mali 400 GPU is more powerful.

You may be right, but since V$ doesn't have a phone that has a Exynos and a Mali in it that points kind moot. They passed on the phone with the Exyno for the GN, and then just to have it a few months before anyone else.

I think what he is saying is that the HTC is more powerful than the Razr with a OMAP 4430 overclocked to 1.2 or the Nexus with the 4460 underclocked to 1.2. Who is running the Exynos?

At least the specs for the HTC show a removable battery and a removable memory card. But the screen does not look as good.

Yeah, that's exactly what I was referring to. It's the most impressive looking device (spec wise, not physically) coming to VZW in the near future. It would be funny if this "underhyped" phone ends up being a "Rezounding" success *LOL*

EDIT: As for the screen, it may not be AMOLED; however I would be perfectly happy with a 720p S-LCD screen. I am in the minority that HATE the overblown colors with AMOLED.

If you are logged in, they shpow the phone prices with any discounts you may get already applied. When you are first available for an upgrade/extension, they give you like $30 credit and it goes up after that. Towards the end of a contract, you'll see a $50 credit, possibly more...
