Yes, I got mine Friday 4/20, ordered 4/10. Looks good, I haven't had a chance to play with it much yet, but seems to work well.Quote:

Sent from my DROID BIONIC using DroidForums
Just got mine today from Ben's Outlet. Pretty slick. Takes some getting used to. I have questions I'm trying to find answers for on these forums...
I've had it since it came out... maybe i can help... ask awayQuote:

I haven't been able to get mine woall with bootstrap or safestrap on the safe side... but safestrap on the unsafe side works alright
one thing i would stay away from... based on experience but i'm not 100% sure about
i broke my first two lapdocks within a month with heavy use and i think this was the situation
your Bionic battery is half dead.... your lapdock battery is also low... so you pop your Bionic into the lapdock and it's charging off the dock... and you plug in the dock so it's charging off the wall charger... then you proceed to do your thing with the dock... browsing, texting, streaming youtube videos or whatever... reach around the back of the screen where the usb ports are and feel how hot it's getting after 15 minutes or so... i feel like that was the thing this dock can't handle... it gets roasting hot trying to handle all the power requirements... i mean REALLY hot... like the dashboard of your car on a hot summer day...
so anyway i've stopped doing that with this last lapdock i got around thanksgiving time and it's been goin like a champ since then... i try to make sure the lapdock is charged at night so when i use it during the day it doesn't have to be plugged in and that seems to keep the heat down... it still gets pretty warm trying to charge the bionic battery but nothing like how it will if the dock is plugged in trying to charge both batteries at the same time
Thanks for the updates. It sounds great and I'm looking forward to it. I'll report back on delivery.
I got mine for $80. So far I love it. People complain about the keyboard size but they fail to realize that the phone's on screen keyboard is way smaller.
I do have one issue. When I quote on forums it will turn the quote number into a telephone number with a link. Weird.
