[Poll] - Droid BIONIC - Who's getting it -

[jaycemiskel]

They will not release the phone if its not working properly they will lose money and so will Verizon handling the customer service and tech issues. HTC = Garbage their phones have horrible reception and just crappy build quality. Trust in Motorola they will not steer you wrong.

Kind of like how Samsung didn't release the galaxy S phones even though they had GPS problems... oh wait, they did. They also made a ton of money off of them. These companies only care about the bottom line, not their customers. Just because a phone has a major flaw doesn't mean that it will be unusable. It might be something that a lot of people don't use. Who knows...

Do NOT trust in Motorola. They are the ones that put crappy lenses in thier cameras on phones, sell phones with horrible keyboards, and booby trap your phone if you try to customize it or remove bloatware. If you buy any motorola device after the D1, even if you payed a lot for it, motorola still owns it, and they decide how you run it.

I have a BB Storm2, and love it, but my NE2 is up in June and I am tired of waiting for RIM to join the rest of the world...too little, too late. I live in Pittsburgh (yes, we are going to the SUPERBOWL!) and have LTE so my next phone must have it, as I can't afford to buy a new phone every 6-12 months. I think I will miss the themes and my email at comcast.net, but I want a BIG screen, faster browser, etc., something I just won't get with BB. The Bionic specs are awesome, although I like the looks of the HTC TB better - love that clock/weather!

Sense, which is the interface that HTC uses is award winning. Blur, the interface that Moto uses is complete garbage. I believe in the new Sense you can have themes, but am not totally sure. Regardless there are tons of android apps and widgets you can use to customize any android device.

Not for me thanks. If it was the Atrix I would consider, but im not jumping to at&t for the same reason I wouldnt jump for an iphone. Not concerned about bootloader as im sure the functionality is fine with launcher pro. What im seeing, as was mentioned earlier, is that vzw seems to now be getting the "substandard" android phones while the other carriers will be ramping up on the higher end phones. Not saying.the bionic is substandard per se...i can just see how other carriers will look to lock in (pony up for) a bit better phones now that vzw has iphone. All those clamoring for the iphone are to thank. It would seem we are now going to move into at&t territory. The Atrix is a much better phone especially in light of the optional accessories that you can get. The Bionic not getting them (when they are really the same phone) is a shame, a dealbreaker and might have android lovers jumping to ma bell for it. After being a devout android follower these past few years, I have no interest in getting an iphone. The cons outweigh the pros. I am sitting on a month to month contract and can bide my time until something compelling is released from vzw. I realize I may be in the minority here, but when you see your friends rocking a laptop dock and you can't because vzw is more interested in the fruit phone...you will be none too happy. The tech is moving at lighting speed...there are still a great many awesome things to come this year! I can wait.

The x is my first smart phone and I love it, but it will be my last motorola device, sadly. My next purchase will be from a company that respects its customer base enough to allow them to mod their phones at will, including the bootloader.

Seriously, somehow all of a sudden VZW has lower end phones? WTF is wrong with the Bionic??? Jeebus, in November / December people were DROOLING over the thought of half of these specs.

I think people just say that because the spec sheet on the Atrix looks better. I wasn't too happy about the ram, but it still has twice the ram of Droid so it's all good. Not having enough ram is VERY frustrating.
