Bionic crawls out of the grave!!!

hopeful use smaller lte radio

Now that would make complete sense. If you look at the size of the Thunderbolt a lot of it is due to the LTE radio. Even the Charge and Revolution (think that is the name of the LG Phone) have been said to be large because of the LTE radio size.

If they could make the LTE radio size smaller it would make huge differences in the size of the phone (depth especially).

I do not want a smaller phone... I have big hands I need a 4.3 phone...

I wasn't refering to phone size, but radio size. If you have seen the thunderbolt it's .52" thick which is almost as thick as the Droid 2 /D2g with a keyboard. The Droid X is only .4" thick.

It would also leave more room for better cooling (if the rumors are true and that was an issue), etc...

There are many advantages to having a smaller radio.

has any one seen the picture of the bionic? it shows a picture of the bionic we saw at CES running stock android. the article states that its froyo but I don't see how they can assume that besides the browser and phone dock applications not being green. the notification bar is the same as the one that was in CES nd the one that came with the GB leak for DX

Oh Sorry I misunderstood.

@DroidNCState think u cld call it a hybrid.. more of a refinement to meet bleeding edge specs and hopeful use smaller lte radio

You know, I read Anandtech's review of Verizon's LTE Network and the Thunderbolt, and this very thought occurred to me. If they can get a smaller LTE radio and possibly even a class 4, that would make me very happy.

The other reason the Thunderbolt is so enormously thick is because it includes more radios than the typical phone (which is why it can do voice+data over 3G). The Anandtech review explains this well (as well as giving a tear-down).
