Hands-On and Reviews

[Speeding Wheels]

PC World were not impressed, though they come across as opinionated rather than objective. They cast doubt over the screen, without saying why, LTE seems irrelevant to them and the $30 webtop is not even mentioned.

Here's another semi-critical review.

http://thisismynext.com/2011/09/07/motorola-droid-bionic-review/

The author seems to find trouble with some bloatware and battery life.

This one is more positive...

http://thenextweb.com/gadgets/2011/09/07/tnw-review-the-droid-bionic-is-the-lee-majors-of-android-phones-better-stronger-faster/

but takes issue with the camera stills (while saying that somehow the video is stellar) and the Pentile Display.

Overall so far reviewers like:

15+ Mbps LTE
1080p Video Capture
Phone speed (responsiveness and benchmarks)
Free Zumocast

Dislike:

Pricing
VZW Bloatware
Unpredictable still autofocusing

Are ambiguous about:

Battery life
Webtop application
Screen

Seeing it having 1 bar....he's probably in a bad reception area. That's a battery killer for 3G too...

Hmm...I'm not supposed to at work since it's youtube....but I think I have 16 free minutes

EDIT: Never mind. The government is able to record what youtube videos I watch since I have to agree to terms and conditions saying it's for government use f I want to view any youtube video.

I'm coming from a d1 and my initial thought is... holy sheet this thing is fast..... at everything. My d1 is rooted romd and overclocked to 1ghz and my new bionic totally blows it away. I get 4g at work and its as fast or faster than my internet on my desktop. Havent got to play around too much because my battery is low and cant charge it atm.

I'll take a moment from pondering such important questions as, "How can we all rule all machines at the same time?", to say it's FAST. It may not be the absolute fastest in benchmarks, but it's plenty fast for me.

PenTile is a non-issue for me. I know others don't like it. It's not as saturated as my OG Droid, or AMOLEDs, but it'll do. Need to get a full charge and cycle in to weigh in on battery life.

With that done, I have to go sign up with Blockbuster now... that's like a retro thing, right?
