It's 9:40 here in Texas right now. I got to the verizon store at 8:30am and there was a line of almost 50 people already there. Well turns out that Verizon store only got 40 Droid Bionics. I left 20 min ago with no Bionic. 5 min ago I went online to order the Bionic for full price and holy crap!! they gave me a early upgrade!!!! it wasn't there last night as I was trying to see if I could catch them putting the bionic online. Was this meant to be?!?!? I get mine tomorrow when the fedx dude comes. Hell Yeah!!!

I still haven't decided if I'm going to upgrade from my original Droid now (for this) or wait to see what comes out down the road closer to the holidays. I'm anxious to see what people have to say about the bionic as that may help me make up my mind.

So far I love my Bionic.. upgraded from my X. I just can't wait to be able to root and slap a custom rom on this bad boy to let it really fly. So far its fast, the video chat works great, and its VERY light. Only complaint is the pentile screen. It doesn't look bad by any means, but if you look very closely u can see the pixels like on the X2. Aside from that though its F'n sweet.

Yes bestbuy should have them in stock. I work for best buy and I'm currently at the store right now. Though they're probably limited

Wow could i be one of the firsts to get it? My store which was supposed to open at 9 had the doors open at 8:30. Walked in, played with the demo for a few minutes, and made my purchase. Battery went from 50% at the store to 15% during my 40 minute drive to work lol. Was downloading all my apps at the time to.

Very impressed with 4G. In my office i barely had 1-2 3G bars but with the bionic i have 3 bars 4G (speedtest read 10mbps down).

What kinda pics are you looking for. I've got my Droid X here so i can snap some and upload.

EDIT- more info

+ app download/ installation speed. All of the apps i've tried to get download AND install in less than 10 seconds
+ Size of the phone. While not as narrow as my droid X, its not as thick as i thought it would be and i like the dark chrome bezel a lot more than i thought i would.
+ Apps load INSTANTLY, even camera and camcorder
+ Quadrant 2560 with apps downloading in the background. My OC'd 1.4ghz droid X never sniffed 2000
- Screen is a step down from my Droid X in my opinion. It's just not as bright and clear.
- Phone still gets freakin HOT while multitasking.

Bummer about the Bionic display not being as bright and clear. Did you max the bright on both phones?

Congrats on the Bionics. Anyone want to do me a favor and let me know if the Bionic fits the Atric lapdock or do you have to get the Bionic version (please tell me that you actually went and tried, not just a guess)?

There are several reviews that say that it's not, I believe it's somewhere in this 16 minute video review.
