A question for Bionic owners...

[GeneralZod]

I've been following this forum for a while. The Bionic seems like a very strong device, with the typical set of issues that plague a new phone, all of which will likely be addressed by the patch in early November. If battery life wasn't an issue (I have no problems keeping my phone charged, car, work, home, etc.) and you were up for an upgrade today (I'm eligible for an upgrade from my DX), would you...

Thanks.

As of today, there's nothing to upgrade to.

I'm not sure if your response is meant to be tongue in cheek. My reference to an upgrade, was the fact that I'm eligible for an upgrade from current DX.

I'd say the Prime as you'd be getting the latest phone then. There is a problem as you're making a decision on 3 phones and only one is available to get real owner's opinions. Me, I'm happy with my Bionic.

I like my Bionic, except for Data issues, no problems for me. Battery life is pretty good. But if I were you, then I'd wait til the nexus is out and play with all the phones and then determine which i liked.

I upgraded from the OG about 3 days before the razr and the prime was announced and I still feel like the my Bionic was a worthy upgrade.

+1. What he said. I'm happy with my Bionic. If you're up for an upgrade today and don't wanna wait a few more weeks for the newer handsets to come out, I'd get the Bionic. But if you can wait, and there's not much waiting left as they're all due out soon, why not wait to see your other options first hand? Of course, you'd have to wait a few more weeks after that to see what these phones would be like in the real world, and for all we know they'll have the same/similar issues as the Bionic. But it doesn't hurt to wait anyway.

Ok my bad then. I thought that you already had a Bionic and was interested in upgrading at full retail value to something else. Carry on.

There are issues with the bionic, 4g/3g loss and the black screen of death issue. Hopefully, those will be addressed in the OTA update in a couple of weeks. For now, I'm rooted and running a liberty rom and I have had no problems since then. If I may make a suggestion, edit your original post, just to clarify that you have a dx and you want to know if the bionic is a good phone to upgrade to.

Love my Bionic.
Really do, and not just saying that to placate myself and my decision...LOL. Bought it on the day it dropped.

I got a little giddy when hearing about the RZR, but when I heard that there was no removable battery, it ended up being a deal breaker to even dream about.
Funny thing...I never owned two batteries for a single phone in my life. I only have a second one handy for the Bionic because it came "free" with my Costco Bionic bundle purchase. Never thought I would use it...even told my GF "yeah, got this too, but I don't know what I would ever use it for."

That was my ignorance. I LOVE being at work all day and then heading out somewhere afterward if necessary...draining battery with whatever I'm needing to do throughout the day. But when I get home and either need to go running, using RunKeeper and Spotify on some long runs, or using my phone when my GF has "Private Practice" on the tube, it's AWESOME to walk in the door, flip out batteries, and voila! - instant 100% juice satisfaction!

I know you said battery life is a non-issue for you...but I'm just saying it's the one aspect that has made the RZR instantly unattractive to me.

Happy, so happy, with my little machine to rule all machines. LOL
