Bionic vs. Nexus: My Thoughts

[aaf709]

FM Radio?! Get on the Sirius/XM train you cheapskate!

Or get the TuneIn Radio app.

Or install the MotoFMradio.apk, plug in your headset and use the FM tuner the Bionic has.

If you buy a Bionic now, you are wasting your money. The fact that Verizon isn't charging for it shows their confidence level. Add in the newer phones out already and the ones coming out this summer and it is a no brainer. It is a phone that was changed too many times prerelease and had way too many bugs. I was so excited for the phone, only to be extremely let down. If you are in the market to get a new phone, I would definitely suggest the the Nexus over it, but if you don't mind the wait, go for the GIII. The write up above is solid, but I think it is written through rose colored Bionic glasses. Most Bionic owners feel the way I do. But you can always give it a try, Verizon gives you 2 weeks to bring it back.

I bought a Bionic because my work issued Bionic has been trouble free, and I was tired of the issues with my X2. I found a brand new in the box one for $175. I don't think I wasted the money. I didn't want to wait because I wanted to lock in unlimited 4G.

Nice job dude. One big thing that u didn't mention it's Thee bionic's extended battery.it it's a beast and a must-have. It eliminates the stress of 4g power consumption
And still looks stylish and really cool/Badass. Nexus doesn't have a battery available that compares

Guys i know its not considered cool to unconditionally support your phone over other models. Call me a "fanboy", or whatever.. i think the bionic hands down beats the nexus, especially for its price.

Dont fall for the nexus hype, its overrated and overpriced for what it is. The only thing i like about it is the screen.

Ur absolutely right but the nexus fanboy population outnumbers the bionic so regardless of the truth, people are gonna say what they say. I completely agree with u tho. I am objective enough to admit that The one phone that might be better right now is the maxx just because it's cool but really it's the same hardware and even with that big battery id still kill it and be stuck so I'd definitely rather have my bionic with my awesome extended battery and my other ones along with my stand alone charger that always has a full battery ready for me to pop in. but the truth will never out weigh the hype and large fan boy population.at least we are fortunate enough to be in on the secret truth

The Tune In app doesnt work too good anymore, doesnt have all the local stations I want. And 1 station I liked got taken off local air, used to be able to get it on Tune In...now its strictly on HD radio... The website used to be better, now its more like the app.

Or install the MotoFMradio.apk, plug in your headset and use the FM tuner the Bionic has.

I dont have a Bionic...lol. If I DID tho....I wouldnt be missing my FM Radio. I think that might be on my spec list for my next phone. I seriously was gonna get the Bionic....I forgot what I wanted when the RAZR came out. I think I assumed the RAZR had FM Radio or could use it.

I was looking at the Bionic and the Nexus a few months ago and I went with the Bionic because I have wanted it ever since it was announced... It was also only $100 after rebate. I'm very happy with the device as it does everything I need or want it to do. I have the extended battery and with web surfing, reading articles and ebooks and light youtube watching plus calls I still get at least three days on a charge. No exageration... Plus sometimes i play Shadowgun on it which runs smooth. Just wanted to say, GREAT write up to the OP! It was unbiased and reinforced my opinion that the Bionic was the right choice for me.

Most Bionic owners feel the way I do.

I would love to see how many Bionic owners were in the survey sample you took. Please add me to your survey - and count me as one who does NOT agree with your conclusion.
