    Since this summer poses us with a difficult decision making process, I thought I would throw it up for a poll. Which of you guys plan to buy the Droid 3? Which of you want the Droid Bionic? And, which are still undecided, or want neither?

    My upgrade option is available August 8th, which may be a few days after or before the Bionic is released. Unless some unknown spec/problem causes the Bionic to get crushed in reviews, I'll probably use it on the Bionic.

    Then I will either keep it for 2 years, or sell it if the rumored Nexus Prime actually comes to Verizon.

    The biggest determinant of whether I buy a Bionic or not will be whether it the battery life is decent or not. If it's horrid, I'm thinking I'll stick it out until the next round of LTE chipsets hits. I need battery life that can at least make it through a day of regular use.

    Bionic. I have been following the threads and all leaked info. Bionic all the way. My upgrade was ready 2 months ago but I do not want to use it until it comes out

    My upgrade is 27 July and will hold out for the Bionic, BUT like a previous post, if the battery life sucks, then I'll look for another or hold out with my Droid1 a little longer.

    I'm still undecided. The Droid3 seems like a solid phone. And when it comes out in stores I will def. go get some hands on with it. But I have been following the bionic since Moto first mentioned it. If it comes out with better hardware then I'll prob go with the bionic but if it isn't any better and I don't feel the need to have 4G then I'll def get the Droid 3.

    But for now I am still undecided. I can upgrade now or wait till Jan and get $50 off my upgrade. And who knows what will be out by then...
