Edit: Also, my biggest issue with the whole "towers" defense (get it?), is my Rezound never ONCE dropped data OR calls. If it was TRULY a tower issue, then all LTE devices would suffer equally. It just doesn't add up....
And you're sure they didn't change the negotiation protocol for newer phones but since the Bionic hasn't had an update in about 6 months(I think) those benefits aren't realized. Of course, since everyone will simply say that the Bionic sucks you'll never be convinced. The point I'm trying to make is that even if you have 2 cell phones next to each other on the network, you cannot, and will never, be able to definitely prove if it was the phone or not. For all we know Verizon deliberately changed something that makes the Bionic suck JUST so you'll buy a new one.
Anyone ever trying to point blame at who/what the cause for the 4G issues is very ignorant of the actual demands placed on wireless signals in a nationwide network. I guarantee nobody in this forum has the necessary hardware to actually do signal testing and be able to prove that the phone itself is the issue.
Here's another conspiracy theory to think about: With all the BS going on, are you REALLY going to tell me that Verizon isn't somehow deliberately(or accidentally) making Bionics not work? What do they have to lose from you buying a new RAZR-M at full price? 90% of the people I know that have VZW won't go to AT&T, they'd never want to admit it was the network or something else that is out of their control.
PS - I've never had problems with 3G or 4G anywhere I've been.
Edit: This isn't any different than ICS coming to the Bionic. Who is to blame for ICS not being released? Feel free to back up your claims with solid irrefutable evidence of who is to blame, not conjecture and information "from a source at Motorola". I want hard evidence. You'll be hard pressed to firmly blame either side. We only have one side of the story.. we're customers that have been promised an update and haven't gotten it. The only people that likely have the "whole" story are maybe 5 in the entire forum, and they likely haven't told the whole story because you can't write a soap opera of drama in a small forum post. Not to mention they are probably sworn to secrecy.
