Use some common sense. The Bionic is the dual core, LTE, flagship phone.
It isn't debuting at a price less than the Droid Charge.
Best of luck with that "optimism." But be prepared to shell out. The cost to manufacture and the parts in the phone itself probably cost more than $199.Well if the argument for pricing is ram then what about the photon, atrix, and evo? And what costs more, dual core or more ram? And I thought we all agreed most sales reps usually have no clue what they're talking about. If best buy had a price sheet I would think it would have been leaked by now. If moto is hurting as bad as they say they are I would think they're not going to sell an overpriced phone. This is all speculation anyway so I'm keeping with the glass Is half full theory and sticking with $199.00 - $50(ne2) = $150 of priceless bionic enjoyment.
And also don't forget that its BestBuy.
There prices generally suck.
For example: EVO 3D off contract Best Buy: 700
EVO 3D off contract Sprint: 550
Best Buy buys the phones from verizon they make zero dollars on the back end if they sell it off contract that's why the prices are higher, but most of the time their w/contract prices are same or better than the carriers.
I have some good news ladies and gents-it seems the pop herald says:the moto photon 4g on Sprint is considered the bionic on VZW-now the moto photon will b 199 on 2yr contract,so that means (r u sittin down?)the bionic will b 199 with 2 year contract.U can think me later.

The Photon is like the OLD Bionic shown at CES (model name Etna). The new Bionic is a whole new beast.

As much as I wish that were true, its not. There basically the same minus the network.

And the processor.

The photon has the same processor as the Etna. The same low quality FFC. The same screen size. The Same screen type. The same RAM as the Atrix. The same basic form factor of the Etna and Atrix. The same video capture rate. Etc, etc, etc.
Here are the 3 to compare them yourself:
