The battery itself won't actually increase in size. However,top the operating system will more effectively use the battery within the phone. On ICS I can get about 15 hours or so with the bionics battery without having to charge it. It'll depend on your cellular signal, WiFi, and usage.

I never used the bionic, but if that screen is anything like the x2 screen, it wouldn't work out for me. After my x2 i vowed to never get another motorola lol (my x2s screen was terrible for me). I doooo love my RAZR, that being saif if the bionics screen is ok for you, it's a lot cheaper and the ability to remove the battery is huge imho

No I flashed one of the leaks onto it. I would strongly suggest just waiting for the ICS update to come out - it should be just a few weeks now.

And there are 4 extended batteries available for the Bionic. Two are made by Mugen; one is small enough to fit in the OEM space while the other is very thick. Seidio makes one that's slightly smaller than the largest Mugen.

IMHO, the best one to get is the Motorola extended battery. For one thing, the software and Motorola accessories are designed with that battery in mind. The other thing is, at $25, it's the cheapest one.

I understand what you're talking about. When I was waiting for the Bionic to come out I heard it would have a pentile screen so I went to the Verizon store to take a look at the X2 with a pentile screen and I was horrified with the screen door effect and it I was worried that the Bionic would have the same problem. Turns out the Bionic does have a pentile screen but the screen door effect is considerably less noticeable on it. You can see it a little bit but you have to have a solid green color and really squint to see any hint of it. To me it's been a non issue with everyday use.

If you can, hold both and see how they feel in your hand. You're the one that's going to be using it.

That's why I prefer the bionic I do not like the super slim feel of the RAZR feels weak even though I know its not.

When I got my Bionic in April the deal breaker was Bionic $45.00 Razr Max $299.00
Of course they are both cheaper now and it woulsn't supprise me if the Bionic never sees Jellybean just because Verizon want's your $$ when you buy a new phone.
