[Rumor] Motorola Dinara to follow Droid Bionic in late 2011

[EFGantry]

While the Droid Life article says it's being tested for Verizon, I believe there was also speculation that this would go to AT&T (unless I'm getting mixed up; it was also said that the AT&T phone, being tested by Winston over at Howard Forums, that had a 13mp camera). Perhaps someone with a better grip on these rumors can set things straight.

Also, with all the wait for the Bionic, would Moto really follow up 3-4 months later with a phone that blows it out of the water? Maybe, we'll see....

Also, Ion't like the idea of a non-removable battery. As someone posted, with no battery pull, that makes modding trickier....

Winston25 at HoFo was pretty adamant that this phone is being tested for at&t. but, that doesn't mean it won't come to VZW. if this is truly going to be marketed as a super phone, i would expect it to be released across multiple carriers. what we'll probably see is a Q4 release on at&t, followed by a release on VZW in early '12 - giving about a 6 month window between the Bionic and Dinara. This would make sense, given that the Bionic was originally scheduled to drop in early Q2, followed by the Targa (as an upgrade to the Bionic) in Q3.

I would definitely like to see my Bionic in my hands before you start telling me about the next phone. >_> I have a trip in august to vegas and tx and I would love to be showing off my Bionic out there. GIVE ME MY BIONIC!!!

Vegas and Texas?

I wonder if Apple has a trademark on their internal, non-removable battery?dancedroid

Motorola can't make a phone with a non removable battery. In order to do that, they would have to build a phone that doesn't freeze up and require a battery pull

I'm sure if Motorola is serious about sealing the battery, there will most likely be a way to hard reset the device.

for real


Also the way these thing eat batteries, some people use more then one. I use an extended in my D2. Very bad move IMO and I would never buy a phone with a non removable battery.

I dont understand why these people cant just make a phone that doesnt have at least one major flaw. Im supposed to be choosing between the features I want the most, not ones that I dislike the least.

Yes, it's coming out tomorrow, be at your local VZW store EARLY. If they look at you funny when you ask for the Bionic, don't put up with it, ask to speak to the manager. Everyone knows they have two cases of these babies in the back room.

Sweet! I'm camping out all night outside the store.
