Should I sell my Bionic and get a Galaxy Nexus

If you're into cool, buy an iPhone.

I won't! Maybe the quad cores coming in the spring when ICS is ironed out...

 

Too many issues with the Galaxy so far.
Seems to be a very buggy device.. we'll see what the reality is in a couple weeks when it hits the streets.

 

Really....buggy huh...where did u get that info

One major bug. Not on the lte version. And it is already fixed.

Should I wear a blue tie or a brown tie to work tomorrow? Everyone tells me I look cool in a blue tie.

 

I remember when this same issue came up and people where excited about getting the "pure google" experience from the Nexus one....people were trying to figure out whether to dump the original motorola droid for the nexus one....

The original droid was one hell of a device.....The bionic is one hell of a device (if you are not plagued with some reported issues)

The Nexus one failed.....lack of advertising, lack of a predecessor & mostly it failed because it could only be purchased online and not have the pricing subsidized with a contract....

A quad core 18 mp 5 ghz newest greatest whatcha-ma-jig sounds fantastic but there's lots to consider about those statements...

A dual core is useful if ya do a lot of stuff....4G LTE offers great access and multi-tasking the proper way on a CDMA device....an 8 mp camera is great, but if the 8 mp camera and the previous 5 mp camera have the same size sensor in the hardware you are not increasing the quality, you're just cutting the pie into more slices but you still have the same size pie (in this case the diameter of the pie available is dictated by the size of the sensor)....

When laptops were first released with dual core processors it was funny because everyone was soaking them up but in reality, unless your software had been written to take advantage of the available processes the dual core handled you wouldn't get a performance difference except in very limited occasions.....

It's all about preference and understanding of the tech your money is buying-to me the nexus looks ugly, nothing sexy about that device.

 

I am considering dumping the bionic for the nexus if I don't lose too much money in the process. The bionic overall is a great phone but Motorola/Verizon is not getting updates out quick enough. There is already an update for the nexus and it isn't even for sale yet at Verizon. ICS with an unlocked bootloader makes it even more tempting. I knew the bionic would have a locked bootloader. The bionic is fine for most people that do not care about the bootloader, custom roms, customer kernels and such. Unfortunately it was bad timing for me. I couldn't wait for a phone. The selection of LTE phones was slim and the bionic was the best of what was available.
