Well this is my second time writing this message - my computer decided to re-boot in the middle of the first - lol.
Speed - Fast as fast can be. Uber fast. Amazingly fast. Apps load instantly. Browsing is instant. I've streamed media from my computer to the Bionic and it's terrific. I've played Netflix and things load fast. For those who want a faster phone there is no need - you won't notice any speed that is faster than the Bionic - it's almost instant on everything.
Screen - I read so my stuff about the Pentile that I was ready to really look at it hard. So far I'm very satisfied with it. Is it the best? No. Is it so good that you won't really notice it after a day? Yes. It's just like buying a TV - you can see a million in the store that all look different but if you buy a good one you never will notice. I'm happy with it and the power consumption is tiny. Battery - Very Good. I did have it plugged in 2 hours ago so it reset the stats but over the last two hours I've played video's, looked at live weather radar, emailed, talked on the phone and these are the stats..2 Hour 35 Minutes at 60% now (don't remember where it was when it started - probably 70%) Screeble Lite 85%, Cell Standby 6%, Voice Calls - 3%, Phone Idle 3%, Display 2%. That's it. This phone really uses the battery well - having Screeble being the #1 is unheard of and the Screen which has been on for at least 45 minutes at 2%? WOW. Form - Love the way it looks. It's shockingly light. It feels very nice in the hand and I like the feel of the back when holding it. I don't notice the hump at all. It's very sharp looking phone.
Calls - Very clear. Better than my OG Droid. They could be louder but they are good enough. I love the Motoblur widget that lets me have my favorite contacts at the top - I'd have paid for it. Bloatware - It's annoying but at the same time there is so much memory who cares.
Sound - Wasn't impressed over the OG Droid until I found the setting to increase the Bass. Now it sounds FANTASTIC. Should have come out of the box this way.
Complaints :
1) Apparently there is no way to put up picture frames of my kids like I had with the Picture Frame widget from the OG Droid. That's real annoying.
2) Memory. It uses 8 Gig out of the box. Then you have three places where things are stored. The phone, sd-ext, and sd. Don't even ask me to tell you where to put things. I will tell you NOT to use AppsToSd because it will put them in the wrong place and your apps will vanish.
3) Setup - Took too long to re-set up my mail and music. Standard probably with any phone but it was annoying. Overall - Love it. Keeping it and not looking back.
4) Dock - The clock/Alarm stinks compared to my OG Droid and it's WAY too bright.
