well, i disagree with you to an extent. certainly, us around here, and all the rumors, have created a lot of hype. but for me, it all goes back to Jha's announcement over a year ago that Moto was bringing a "superphone" to mkt before the end of 2010. not to resort to playground mentality, but Jha started it.
Motorola Developing 2-Gigahertz Android 'Superphone' - Mobiledia
and, just for giggles, i searched "motorola superphone", and one of the tags is a link directly to Moto's website for the Photon. so, imo, Moto has to take some responsibility for the hype machine that's been created, and whether or not they're living up to their own hype.

That superphone link doesnt say if its a Verizon phone or not. I think he was talking about the Atrix. Remember the Atrix was always scheduled to launch first vs. the Bionic.
The hype behind the Atrix is its supposed to be the "worlds most powerful phone"
Even still calling something a superphone and marketing it as one is 2 different things. Do any of us remember when the Atrix was shown off at CES? Winning an award? The hype after CES about it? How many of us thought the Atrix was gonna be a Verizon phone right up until it was shown off?
I never got that same feeling from Moto about the Bionic.
