Seems incredible that I paid $300 on launch day. I kinda wish I had waited for the Nexus but hind sight is always 20/20 I guess.

I paid $300 on launch day and have no regrets. I know exactly how the system works. Great phone. Love it.

I have 3 Bionics. I paid $300 for one, $200 for the second, and $50 for the third. I have no regrets. In fact, I would buy another if I needed one. The Bionics work. dancedroid

on the bright side this will convince me to wait for the next phone to drop at least 100dollars off it first.

Would you have paid $400 for it? $500? The reason carriers charge so much is because somebody will pay that price for it. If I were Verizon, I'd only accept sealed bids for the fixed initial batch of new phones I release. Only the highest bidders will get the phones, until I get more supply.

I didn't pay $300 for any phone, and I have no regrets too.
$100 is about the most I'll pay, and that is only if I am desperate to get a new phone, and I can play the waiting game with Verizon too until the phone becomes free.

And if everyone waits, the price will crash from $200 to free in 5 months, like the Bionic just did.

All Bionic items? I could only find that the standard battery was on sale. Do you mean go into the stores or do you mean on their website?

Go into store. Extended battery is 50% off and the docks were 30 or 40 percent. I got the hdmi dock car dock extended battery for around 100.00

Does anyone know how much the HD Station alone is? I'm about to get $60 for allowance and I've got $40 saved up already, but I'm more looking towards getting a pair of Turtle Beach's for the xBox..

In the span of 5 Months, this phone went from $199 to Free. Wow....

When it comes down to it, price changes don't mean s***. Proof: the Charge was still $299 when I bought my Bionic. That means in the span of...what? 4-6 months? That price went from $299 to....$299. And most I think will agree that is one of the WORST phones being offered right now. So, quality =/= price change. It's all about marketing and money, and the Bionic lost its marketing edge. If anything this price drop means it actually is a great phone and people should use it, despite the one major, more widespread issue that plagues it to this day. Man I miss my Bionic...
