bionic retired? need quick info
- Thread starter 3sweeties
- Start date
^^^^^^^^^ They MAY be sold out right now due to the Father's Day sale, though. If you can get ahold of one, though, it's a real deal - if the maxx is top dog, the Bionic is next in line! I still like the idea of being able to replace my battery without risk of damage to my phone, in my experience they tend to start losing capacity right around the 1 year mark.
EDIT: I especially like the fact that I can buy a new battery for my Bionic for right around $6.00 on Amazon.

Comments for the above link seem to concur that these are the real deal, too!

Lol, I'm not criticizing the bionic, I still use one. I love it. Its got awesome reception, and its probably the more rugged of the 2, your always hearing about screens on the razrs, but not that often on the bionic

It's being retired in a certain way as it's now "free" with a 2-year contract so I presume people are jumping on the offer. The good news is that the Bionic Laptop was reduced from $199.99 to $49.97 (may be limited to in-store stock only).
And it's nice that an update for the Bionic is coming out next week or so. Take a look at http://www.droidforums.net/forum/motorola-droid-bionic/211119-905-soak-test.html

You know, I never even thought of the ruggedness. It is amazing how few busted screens you read about on Bionics. Maybe the RAZR is more prone to screen damage because the bezel around the screen is thinner? Now that you've pointed that fact out, i'm intrigued.
I think its due to the razr not having the steel chassis that all of its predecessors do, and its so thin and wide, so it doesn't have the rigidity of the other devices. The screen and the chips are the only rigid points on it. The Kevlar is just fabric and has no stiffness to it.
So it flexes and this exploits the micro fractures in the gorilla glass, and the weakness of the amoled screen.
This is my opinion though

well...
When I was ordering my wife's bionic a few weeks ago, verizonwireless.com showed it as unavailable for a few days, then I was finally able to order it on - I believe - Thursday. It is no longer showing up as unavailable, it's just not showing up at all, and several other phones are sowing up as out of stock. It may be that it has gone bye-bye while I was waiting to get one for myself. Now, since that one appears to actually be discontinued, I am thinking of getting a Charge. What do you guys think?
