Droid Bionics "unfixable flaw"?

[creaky]

I don't know wingdo....he's pretty trusty and is a Moto insider. He has always spoke highly of Moto devices and this is a first. It's reason enough for me at least to have a wait and see approach. I'm now officially out on this one but will watch the release.

I am not saying he's not a trusted source, but these are the two phones (Bionic and Atrix) Moto Mobility is putting all their eggs into. If these two phones go out amidst a big heap of failure I don't think it bodes well for the longevity of Moto Mobility. I cannot see them releasing their flagship phones if they won't even idle w/o severe overheating.

We will have to see. I have no desire to move to any other h/w vendor for Android, so this better be a big bit of nothing.

I sure hope so, wingdo. Let's remember the Storm 1 (the phone I am unfortunately saddled with). I think that was the beginning of the end for RIM.

Believe me guys I'm with you on this. I DON'T want this to be true but considering who its coming from I have to get up and walk away from the table.

I'm just as unhappy because this means I'm in for a long wait for a new device yet again grrrrrrr

Seriously though......all my considerations and ponderings about what phone to get next always end in my head with "but its just not my D1" :-(

Same thing I say everytime I consider my upgrade in a couple months. It's not a OG Droid. I just keep considering buying up a few OG Droids on Craigslist and have a D1 forever

Thanks for really bumming me out today CK

Seriously though, I just can't see Motorola releasing a flagship series of phones that are plagued with problems.

Really cuz the motorola droid 1 was plagued with headphone jack and keyboard coming unglued issues. The droid 2 and droid x was built better but motoblur causes the device to lag like crazy. I like moto but its like they take 1 step forward 2 steps back. You finally put out a better built device compared to the original droid and you crap on it with motoblur.

Ah lol.....no iPhone for me : )

Sorry to always bring bad news husker but its better to know what you are getting into rather than getting something and being told "yeah I heard that was going to be an issue " lol

I'm just saying! Lol.

I personally plan on getting one, but I will probably also get the Bionic if the vPhone 5 isn't LTE compatible.

 

[huskerkate]

oh, i agree! plus, you gots the connecks - gotta take the bad news with the good, right?!

 

[jaycemiskel]

Yeah. I put this in the other Bionic thread a couple of days ago and no one believed me. Everyone said there's no way Motorola would put out crap. So what are you guys going to get instead?

Well first I am going to see if the Bionic is released all buggy and whatnot. If it is, it won't take but a couple days for the complaints to start rolling in. At that point, I am not sure. I do not care for HTC's call quality compared to Moto, I won't buy Samsung or SE, which leaves either LG of hoping for a summer release of an LTE iPhone 5.

 

[cereal killer]

At least you have choices wingdo. I want to stick with a Motorola product......

Perhaps this will be a blessing of sorts when the Droid 3 is released as stock Android w/ an unlocked bootloader : )

Stock Android is a possibility unlocked bootloader is wishful thinking based off of Moto's retraction. Just thought I'd put that out there

Another thought: Since the Atrix will be released before the Bionic, I think we can get a good sense of what PMU problems there might be before the Bionic even drops.
