Did he metion the part about the thing is going to be like 24 inches thick to fit it all in...lol
Just a few things to consider/clarify:
The bionic is being released with 2.2, aka no dual core support. Moto doesn't have a great track record for releasing updates in a timely manner so it will likely stay this way for a while. Additionally, moto has had numerous hardware issues with their phones so expect there to be some issues with the tegra implementation on the bionic.
That being said, it will preform better in gaming as well as 1080p playback then the thunderbolt, additionally it has a higher resolution screen, so if that matters to you, then its worth waiting for. The moto blur experience however, as well as the ram limitations will make the general usability less desirable then the thunderbolt. It isnt a smooth phone in the demo videos, optimized or not, a processor of that capability with ddr2 ram should not have issues moving between home screens or menus. As far as I'm concerned, if this is to be considered a top tier device, stuttery or laggy performance isn't acceptable.
The thunderbolt is in my opinion a more attractive phone, has very good hardware and strong software running on it. The processor overclocks extremely well (3k in quadrant), the new sense is feature packed and htc will be quick to keep the latest android on their flagship phones. Add in the simultaneous voice/data, improved rear camera, 1.3mp front, surround sound speaker and the ability to quickly and permanently root it, its not a difficult call to see why so many people are excited about the release and not impressed by motos offerings.
Just my little rant on things, take it for what its worth.

You don't have the right to tell me I don't have the right when clearly I do. My comments are of course based on countless talking heads (analysts) but also based on historical data from Apple products. iPhone 1 launched with Edge, iPhone 2 3G, iPhone 3 3G (again), iPhone 4 (3G yet again), iPhone 5 (still going on 3G, maybe a quasi bullshiz 4G that AT&T calls 4G when its 3.5G).

Have you heard the news ? ATT will launch Atrix 4G before 6 March , sometime around the iPhone or Thunderbolt launch on VZ .
I don't know about you , but for me VZ is starting to look bad as a carrier . They get a second generation Snapdragon phone months after other carriers , even T-Mobile got better phones for the last 3 years , months before VZ . Now they are launching a 9 months old iPhone and an old technology phone , and ATT is launching a dual-core , T-Mobile has a dual-core Snapdragon at his door and the Tegra 2 Optimus 2X while VZ is waiting for the summer to launch a striped down version of Atrix , and the Atrix possibly half year later .

Raptor...you could very well be right...perhaps she wont have LTE capabilities. But the last I heard it was going to have LTE with a NFC and dual core...where I got this info was from a apple fanatic who eats this stuff like sunflower seeds and then dumps out busted seed shells and sharp wisdom...So I could be very wrong, in fact I have read nothing about the new ipad or the new iphone so your word may very well be more concrete than mine.
But it could have all of those things. And I think that you have rights to say it...and Im sure the other guy was just busting your chops alittle. I think hes making more of a stab at apple than he is you...saying "What Steve Jobs says...goes"...just my take on it...
Aside from the fact that Job's right-hand man said no LTE for IP5...
The IP5 will NOT be LTE but those who have to have the latest will pay retail, anyway. Then the IP6 comes out next year and WILL be LTE, and those who have to have it, still under contract, will pay retail again. Why? Because I'm a greedy bastard, too, and that's what I'd do.

ahhh not so right here.... VZW has said it will have to be lte capable for them....internally and it will meet that demand..
Fact is the Bolt is delayed again .... a direct qute frommy time with VZW tonight " We will not release a phone knowing the IPhone could be returned. Afterall we get charged back 4750 for each device. Since we can't sell it certified or resell it as new. Apple is calling these shots"
So this is the second or third time I have had this conversation about the bolt........ Even bestbuy tonight shows a pre order but no release date ( I was there tonight too ) ..... so delayed now the when is not know but if I plyes the odds.... late february before the Atrix gets out on the market

Booo! Don't they know iPhone users don't want the thunderbolt even with its bigger gb's?
I know what Verizon has said about the iPhone return time period and the TB release but I honestly think it is slightly deeper than that. I believe Verizon is starting to get quite good at simply saying "nothing is their fault, it is always someone else". To put it simply. To me, they have been ramping up this way for awhile. It's great to never have to take responsibility for anything by always pushing it off on someone else.
