New Bionic Specs?

Sounds like a beast. But if the bootloader is locked I will have to pass. IMO MOTO should go with the TI OMAP. They seem to perform great. Maybe just maybe Nexus 3. If so I will buy it outright full price.

Cool specs, but if it's Q3, I'll pass.

I'll be choosing from the best-of-the-litter in the next month or two. Moto REALLY blew their product timing, IMO - and so did VZW. Imagine if they dropped a Moto phone now that was even just close to the original Bionic specs? It would have been such a hit for VZW's LTE roll-out, and there's so little formidible competition right now (TB, Charge, some new 3G phones) Moto would be eating everyone's lunch. I know Moto wouldn't want to release the Bionic if it wasn't right, but this all just seems like a "Swing and a miss" for Moto.

I do not know how you can say they missed their Product Timing. There is no Dual Core LTE phone out there Yet. They can be the 1st and if these specs hold true it will blow every phone out there away even the GS2.. They said Summer so the Latest is September because that is the end of the 2ndQ. But I am thinking early to late August for the release...:)
 
Hey Preach,
I think they blew their product timing b/c I think there was a window of time (maybe we're still in it) when LTE hit, but VZW didn't have a strong flagship phone. Moto could have ridden that energy wave and VZW could of had a one/two punch.

Don't get me wrong, I like the TB and the Charge, but for me, they don't seem to have the same product splash that the OG had back in Nov '09.

Now, I think that the Bionic might be in the fray of dual-core phones later this year. No doubt, it'll be a fine piece of technology, but it will probably have to distinguish itself among a group of other good choices. It could have been "the only" choice if it dropped April/May.

Just my 2 cents.

I agree to a point but if it was released with a lot of issues then it would of been a flop.. I would rather they release it with the heating problem fixed. I do not care for the TB because of the Battery issues. The battery did not last all day. So I gave it to my friend who returned it. He is using his old Evo with Sprint going month to month until The Bionic comes out and i am using my Storm1 that is on its last leg.
 
It would be pretty funny if they revert back to the original name of this device and we see Motorola T1 Terminator Released. If in fact that was the original prototype name.
 
hmmm Bionic or Terminator...tough choice both cool names, how about the Bionic Terminator? lol I just hope it drops soon, I am really needing a new phone. But I know the way you guys are talking its gonna be late August.
 
lol I didn't think of that! its a great idea! Lets write to moto and tell them to change the name, I think they would be really receptive to your idea!...yeah right

The thing is, we've been hearing anything from Q2, to summer, to Q3. Let's remember that while it's not summer yet, there are only about 6 weeks left in Q2. I read somebody's prediction that it would release 3 or 4 weeks after the Dx2 is released (which the last I heard was online tonight and in stores next Thursday), so I really hope that holds true. I'm still on a Bb Curve and can't wait to officially join the Android community. But since I've waited this long, I have to ride out the wait for the dual core.
 
Winston25 over on Howard Forums, who is right all the time (as opposed to black_man_x being right most of the time), is saying that if he is referring to the Targa then he's off with his numbers.

I've read speculation elsewhere that this could be the specs for the next Nexus phone. I believe black_man_x eluded to the idea that Motorola might be making the next Nexus not all that long ago. That's 100% pure rumor from what I've seen though.

Droid Bionic is probably going to be released around the same time as the Galaxy S2. Hardware has been approved for GS2 and getting ready for testing. Probably will be released on Verizon in about 3 or so months. Who knows with Verizon though. Last in the game just to release the first Galaxy.
