According to a DroidMatters report, sources within the industry have confirmed the Droid Bionic's full marketing campaign will launch on Friday, August 26th, and the phone will actually release on September 8th. Furthermore, pre-orders will supposedly start on September 1st, and Verizon stores should start receiving marketing and release materials today or tomorrow. Also, according to other sources, it appears that the Droid Bionic video that briefly showed up a couple of days ago and was then pulled, was actually a valid commercial for the device, and that it was likely posted too early.
