So I waltzed into the local mall to pick up a book at Barnes and Nobles. When I was done I decided to swing by the Verizon store and check out the Droid X2 and Droid 3 screens, since they are both qHD pentile and likely comparable to what the Bionic is packing. I heard horror stories about it but decided to look for myself.
As I was walking in, a sales associate met me at the door and asked what I was coming in for. I told him I was just looking around for fun. He asked me what phone I currently have, and I told him I had the Bolt. We talked about it for a little while, then he asked me if I was looking for a new phone. I went into how I was a big Android nerd, and actually wanted to look at the other Motorola phone screens to get an idea of the look of the Bionic. He informed me that I had just missed the Motorola rep probably by about two minutes. The guy pointed outside and told me that the dude walking away was the rep, and he had just been shown the phone. Naturally, he was very impressed. Out of his pocket he pulled a few little bits of swag and showed them to me (probably to prove he wasn't lying). He took me over to his computer to put me on a mailing list for more details about the phone (which I am already on, but I was just entertaining his politeness). After that he hands me this little fake cardboard Bionic with a booklet inside filled with info about it, and a cleaning cloth with the Bionic logo on it.
I know none of this is particularly interesting, but the fact that the rep came in and showed off the phone makes me think we are on track for the 8th. Here are some pics, before anyone says "pics or it didn't happen!!!"
Got my photos uploaded to Flickr. In an effort to make this thread less of a pain to load, I'll just throw out the link to where the pictures are. Check them out here: http://www.flickr.com/photos/67039081@N06/sets/72157627565894586/
Like I said, nothing groundbreaking. But we have confirmation of 32GB of memory out of the box, some cool details about the Zumocast app, the dock accessories, and so on. Anywho, take a look, and get more stoked for this phone!
