Robots Will Kill
I really wanted to love this phone but its going back tomorrow.
What I like:
-Motorola always does a great job putting large batteries in their phones... battery life was pretty good as expected with a 1735mah battery... but nothing that my rooted/custom Bolt can't keep up with.
-Call quality was excellent... another + that Motorola is great with... speaker volume was decent for the small speaker they used for the phone.
-The phone is nice and light and feels good in the hand... probably the only thing that I did like about the phone.
-I like the Gorilla Glass and overall design of the phone. The screen is great in the sunlight.
What I didn't like:
-Although Blur wasn't so bad... I could not stand the blue gradient and blue color tones that they used throughout the phone. From the notification bar to the dialer to the menu options to all of the framework... it was plain ugly... nothing a custom ROM couldn't fix though. I really tried hard to try and like the dark blue colors but it was driving me crazy.
-The colors on the phone were not accurate. It seems any color that has a mix of yellow in it looked darker or brownish. Most noticible were the lime green, light orange and of course plain yellow.
-The pentile screen... its not even that its pixelated or jagged looking but the whole screen has this cross hatch to it which I can't stand looking at. It visually looks like there's some kind of bad connection. It does wonders for the battery life on a positive side. My screen percentage was only reaching about 27% of battery usage where on my Thunderbolt it would be in the 70s.
-The camera is a disappointment. Pictures were coming out grainy and it was having trouble auto focusing.
My first phone was a DroidX which i loved.. it was a great phone. The only thing i didnt like about it was that it didnt have capacitive buttons. I really thought the Bionic would be the overall package but it was pretty disappointing. This is just my opinion and im sure most people will love this phone so dont go deciding based on what i say. Go to the store and try one for yourself and make sure you like the phone. Overall the phone is quick... nothing too special but I'll be sticking with my Thunderbolt for now until something better comes along.
