As a woman, I suggest you wait until the Razr comes out and then compare. I bought the Bionic last week, and I do like the Bionic, but I just don't love it, but I can see why some people can. For me personally, the repeated black screens, reboots, the terrible battery (and I have it on 3g mostly), and the heavyness to it have contributed to my decision to return it. My old phone crapped out, so I needed a phone ASAP and decided to give the Bionic a try. And while it's a good phone, it's not for me. So I'm going to use my sister's old crapberry until the new phones come out and then decide from there what to get next. If she's not into having the most recent phone, she'd probably like it. I heard a guy talking at Verizon yesterday saying he wanted the Bionic because it's the best phone around and will be for a while, I wanted to whisper about the Razr and Nexus but I was worried I'd get kicked out. :-*
Oh and if she likes to have a decent camera on the Bionic, I'd definitely wait. The camera isn't completely terrible, but I like to use my phone for photos a lot and out of 5 shots, maybe 1 will be a decent one.
