    ICS is here!!!

    Trying to update via my device, it says it's up to date. Kies indicates there's an update, but it crashes every time it tries to install it. I'm in Louisiana.

    Keeping or Returning?

    Overall, I love the phone. I notice the screen, but it doesn't really bother me. The only reason my battery dies quickly is because I use Latitude, which tends to be 1/3 of my batter usage >_< Even then, I'm still getting 15+ hours out of it.

    What was your previous device?

    Also coming from the Storm 1. Thus far the Bionic has given me little reason to not love it.

    can someone confirm if BT tether works?

    Re: can someone confirm if this works? I've been trying the same thing between my Bionic and Galaxy Tab 10.1. Someone else said they got that working, but despite getting everything set up right (as far as I can tell), the Tab doesn't seem to recognize that it can snag data from the Bionic.

    Tethering plan limited to 2 GB :(

    When I got mine yesterday, the rep specifically asked me, unprompted, if I wanted the $30 unlimited tethering plan that I was eligible for since I had unlimited data. I turned it down, but the offer was there.

    Root to Tether

    Sweet. Gonna definitely give this a shot. Edit: I think I've done everything correctly. They are connected to each other, and everything seems to be doing what it should be, but I can't get the browser to actually work.

    The Official I Got My Bionic Thread

    Picked mine up about two hours ago. Took about an hour for the activation to finally go through. The rep started the process and sent me home with it while it tried to finish. About 30 minutes later it said it failed and prompted me to retry. Once it restarted it activated with no problem...

    Why you are getting the Bionic?

    I'm also in the "it's time to get rid of my Storm 1" boat. I was upgrade eligible towards the beginning of the summer, and almost went for something else until I did a bit of research. Wasn't expecting to have to wait this long on the Bionic, but I suspect it will be worth it. Definitely well...

    Upgrading from...

    I'm so sorry. I went through three new enV Touches in a week a while ago. Random reboots, turning off, screen locking...it was terrible. Eventually got the BB Storm1, which has made it this long, but it's on its last leg. I'm doing frequent battery pulls, and the GPS is all but shot. The...

    Two Verizon employees said Bionic was scrapped.

    My favorite was a few years ago when a manager tried to convince me that adding my own MP3s to a phone was really adding "third party software that's not supported" to the phone, thus causing the reboot/freeze issues I was having with the phone on day one. Three iterations of that phone later...
