A specific day...

[DroidnewVZ]

I'm really anxious for them to announce a specific day! That way I can go to Best Buy and get a phone told hold me over as long as I'm within the 30 days.

Hopefully they'll lay that on us in the next couple of weeks.

Thursdays in September are the 1st, 8th, 15th, 22nd, and 29th.. For the "summer part" to be true, it would need to be before the Autumnal Equinox which is September 23rd.

Bleh.. that leaves a lot of September to wait through.

My hope is they're shooting for the 1st in stores with perhaps Aug 28th pre-orders. That's only my uneducated hopes talking though.

Biggest thing Motorola could do to help itself would be to give us in the next 2 weeks or so:
1. A release date
2. The final specifications

Patiently waiting and NOT holding my breath.

I predict that that all will be revealed the week after next when the FCC doc's become public.

Verizon/Moto -- Re-Announce it on Monday August 8th.
Verizon starts on-line pre-orders on Aug 25th or Sep 1st
Launch Sept 8th or 15th.

Just my guess...

Might want to double check, last I checked the reutrn window is now 14 days not 30

If it's not released in the 1st week of September I don't even want to be anywhere near this forum. I will feel sorry for the admins/mods

I thought they were going to freak out when August 4th was a dud.
I just want it announced soon, or I'll buy a different phone, and maybe not go the Motorola route. I'd love to give them my business as long as the phone is announced soon and they stop teasing me

I heard that the Bionic will release either 9/1, 9/8, 9/15, 9/22, or 9/29.

"So Sanjay outed that the LTE chip is internal, guess he can do that.

let's see...
-Motorola did do their own GSM chip (see Milestone, Cliq, Backflip) but not a CDMA chip.
-You develop your owe chip to develop IP and get patents. If you wonder if that is important, ask HTC(believe they are paying Microsoft like $5 per phone and are in trouble with Apple) or Samsung (who is in trouble with Apple).
-Motorola also does their own PMU/Audio chip (see every high tier phone)
-The issues with the chip aren't battery (not that it is great though, LTE sucks mad power). Gen2 chips are still a year away.
-Do you want to know Verizon's busiest tower in the country? Libertyville, IL. And trust me, their LTE network has a long way to go.
-yep, 5 LTE devices this year. Don't ask, I won't say.
-and yes Bionic is coming. I don't know when, the date is a Verizon decision. A bunch have been built though."

So the release date is in Verizon's hands...way to go Big Red!

So sounds like it's pretty much ready and we just have to wait for Verizon to pull the trigger. I'm wondering if Motorola's own LTE chip offers any significant advantages over Qualcomm's chip?

Vzw will announced the bionic on Tues at midnight. Phone preorders go onsale Thurs at midnight. PHIL gets his test version Wednesday but can't talk about or give any tips till the following Thursday when phone pubilicy goes on sale. And the specs will blow us away.
