from what I have been told we will be able to keep our data. This is for new customers this is exactly what Att did.
was waiting forever for the HTC Merge that never happened so im looking forward to seeing this phone and if the keyboard is any good ill prob jump on it.
If you haven't seen pictures of the new keyboard it looks to be much, much better than the OG Droid and the Droid 2. This phone looks like it will be extremely solid and a top performer. I still have a tough choice ahead though, Droid 3 or Bionic.
While it is better..it's not by much. The keys still seem small and crammed together (although not as bad as the D1 and D2. I too was waiting for Merge but decided that, although I could find one through a non corporate store, I might as well not bother this late in the game.
Add that with the other downsides of owning a current day Motorola Android phone (encrypted bootloader, pentile display, MAP/Blur) and it's desirability drops further. I know Motorola says they'll change the former...but who knows if VZW would be keen on it...
I stopped into the Verizon store to look at the DX2 pentile display to get a better idea what the Bionic would be like 4.3" vs 4.5". I found the screen sharp, clear and easy to read. If I take a magnifying glass out sure I bet the pix-elation would appear but who views a display that way.
Can I output to HDMA, yes, its a bigger, brighter and sharper screen, dualcore processor, 16GB internal. Yes I would like to see more than 512MB of RAM but right now my Droid Charge has 512MB of RAM and oh 1.12GB of app storage. My Droid Charge runs just fine, I work, reply to email, games etc. 4G is coming for my market but I had time to use 4G last week and honestly for web surfing and getting email I didn't notice a big difference. IF I was streaming video sure I would but battery life just doesn't support that anymore.
When it hits I will check the D3 out I wanted something in the 4" screen with good overall specs, but if the Bionic actually comes out and has rockin specs I will go that route, maybe.
