Bionic, Close to being cancelled

[jhowle9475]

I wouldn't hold my breathe for this device. During testing, major flaws were found and verizon/motorola almost scrapped the device. No promises that the device still won't be.

ummmmm its a whole different device......

CES "Etna" bionic WAS scrapped. This is the Targa now that took its place.

Agree they completely changed the device including the design and processor. It is definitely coming who knows when though.

Substantiate your claim please?

Probably using outdated information.

this is from a verizon rep 2 days ago

Yes, and Verizon reps usually know less than the folks on these forums.

You're commenting on extremely old info. The old Bionic has since been scrapped and we're looking at totally new hardware with the "Bionic" name tagged on.

Again we say it over and Over again Verizon Reps do not know anything!!! They will tell you anything to try to sell you The Thunderbolt or another phone. I actually showed a rep today the phone that was coming. The one they said was scrapped was the Original CES one not the new one coming in Mid August. Never believe a store rep.

The only verizon rep I've ever met that knew anything about upcoming devices spends all his free time between here and hofo.

What is this "Bionic" you all speak of? It is not on Verizonwireless.com so I do not think it is a real phone. They would tell us if another better phone is coming right? LOL

Verizon reps do not know what phones are being released until they get info for training. I know because I used to sell wireless for an indirect and we got the notice on them the same time and the same way.
