Bionic Docks for Car and Desk on Amazon

[mjforte]

I'd like a higher capacity battery but not as big as the Thunderbolt's that makes it ugly and fat. Maybe one that makes the whole phone as thick as the hump?

 

[SamuriHL]

I'm coming from an OG Droid, so I suspect even with an extended battery it'd still be "thin" to me. I won't miss the slideout keyboard one bit. I will, however, enjoy a bigger screen. This phone really can't get here fast enough for me. If the Sept 1 rumor proves to be true I may :'(

I would as well, but I'd like to see how the phone performs with the current battery first. Doesn't the Atrix have a 1900 battery? It definitely doesn't yield the results you would expect with a battery that big. The Bionic could do fine with what it ships with.

Yeah I may see how the stock battery does before I decide on an extended one. If it ends up being 1750mAh like it was when it hit the FCC, battery life should be decent, as it will have the biggest battery of the LTE phones.

Thanks. I've been around. I'm kinda quiet until I find something worthy of a post.

Well these two posts make me like you already, good find btw.


Now does anyone know if the Bionic will still have the Inductive Charging Back Plate?

I'm curious about what else it looks like is written after the "8MP"..... I can't make it out real clearly, but it almost looks to me like "1AF". Any idea what that refers to?!? I've never seen that before and when I tried to search on it, came up with some weird results so kind of confusing......

It is 8MP/AF
What you saw as a 1 is really a /. It just means Auto Focus.

Yeah it is as follows:

8MP | AF
1080P HD Video

Ok so i either missed something or amazon removed both docks. I cant follow the links at all and an amazon search doesnt come back with anything. I really hope im just plain dumb and missed something.

Amazon pulled them off the site.

I hope that is just a rendering. All that extra border around the screen makes me think it would be a long and wide unit especially if it is was 4.5".
But again Moto likes a strong build so we shall see. I just hope it will go in a pocket.
I also hope the trim is matte. I have had dash mounted GPS units with shiny trim that drove me crazy with sun reflections.

Still Waiting on the Fat Lady!

If the display silhoutte of the device is any indication of the device's size, then it's about as big as the DX. It will definitely be pocketable. As far as the trim, I hope so as well.

the border does look a little thick around the screen

Looking at the picture. I was thinking the same thing.

 

[mjforte]

Yeah unfortunately it doesn't look like in those pictures that it's 4.5. It's a shame because I really wanted the bigger screen. But 4.3 will do.

Isn't that the most God -Awful looking thing? I'm hoping, like you said, since the Bionic appears to have a slight hump at the top of the phone, with an extended battery and cover, MAYBE it will not be too noticable?

Yeah whoever designed that battery wasn't too concerned with aesthetics at all. I was thinking the same thing about the hump. Since the battery cover looks to take up the whole back of the phone, maybe it's possible to make it even with the hump with an extended battery.

Or make it like the droid 3 where you can barely tell its extended battery.

How were they able to do that?

 

[rkeller62]

They replace the whole back cover and it only adds a couple millimeters to the thickness.

Watch Phonedog's review on YouTube, he holds them side by side and it is hard to tell which has the extended battery.

I see that the camera on the D3 juts out in a rectangular fashion, and they were able to use that space to build the door around it. With the gradually curved hump of the Bionic, I'm not sure how that something like that could be done.
