Bionic's still coming, is defintely new hardware - XT875

[JagsfanJaxNH]

I don't even need to know the release date before 7/7....All I want is some concrete specs. The screen size is likely to be a deal breaker for me. If the Bionic is a 4.5 inch screen, then I will just get the charge, if the screen is 4.3 inches, then I will want the Bionic. I handled one of Samsungs 4.5 in screen phones for ATT at Best Buy this weekend and it was just too big. I don't want to have to get a man purse for the thing.

If only fanny packs were socially acceptable.

No one knows anything because Motorola isn't talking. Frankly, it's a little bit disheartening and makes me think they're really rushing to get this device to market. That combined with the news of a Nexus/flagship coming to Verizon with ICS in the Fall has made me pretty much completely give up hope for this phone.

Motorola had a sweetspot to release this phone, and that was in May. They totally blew that and heads should be rolling over there because of it.

The Charge even at 4.3" fit pretty well in my pocket. Maybe I don't use skin-tight jeans too much though

If you start wearing skinny jeans, you'll have to switch to an iPhone.

If I wear skinny jeans and switch to an iPhone I better grow some chin pubes.

Put an iPhone in this man's hand!

Don't forget the obscure music!

This article should shed some light on how Motorola is in a downward spiral.

Jha needs to step down or be ousted - he's only had one success, the OG Droid (which probably can be attributed more to Google than to Moto) and almost every decision after that - from Blur, to Webtop, to this latest non-existent LTE fiasco - has been a disaster.

The Droid was successful because of the insane amount of money Verizon poured into marketing the device, in combination with the fact that it was the only thing close to an iPhone on Verizon at the time.

Agree. It will happen. I give Motorola Mobility 2 years to oust him unless and this is a big unless he can turn it around next year and become competitive. They have A LOT of catching up to do. This year is done. They messed up and made their bed.

That and it is truly an amazing handset. The success of the Droid was just not marketing dollars.
