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

So much talk and Pentile display... Would a Pentile display be a problem if the Bionic had a 4.5 inch screen? The main complaint about Pentile displays is that they're hard to read on...however debatable that is. But it shouldn't be a problem with a 4.5 inch screen right?... Moto currently doesn't have any phones with screens that are that size, but Samsung does. Why should Moto simply allow Sammy to have screens that size? Moto said that they were scrapping the Etna for a new Bionic with "more bleeding edge specs." 4.5 inch screens scream bleeding edge imo.
 
Woww... Okay. You obviously haven't followed the thread discussions or understand what some people have an issue with about Pentile. So without starting another Debate (because its been discussed more than the bible at this point). Go look at the DX2 Screen, If you like it then Great (I am one of those who really like Pentile screen, true colors, great outdoor viewing). Other than that, please dont open another discussion about it. :confused:

An increase in screen size would actually be worse. It's the sharpness of the display and the dithering that the pentile matrix uses that makes it difficult to read for some. And an increase in screen size would actually make the "dots" even more visible unless there's a corresponding increase in resolution.
 
Well, screen or no screen, I find it hard to believe that Moto (or any manufacturer) would develop a flagship phone with a BAD screen; it just doesn't make sense? With that said; I will be buying the Bionic because my Storm2 has out lived its usefulness, my NE2 is up, I am not leaving Verizon, I want a new phone, I do not care for the iPhone, I want a BIG touchscreen (no physical kb), and the Samsung GSII will not be LTE! I am counting on Moto to not disappoint, especially after all of this time!:)

@DolfanCole - Thanks a lot. That was the answer that I was looking for.

@Jasper - Really?

if it saves them money it makes total sense. They are not sticking with the screen because its an amazing display. Motorola is not in the best shape right now it stands to reason they are going to try and cut corners during these "lean" times.

Now a straight question with out starting the crap up again.

Is it true the Pentile is easier to read outside? I have not gotten to see one in sunlight and was hoping this was true. I am outside a lot and hate shielding my phone even in the shade to read it. Even a slight improvement would be great.

Watch this video in comparison to the Thunderbolt outdoors. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=voqpSWZ-EjY&feature=youtube_gdata_player

And this one comparing it to the Super AMOLED Plus on the Infuse : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g4rDyPaE-QQ&feature=youtube_gdata_player
 
No, no. Just made a bad joke. I'm getting restless since we haven't gotten any real information in quite a while.

for real... we all keep checking back to these forums and it's just more complaining about unverified specs or other banter.

Reminds me of the news when a major event happens but there isn't much new news and they just circle on the same bit of news for what seems like hours.

Motorola needs to give us a bone and let a "controlled" leak slip out... or maybe something
 
Like Winston25 from HF said this week - with all of the Verizon testers, leaks should start coming out soon. Hopefully by next week we will really start to hear something solid about the Bionic.
