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

[Jasper]

End of June seems like nothing compared after months of waiting and with speculation that an August/September release was looking likely! I can hold on to my dying D1 for a month no problem.

According to Wnrussel over at Howard Forums it will not be out in June, or even July for that matter. Two months after Droid 3 is released, soo... at best we are looking at early august. :'(

Targa drops two months after Droid 3. No LTE for D3. This one will be worth the wait.

Motorola's new Droid Bionic (Targa) pre-release thread - Page 27

Ya I know. I should have put an "if" in my wishful thinking. I was enjoying a moment of false hope. :-!

Anything after June and it better launch with GingerBread. Ill give them a pass if it goes out with froyo in June or early July. But really let the revolution be the last new device with froyo.

I have to say I am impressed at how well Moto has kept the Bionic under wraps over the past month or so. Has been sealed up tighter than a cows arse in fly season.

We still have no clue if it is running Tegra or Omap, how much ram, locked or unlocked (we assume locked), motoblur or stock (assume motobloat), cameras, or what it even looks like. They have done very well to keep anything out of the public eye, which really ticks me off!!!

F the Bionic

Who wants to wait 3 months for another core that you might use on a few gaming apps?

I just spent lunch today getting the Charge- I love it, and it does everything the Bionic would do if it ever sees the light of day.

Enjoy checking websites and scrutinizing rumors- I'm off these sites for at least a year and a half!

you lucky bum. You have more courage than any of us. Charge is a very nice phone. I also bet with the the supposed power dual core have over the rest of the 4g phone, the power will never get used anyways in its lifetime. It jus going to be #s to appease the tech junkies

 

[huskerkate]

don't be jealous. in 6 months, every single core phone is going to feel like an Eris, Ally, or BB Curve does right now - woefully outdated.

 

[Castor Troy]

and Ice Cream Sammich comes out and they don't get it......

Then we can stick our tongues out and say "Remember Dual Cores are over rated and there really isn't a need for them."

 

[Castor Troy]

All this hubbub about the Bionic don't forget about the Nexus 3. Quad Core w/ Ice Cream anyone? Some say it will be another HTC some think it's Moto's turn. LG is yet another possible name to throw in the mix.

But this is just straying off topic

 

[Oxn]

Hey CK you said youre most likely getting the SGII when it comes out cause you know you want the best. So say it does come out in lets assume October, but there are alot of info surrounding quad core and they expect to release a tegra 3 phone in Dec. What will you do? Just a question for my curiosity.

Just to keep off topic, did you catch this tweet??

@black_man_x: ?So @googlenexus now we have moto for hardware can we get said device on the usa?s biggest cdma carrier?? Nexus Droid 4G sounds nice?

Pretty vague, but can certainly read into this... as you can with any statement.

Darn good question too I was just thinking about this scenario when I posted. I'm going to wait on one piece of info. Will it release on Verizon. If so I'll wait for it. I think LG is the maunufacturer this year which is a little concerning seeing the QC issues they are having with the G2X. The Nexus has always been my ultimate device to own so we'll see....

I will say it will be VERY hard to pass up the GS2 if a Nexus handset ever see's life on Verizons network. VERY hard. It's been getting some rave reviews and people are claiming a butter smooth operation like iOS.

Ha rate I'm going you're probably right lol

Okay, cool, thanks for the update! Does this mean you just haven't heard anything more about it being in June, or you have pretty solid info that it definitely WON'T be June? Sorry, not trying to nitpick, I'm just making sure I can get in before unlimited data ends, and if it definitely won't be in June then I may as well go ahead and upgrade, considering unlimited is likely to end in June.

So, Charge or Revolution?

Im still speculating unlimited will end after i5 or bionic drops. I still dont see any other reason for vzw to wait at this point. I'm willing to bet originally they figured these phones would be out and they would be able to capitalize on an impeding doom, errr, impending tier plan. If they switch now, people will run out to stay unlimited rather than go tiered, therefore hurting sales on new equipment. They already have us by the froyos, but they also know unlimited is too good to lose. It would be smart business on their part to release their flagship devices with the fact that tiered follows right behind. They don't want to turn us off on future gear like bionic or i5 due to the new plans. I'm also willing to bet moto or even apple doesn't like that. Especially moto. They have surely gone over budget and will not want to lose anymore sales than they have too.

There is some speculation in how they drop tiered. Lot of research going into the impact of tiered on att.

The Bionic is a myth....
