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

[jax_droid]

That is a good looking phone. Come on Verizon, we need the Motorola 4G phone YESTERDAY!

Still depresses me when you look at the Lineup of Phones Sprint and T-Mobile have or will have in the near future... Then you have verizon.... I am going to buy the Bionic no Doubt, but still not impressed with the "improved form factor". I would buy the photon over the Bionic based on design alone.

I'm jealous of the kickstand...should be standard on phones like this.

I know right?! At least companies make kickstands within cases.

The Motorola Verizon Fat Lady has still yet to sing! It aint over!

OMG!!! for once can we get a decent looking Moto phone, I know some people said the new bionic form looks good...... No the hell it doesn't. I want a phone that looks as good on the outside to compliment the specs on inside. then again some will argue it's all about the specs, that like having a Bugatti engine with a Mercedes interior wrapped in a prius body.

lol, I like that you stick to your guns GAPI. But I am 95% sure the pictures we have all seen in the past few days are the Droid Bionic. I almost wish you were right and a new design was revealed of the Bionic, I just don't think there is any hope for that.

But the design is something that maybe once I see it in real life, I will like it more. Pictures may not do it justice, here's to hope!

Thanks,
If you have a good investigator on your trail and the case is still open, just look behind you, he will still be there.

I'm sticking, and I admit I did not like the X2 as much pictured as I did in hand. C'mon fat lady!

So, unlocked bootloader on photon. I wonder what that means for the bionic

Oh snap. Where did you get that info?

Edit: Just saw it in the other thread. Nevermind!

 

[ShiZero]

FFFFFFFUUUUU - I'm this close to picking up a Charge and you tell me the Photon has an unlocked bootloader, and that the Bionic could soon follow? Why, Jesus, why!

 

[spectre1006]

Can we assume since the bootloader is unlocked on the photon, that the bionic will be that way?

 

[DolfanCole]

Can we assume since the bootloader is unlocked on the photon, that the bionic will be that way?

Assume? No. Because it's not only up to Motorola. It's up to Verizon. What Sprint and Motorola have done does not indicate what Verizon and Motorola will do.

 

[Stang68]

Exactly. Verizon is going to make this locked-down. Motorola never said they are unlocking all of their bootloaders.

I'm interested to see what the next HTC phone looks like on Verizon. Will it be locked like the Dinc 2 and the Thunderbolt? Or will it be open like the HTC CEO said about ALL of their future phones. That should be interesting...Verizon may never get an HTC phone again, unless they want to open the bootloaders...

I think we should be focusing the petitions on Verizon, not Motorola.

Update: Motorola confirmed to us that it’s their “intention to include the unlockable/relockable bootloader in software releases starting in late 2011, where operator and channel partners will allow it. However, this feature is not included in the software found on PHOTON 4G.”

Motorola Droid Bionic Coming with Unlocked Bootloader?

 

[lungspin]

I just read that motos PR screwed up yet again and the photon bootloader will not be unlocked
