We laugh but there are many truths to this statement...

Pffft Android. We have the iPhone now. What the heck was I thinking.

yes it seems that way any ways....If they might have put the SVDO chip in I might consider the iphone but no, thats what is holding me back on the x2 as well...

I for one am just ready for a dual core LTE Phone from verizon. If someone could poop one out for me that would be great. I don't care what it looks like, Hump, No hump, Plasticy, Metalic... Just give me a dual core phone with a gig of ram, SAMOLED +, qHD i dont care and you techies will figure out how to make the UI likeable, that I have no doubts.

UNFORTUNATELY I know our best and only hope in the near future is the Bionic, but how near is near, and how much have they done to increase the RAM without boggling it down with LaptopDock???
*sighs* i am not sure why but i hate when CK is right... Though there isnt a chance i would consider a 3G phone at this point, be it a SG2 or anything else.

what about it?

all it says is dont fear, its coming out in summer.

Which is totally meaningless in every way.

First we already know
2nd, the fear is which part of summer
3rd, another fear is it coming with tiered data
4th, moto is such a trashy company. If they didnt make such tank built devices i would never support them.

Ya- I saw one "tweet" that says Bionic will be coming this summer. That could be September 21st for all we know. I do not want to wait that long. I am this close to getting the Charge.

I finally caved and bought the Charge last week... which was a great decision for me. This Charge honestly does everything I want it to do so well... I think we're getting spec happy and losing sight of what's actually necessary for these devices.

I'm enjoying 16mbps download speeds and good battery life

Hey ellje- That is great! I totally agree that we all get spec obsessed and afraid we are not going to have the latest and greatest. The reviews on the Charge are really good. People seem to love it.

I just might cave in after this

I would love a Charge as well. I dont care much for dual core. I just want gold ole motorola build quality and 4G.

Honestly, if the Bionic were released tomorrow (which it won't be) I'd consider bringing the Charge back to give it a run... but simply because the specs are better. I'm not confident that I'd be able to tell the difference in performance, as I just can't find any lag or performance issues with the Charge already.

Perhaps if I were using my phone to play graphic intensive games (or any games, for that matter) the Charge would be ill-qualified... but I can't really speak to that. For day to day use, it's friggin phenomenal.

Congrats! The Charge is a great phone. I played with one early today and have to say I'm in love with that screen Glad your happy with your purchase thats the ONLY thing that ever matters . Are YOU happy with it...

Enjoy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I've been to my local VZW store twice in the past week to play with the charge. Honestly I have a hard time dealing with the plastic. IMHO it just feels very cheap to me. Especially for the price. My wife has a T-bolt and even though it too is mostly plastic it just feels better made. If tiered data comes before the Bionic is released I'm probably going to get a T-bolt. Am I wrong to feel that a $300 phone should feel like a $300 phone?

@Darth_Imperius Have no fear! DROID Bionic is still on its way. This Summer.

Yes a $300.00 phone should not have faux brushed aluminum kickstands on them

I acutally like how the HTC Thunderbolt feels like, i can imagine the Charge feeling like my little brother's Huwaei Ascend on Metro.

I take that back... I've never actually held the real coverings of it. I just remembered that my cousin has a case on it with a softtouch feeling on it.. lol. My bad

I will go out on a limb and say that the Bionic will be out June 30. I have no sources or any proof. It is just a sneaky suspicion. And if not June 30 then July 7. All hail the BIONIC!
