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

[Droid800]

I'm going to hold judgement until I hear some specs but I understand where you are going with this.

The only way I think they could pull it off is if 1) The specs are incredible, and 2) Verizon dumps money by the truckload into marketing and gives it wall to wall commercials until launch day.

Since it will be bumping up against the iPhone, I don't know if they'll be able to pull number two off. (Their hands may very well be tied by Apple). Number one is a little easier, but they're going to have to have some headline features that will set it apart from others.

Wnrussell has spoken. Targa will drop 2 months after d3. Claims it will definitely be worth the wait

That seems like so far away. I will be waiting, unless the VZW Galaxy SII drops first, which I doubt.

i was already expecting late august, hell even september, so this aint new news to me.

However i may consider the droid 3. Although its pretty ugly in what weve seen already

ugg August...really..thats a long time wait..

 

[Oxn]

Actually if you trust these sources 100% and you do the math, at the earliest itll come out is LATE AUGUST.

4-8weeks for D3, which at 4 weeks is = to Late June

+ 2 months after D3 for Targa = Late August (best case senario).

If its 8 weeks, thats an additional month which basically puts it at SEPT 21, the last day of Summer, hahahaha

I love you Motorola,

I can see a near simultaneous release. With android coming up and then iPhone leveling out in popularity, anything can be possible. Plus I wonder what goals verizon has in reference to business numbers. I also wonder if they are even accurately forecasting their numbers.

If it is Simultaneous or not People are going to buy what they want the iPhone 5 or the Boinic/Targa. Me personally I will stick with Android...

Where did August come from? I don't see that mentioned in link.

Also, on a side note, with all respect Phil- this thread started off with a bang, a little publicity- and here we are 2-3 weeks later with no news and people mentioning August. That's a little different than "leaks should be coming any day now"

August is when I think it would be released. Early August to Late August.. I would be surprise if it came out late July and disappointed if it came out in September...

I don't want to wait any longer but I don't want something that I may regret. I'm stuck between a rock and a hard place. On a side note...I like the new mobile forums look.

The droid X2 is looking better and better everyday now....

that's how i feel right now, with the release of the LG Revolution tomorrow and the option of the Charge.
i really cant see waiting till Aug...i will have a new phone before June is over (ahead of tiered data).

:-\ sad because i really want the Bionic to be my next phone :'(

I am in the same boat. Although, I will also consider the X2...

Gizmocrunch is not a credible source. They claim the Revolution has 1080p video capture (not possible) and that there is an LTE version of AT&T's Samsung Infuse.

one thing good about iphone 5, is that its rumored to have both GSM and CDMA antennas. Thatll be great as now the phone wont be tied to one carrier.

I couldn't agree more. I'm still waiting a bit, since Phil acted like we'd be hearing something official very soon and we've only just now got wind of a leak suggesting August at the earliest? I'll have to wait and see how that plays out, I would assume we'll get some more info fairly soon that would back up either Phil or wnrussell and give us a better idea of when we'll actually see this hit the market.

If I do see enough info to convince me we won't see it before August, I see no reason not to go ahead and buy. Once the Rev drops, I don't expect we'll see another LTE device before the Bionic, and August is a hell of a long time to wait, especially for someone stuck with a dumbphone and who doesn't want to risk missing out on unlimited. Its not likely that unlimited data will stick around till August, and I'd really like to have an LTE Android device of my own to enjoy this summer. Unless Sammy drops a bomb on us and the GS2 ends up having LTE, which is highly unlikely, looks Iike I'll be getting the Charge. Unless of course the Rev offers some significant advantage and has a great screen of its own...

I was thinking about the dual release and unlimited data. If there was a dual release along with an announcement of tiered plans, im willing to bet android and iphone fans will be chomping at the bit to buy and upgrade. I think vzw might actually be willing to take the risk on this one. It will be a win win for vzw regardless of what us sheeple choose.

Long time lurker, YO!
I thing for those of us that can wait, will be rewarded with solid hardware and maybe an unlocked bootloader that moto talked about months ago. What up now?
