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

And there I thought it was my router. It's been acting funny...dropping wifi. But, instead, we done broke the intertubez...well, at least the Bionic forums anyway. Gee, does this say anything about potential demand, ya think?

Just hit HOFO from link a page back. No issues. That thread only goes to 42, about 10 posts after wnrussell commented. Not really blowing up. Last post was like an hour ago or more.
 
Do we know for sure no 4G? Either way, people hear "new iPhone" and they become fruit zombies.
pretty sure they are going with 2nd Gen LTE radio because of design constrictions with 1st gen LTE radio.

Seems they would have had to conform to a certain form factor that they were not willing to compromise. More than likely thickness and screen size (speculation)

read up on Qualcomms MDM9600 and MDM9615 for more info
 
I wanna make a shout out to my friends, my family; mom i love you, and above all else my fans. You guys keep me going when the going gets tough. You guys give me a reason, a reason to live. Thank you all, and god bless you.

Oh...honey, darlin', bab...., you forgive me, don't ya? I retroactively thanked you. Yes, I did, I did. In both posts.

Here, I've got a nice shot of rum here for ya. C'mon now. Sit back in the recliner, let me bring you your slippers. O:-)

Is that your husband in the background with the flip cam?
 
We've got a "New Dual Core OMAP 44xx" per wnrussell. Hmm, curious he left off the last two digits. Does that confirm with 1.2?
 
Order of importance IMO:
1. Release date.
2. Android version (if it releases with froyo i'm gonna flip out).
3. Price- VZW's been inching their prices higher and higher while their competitors typically hold the line at around $200. If bionic has a $350 price tag, I'll pass. At $300 I'd have to think about it.
 
Oxn - I don't believe I ever explicitly doubted you but merely questioned the credibility since I noticed you had a low post count. With that said, thank you for posting the information. This thing sounds pretty impressive - would love to see a pic next.

Huh? Husband? Flip Cam? Good sir, I think you have mistaken me for some sort of old tech hussy. You are, of course, forgiven being the man of the hour and all and perhaps are suffering from a wee bit of PTSD due to all that nasty lynching talk. Hey, who started that anyway?

Have another shot of rum.

Well, in Sanjay's presentation today he did reference price points with regards to smart phones in general. He first talked about the past as in two price points $100 mid range and $199 high end. But then said another sort of "elite" was emerging and that the mid range was going down a bit, but the elite was around $249. That's the best of my recollection, but you could go to Mot's site and check out the archive from today's tech conference.

Or someone else who listened could confirm or clarify.

Battery (AB)use was the biggest one. Apple can accept some design changes, but wont accept poor battery life.

Oxn I stand corrected. I did doubt you, but you came through. For that I applaud you. Good work.
 
I'm glad we have confirmation but waiting all the till mid-August is going to kill me using this crappy LG enV Touch.......
