There is a coupon starting the 9th at Costco that takes $120 off the Charge. I think i'm going to do that when the coupon starts. I'm not entirely sure though what price it takes the $120 off of because the website has the charge for $250 but idk what the actual Costco store sells it for. It would be pretty sweet if you can get the $120 off of the $250.

The front of the coupon says for all the phones in general " a new 2-year extension or qualified upgrade contract extension" "phone must be activated at Costco Wireless Kiosk at time of purchase."
The back says more specifically for the Charge "$120 off instantly with a new 2-year agreement and on qualified upgrade lines 1-5"

Picture of said coupon: Costco Coupon Book June 09, 2011 to July 03, 2011 - Page 5
My apologies if i'm not suppose to provide links.

I went thru link and all I saw was "up to $320 off cellphones with contract T-Mobile, Verizon AT&T". Are you sure the Charge will be included? Great deal if it is. I just stopped by Costco and salesman recommended the Charge over the TB. He did confirm the 90 day back guarantee. The price is $250 which is higher than amazon or wirefly but it does come with accessories like car charger, case screen protector, etc.

Edit: Also saw the Charge and TB side by side for the first time. The charge wins hands down as far as aesthetic value and the displays, its no comparison. Charge display is amazing.

Hi! How's everybody doing.

So new stuff: Demo unit models are on order. That means the hardware's done. Set. Ready to go. Looking toward a July launch.

wow sweet! I was dreading waiting all the way to mid AUGUST. hopefully they can do something awesome and make it come out early July(more likely end of July) but I can hope eh?. I can upgrade in August but honestly I don't care about prices, I'll pay full if it comes out then. 6 months of waiting has killed me.

Has Phil chimed in on this thread since wnrussell posted?

 

[spectre1006]

That's what i get for not reading the post above mine...

With Bionic news starting to trickle down now I am now trying to decide on what my next move will be. I like the specs of the Droid 3, even with no LTE (not in my area yet anyway), but if they stray from the pentile screens with their upcoming qHD screens I may hold out for the Bionic.

 

[Soapinmouth]

Yeah, you would. The Bionic is getting an MDM 9600.

the bionic is going to have an OMAP 44xx what are you talking about?

 

[radgatt]

Yes

If you look at the picture it shows the charge and mentions the charge. The person you spoke with at Costco did say that the exchange program works as said online? Check out this thread please and respond there. http://forum.androidcentral.com/motorola-droid-bionic/89019-costco-bionic-help-6.html

So this july release a speculation on the fact that demo units are ready or something that was an actual leaked estimated release date?

 

[anon(49997)]

You look better if you say August and release in July than if reversed, eh?.

 

[GBH2]

the bionic is going to have an OMAP 44xx what are you talking about?

Yes, it is getting the OMAP4xxx, they are talking about the LTE chip it is getting. They are 2 separate chips. The CPU and the baseband chip.

Yeah, you would. The Bionic is getting an MDM 9600.

I hear the LTE chip for the Bionic is from VIA Technologies, not Qualcomm.

 

[SharonW]

Ya... enough about Cosco, there is a thread for that. Enough about the charge, there is a thread for that.

How about some Bionic Pictures Oxn. Or input on the leaked renderings? which one do you think is Bionic, because HOFO is guessing it isnt the one we were thinking.

I agree with the new choice on HoFo. I also agree that the first one that everyone thought was the Bionic is a very close look alike to the Droid. In fact, someone put up a pic of the Droid against it and it was almost spot on. In fact, I put up my Droid next to a previously posted render and they were EXACTLY the same size and shape. lol You know what is spot on? The Droid 3. Go look at leaks on that. The bottom phone in the website leak is the Droid 3, and I'll bet anything the Bionic is the newly circled (or squared actually) pic on HoFo.

Here's the thread with the squared new choice:

Yeah Winston already said they are not using Qualcomm. Care to share where you saw that they are using VIA or did you read it in passing somewhere? Don't doubt you but I like to be informed.

Thanks!
