Can anyone talk me out of returning the Bionic

I personally have not experienced the data issue. It may be the network in your area. Can you switch to 3G or Wi-Fi at work? Another 4G phone may not be better until the 4G network is beefed up. Moto phones tend to have the strongest radios.

The Netflix issue is an app problem that Netflix will fix with an update.

I have had no issues with using non Moto chargers.

Bottom line, the Bionic is the best smartphone on Verizon today. It is likely that will change in a month or two when the prime comes out. And then a couple of months into the new year, something better than the prime will come out. It is a neverending cycle. If I always decided to wait for the next phone on the release schedule I would still be rocking a StarTac.

I am not so sure that the crackling sound while watching Netflix is actually an app problem. I had Netflix streaming on my phone while the audio was connected via bluetooth to my cars stereo and the sound was crystal clear. i would think if it were an app issue then the crackling would not only be through the headset jack but also over bluetooth.

Please pay attention: i have said this before and will say it one more time: Netflix has acknowledged that their app is the cause of the crackling. OK???

If you don't really like the BIONIC...take it back. You have a lot of choices (compared to the Iphone). Neither my opinion nor anyone's should make you like or dislike a phone.

Why have a thread to see if a bunch of forum guys can convince you to keep a phone? If the phone itself isn't convincing you, then get a different phone..... duh?
