Comparison of Bionic, iPhone, and Thunderbolt

Verizon Droid Bionic vs. iPhone 4 vs. HTC Thunderbolt

Only fair comparison will be to use the iPhone 5 specs that were leaked... and honestly they are impressive.

iphone4, iphone5, iphone6, doesn't mean diddly to me--I'm not an Apple fan.

how would that be fair? it wont be out for another year.

The iPhone 5 will be out this year. End of June is the normal time.
But the person saying that it should be compared to rumors. When apple makes an announcement it can be compared to what is avail at the time.

I don't agree and don't see how it is possible for the battery on the HTC TB to have better stand by and almost as much 3g usage time as the Bionic with almost 50% more batter capacity. May be true, but I have to see it real world to believe it.

It says that the Thunderbolt doesn't have an HDMI port. That doesn't make sense.

I'm not an apple fanboy by any means, but iPhone 5 specs have been leaked at least as far as processor (dual-core A5).

It will be out a month or two after Bionic.

I agree it is a good bet that it will come with a dual core processor. But until WWDC comes and they announce it then it is still a rumor. And if the dates for mid to late April come in then the Iphone 5 will be 2 full months behind it. Since it comes out late June normally. And at the rate of things in android there will already be another Moto handset announced with specs that will come out in Q3. Can we say X2? Since it has already been rumored and 1 year from the X would be July.

and I bet it will still have the same lame notification system.

when they fix the notifications, add Flash, use a 4.3" screen, use a louder speaker, I MIGHT someday consider a Jesus-phone. Right now, Jobs hasn't made a version of it that I like.

OMG Dave, I never thought I hear those words from your mouth!

You have to take it in context!!! I don't think those items will all make it to the Jesus phone, in my lifetime. For one thing, Flash NEVER, EVER will.

I'm leaning towards the Bionic at this point. The HTC Thunderbolt looks nice too...I am still a little confused about the Sense & Blur, but it seems as though there are "widgets" that can be used to create a kind of theme. I was also told that I could still use my comcast.net email address, but I am still confused about the number of folders available for messages...hopefully it sorts the emails/text messages into different folders? I have a few months to learn!

as always, my final decision will based on my hands-on experience with the phone. Having said that, I can't think of another phone that Verizon has announced, that I'm interested in, as much as the Bionic. Not even close, AAMOF.

Same here I'm looking forward to the Bionic but need to see more before I leave my DX. Also there was rumor of NVIDIA and quadcore processors for mobile phones? Might have to wait and see what that brings as well.

Figured I would edit and give a source

Tegra 3 Going Quad-Core Later This Year with HD Display Support | GottaBeMobile

LOL! I can't wait for quad-core! (what I MEANT was, I'm not going to wait around for a quad core phone. I want a Bionic ASAP)

 

[Bushido Brown]

NVIDIA is already old news. I'm waiting for Pentium to make their mobile i5 chips.

 

[thebizz]

The bad thing is shortly after release the tegra 2, will be old news everyone will have a dual core processor out shortly after launch. I would love to see how everything fares and whether this chip is worth all the hype
