Droid Bionic price page up

[shipwrestler125]

Photon is going for $100.00 cheaper and it's the same phone. Thank you Verizon for nickel and diming your customers. It's much appreciated.

I am skeptical of the screenie though. What a surprise huh ?

The photon isnt the same phone. I know you will say it is but it isnt. Different processor, faster speeds with LTE, not to mention it has a kickstand and the bionic doesnt=P

 

[albertgeorge]

Yeah the X2 is missing from the thing, photoshoppppppppppppp

 

[modr0010]

Where is the Droid X2 on the side scroll bar of the phones too?

That's a good catch. Strange.

Where is the Droid X2 on the side scroll bar of the phones too?

Yeah, I didn't notice that but now that you mention it its gone. Looks like instead of photoshopping the entire phone list down one spot they just made it easy on themselves and moved the Droid 3 and Droid Charge down one spot and eliminated the X2

 

[albertgeorge]

The Bionic text is too big as well.

#1 and #2 are exactly the same on the D3. So basically, your big issue is that Battery Life and Price. It's $100 more for a Bionic. Yes, it's more, but remember you're likely to be using this phone for 2 years, so if 1.5 years from now having LTE is a big deal to you then why not spend the extra $100? To some it might be a big difference, but it's $100 over two years, pay for the phone that has a longer longevity.

Hope this helps or that you're happy with whatever phone you choose!

Best encouragement I can give you is: wait for reviews from sites that know what they're doing. If the Bionic performs as highly as it's priced, they will let you know.

Appreciate both of your responses.. I'm the type who really likes to wait for some solid sites to review before I make big purchases too... Just been waiting SO long to upgrade, lol!

I think like I said before I'll probably wait for the bionic and if unsatisfied during the first 2 weeks then I'll swap it for a droid 3... pretty much I'll just have my own 'review period' with it. Should have mentioned earlier the droid 3 is tempting for me since I come from blackberry land and am not sure how I'll adjust to not having a keyboard. Idk I guess I've waited this long I might as well hold out another week or 2 til this phone is out and try it.

More on the X2 missing:

There are currently 5 phones listed on there: Charge, D3, X2, Inc2, and Pro.

If you look at the scroll bars for the phones they are the same size, but there is one extra phone: the Bionic. There is no X2, at least not in the same order, so they had to change the order of the phones on the list (why not just add the Bionic on the top?) It seems like they got rid of a phone and/or reordered the phones.

Other big issue - the little symbol graphic for the Charge looks remarkably similar to the one for the Bionic, with the 4 white dots.

I want to believe, but...

Sorry guys, it's fake.:'(

Also, the Motorola logo on the bottom right where it says Droid Bionic is not consistent with the Droid 3/Droid X2 pages.

Yeah, I vote fake.

thats too bad. I just want some legit info for a change! Sucks for those of you who can't see anything good about this phone. I'm just glad I don't have unrealistic expectations and will be in heaven when I finally my hands on this phone.

I don't really understand what aanything on that page means. Can you please explain why it is fake?

 

[D1andOnlyOmen]

To add to the skepticism.....the phone to me looks like it has too much of a "shelf" right below the home button, etc......like they used the D3 and pasted the screen shot from the CES Bionic onto it. At least that's my thought.....

As for the specs, I'd buy the 2MP ffc, kind of hope that's legit, but REALLY hoping it's at least getting the OMAP 4460 running at 1.2GHz rather than just 1GHz. A better screen would be nice, but I could live with the pentile with these specs......

 

[albertgeorge]

Its fake guys. Honestly. Listen to me. Take a look at the bionic best buy flier, and then at this device. Nothing is consistent. This guy rushed this, good attempt though.

 

[tdizzel]

Starting to really wonder if I want to wait for this phone anymore.. $300 (well like $270 with my upgrade, big deal =\ ) is a lot for a phone that has so much going against it from the get-go.. the moto-blur stuff that everyone complains about (I'm coming from blackberry so bear with me), the pentile screen that isn't up to par with the competition, the battery life which, lets face it, is not going to be very good with 4g.. Plus I feel like I'll be able to use wifi so much that I wonder if I really will need the 4g so bad, at least with this generation of phones.

So I'm wondering if I should just grab the droid3 and be happy with it, I know its going to have a lot of the negatives I mentioned above but its half the price (maybe even free...my buddy just got one before they put up the BOGO deal so he might be able to go back and get another...)..

Can someone give me some encouragement to hold out and drop the cash for bionic or does my thinking seem rational enough? If I do wait for bionic I'm going to be giving it some CLOSE scrutiny especially battery life in the first 2 weeks and if it ain't worth the price I'm sure I'll end up returning it and getting the d3 anyway...

From what i've read about the new moto-blur, it is light years ahead of the old version. I have not read a single negative review of it from anyone who has actually used it.
As far as the screen, you really need to look at one for yourself. Go look at the D3 or X2. The people who don't like speak the loudest and most often, but if you read everything about them, there are some who hate it, some who notice it but don't mind, and some(like myself) who think it is a gorgeous screen and can't see any of the "pentileness" that people are complaining about.
Moto has always been near the top as far as battery life, but since this is their first LTE phone, only time will tell.

Also the screen is from a pic of the ces (etna) bionic. Clock says 3:00, go check out the ces bionic picture of the homescreen it says 3:00, they copied and pasted the entire homescreen!! Very lame, I liked the red icons, was glad they were back. Dissapointing.... I'm agreeing now, this is fake.

careful albertgeorge they will ban you from this thread for pointing out potential fraud. They banned me from the that mdb228 thread for telling another member the guy is a fraud and is taking him for a ride LOL

 

[albertgeorge]

Lol if AC actually belives this is real, they are ******ed. As for jasper, I pointed out that the blur on that page is the old motoblur, why would the bionic carry old motoblur lol

I thought it was pretty obvious. It was creative and cool, but clearly fake. This screen is clearly faked, but w/e...

I'll be sitting on my hands until i see some kind of comparison between SGS II and the Bionic...post release of course, not any of this conjecture you see all over the net.

I wasn't paying attention, was more excited about the specs. I'm not near my pc just was browing this on my og droid, after I started looking at the "leaked page" I quickly realized what others were saying. Nothing like getting all excited at 11:00 at night just to get shot down 2 mins later, reminds me of being married.O

 

[TheDave]

Thanks for the info guys!

I didn't even notice the things you pointed out, now that I see them I agree 100%

....too busy wishing this phone would just, I dont know, ACTUALLY HAPPEN
