lol. And? It works.

(And MotoMaker not yet available on Verizon - Moto X is my next)

My bionic is still going strong and loving it.

Same here...once we got off .905 with ICS everything just worked.

Then Punit made sure Jelly Bean came our way!

I had some reservations on JB because they completely broke the stock Swype keyboard in the stock web browser (but worked fine in Chrome and other text entry apps), but I found Swype's stand alone keyboard app in Play and it works mostly perfect. That, plus the extended battery, being rooted and now able to reduce screen brightness below stock OS levels really breathed new life into the phone for me. Not so much getting extra performance, as just getting rid of several little headaches that made using it even better.

I'm another still hanging on with the Bionic. Though I have an upgrade available, and I get pretty impatient with the lag, I'm considering a factory reset and then running a way stripped down phone for a few months until I have to scratch the itch, probably with a moto x when motomaker comes to VZW, as Ry mentioned. But the Bionic still does what I need it to do.

Well, I did scratch the itch a little and bought a Nexus 7 a couple weeks ago, which is great and makes the wait for a new phone much easier.
