The title says it all I know most of you are gonna say the Bionic but I'm torn between these to because I want a htc sense device but there's no dual core and the battery life is bad but it also has kickstand which is a + but with the bionic its has dual core and and its more up to date my only to problems with this phone is possibly the price because it might be as much as the charge $250 is probably my limit and the other problem is motoblur but I heard its a bigstep up so idk but if the thunderbolt had gingerbread and sense 3.0 then I would have it but I'm torn.
How much I want these features: each will be out of 100
4G LTE- 90% (Live in a LTE extened coverage area)
HTC- 60%
Motorola- 30%
Stock Android- 99.99%
HTC Sense- 85%
New 3D Blur- 45%
Dual Core- 80%
Single Core- 55%
$199.99- 100%
$249.99- 50%
$299.99- 1%
Thickness- 40% (Don't really want it but it doesn't bother me)
Build Quality- 75%
Screen- 0-100% (Doesn't matter)
Screen Size; 4.0- 100%
Screen Size; 4.3- 95%
Screen Size; 4.5- 60% (Too Big)

Thunderbolt.
 
If you could root the Bionic I think you could get yourself pretty close to Sense UI (anyone?).

In regards to price: put away $20 next Wednesday. then $20 the following Wed (27th) then $20 on the 3rd. That will mean even if the Bionic is $300 it'll be $240 with the saved money. That would put it in Charge $250 range when you actually go to buy it (yes, I know it's still $300, but it won't feel like that hit to your wallet the day if you save for it).

I'm opting for the Bionic despite my like of Sense over MotoBlur.

yes you could make it look and work like sense. But not a pure as true sense
 
Sense is liked because of the features packed into it.. Not just the UI.

If you are interested in the Bionic because of the features and dual core then go for it. Even if it means waiting a bit for the price to lower. Also keep an eye on third party prices. You are likely to get a better deal than you otherwise would through Verizon.

You'll be stuck with the device for a while, so make it worthwhile.
