Is the bionic being delayed for the thunderbolt?

[Hand_O_Death]

Well luckily it looks like if it IS being held back by the TB, then we have only until Thursday, before they have no excuses for releasing the Bionic.

Keep in mind that the Bionic will be the last of the four to debut. So after the Bolt, we still have to see the Stealth and Revolution launch before the Bionic gets its turn.

Poor Bionic And attached to his hand is a little buddy named Tiered.

You should read the comments. They live a totally different world where the Bionic has been out for 6 months and the Samsung Epic is better and on Verizon. lol.

Back on topic. The Bionic is most likely still on track like the other devices. The only phones that would be delayed because of the Thunderbolt is the HTC Incredible 2 and HTC Merge. Should expect the Motorola Bionic mid-June.

I think you will see the Bionic a lot sooner than June. BMX said after passover. Easter is April 24th, so I think you will see it that week or the week after.

Don't know that I believe that yet. Panda seems to hint at a dual-core device coming next month (reiterated in a new poem posted yesterday). The Stealth and Revolution aren't dual-core, but the Bionic is.

Where do you get this information from?

Yes that is what I was wondering?

Seeing the blurb's about a Dual Core coming with 3.0 -- is that the Bionic?

 

[jayblazer]

Bmx posted yesterday about it on twitter

Yea. Late April lines up with what BMX said. Seriously though, it's only a month away so it might still be on track. He's usually right; including the Thunderbolt date.

The Stealth is coming next. He's had the final hardware in his hands. (and he said so in his tweets) The Bionic, however, hasn't even reached final hardware yet. Its more than a few weeks off.

I'm not so sure, I think it is the Bionic. He said something about dual core in a few weeks, Stevie Austin aka the Bionic Man, and how he was a blur aka MotoBlur. I think we will see the Bionic next month.

I know he's had the Stealth. But, that doesn't discount what he's saying in his poems -- "dual core", "Stevie Austin" (Bionic man), "blur". That's in no way a reference to the Stealth.

I agree, from his most recent ones, it seems like the Bionic is the next in line. It may just be wishful thinking, but I have not seen any Samsung references in them.

Well damn my upgrade is on Easter lol. Hopefully a phone'll come out the Thursday after !

Ehh. I still think the Samsung is next based on his comments to Thunderbolt posters. (all told them the Samsung was a better device if you didn't need one right away, and told them to wait a little bit longer)

That, and, besides the screen, the Stealth is pretty much a current generation Galaxy S with a bigger screen and an LTE modem. It's a device that will require the least amount of hardware and software verification (even though Verizon will obviously test it to death) since a lot of the hardware is already out there.

I want big bad Bionicle........TB is gold too (avoiding ill will)

Looks like you were right with the Stealth coming next.

I'm still thinking the Bionic will be late April though. Releasing the Stealth so soon after the TBolt would not discount Verizon releasing the Bionic soon after the Stealth. With the Stealth not being dual-core, it can't be what BMX is referring to (and the fact that he posted in the Bionic forum that the forum should soon be blowing up like the TBolt forum did). But we'll see in the not-to-distant future.

An interesting side note should this be true ... a release of the Stealth on Apr. 7 would be 3 weeks after release of the Thunderbolt. A release of the Bionic on Apr. 28 (as some have guessed based on interpretation of BMX's poem) would be 3 weeks after the release of the Stealth. I thought I had read somewhere too that Verizon wanted to release all of the LTE devices one right after the other. This schedule would support that as well.

True to it's name, it slipped in under the radar.
