Is the power button terrible on purpose?

Mine is solid as a rock. No problems with mine.

I typically find the build quality of my Motorola devices to be A++

Me too, which is what I don't get.. there has to be a reason for this, maybe different manufacturing plants?

If I'm staring at the phone, the button is sort of solid on the left, solid in the middle and if I press on the right, it completely sinks in and does nothing.

I'd never pushed on the right side of the switch before. Pushing the left side gives the nice click feedback, but pressing the right side makes my switch sink, too. (But it still activates the switch.)

Meh. As long as it works for me, I'm satisfied. If yours sinks but doesn't activate the screen, I'd take it to Verizon right away. The longer you wait, the more likely they are to tell you it's normal wear and tear.

No problems with my power switch either. Works fine and seems stable. Maybe you need to exchange your Bionic. It's early enough that you would likely get a new one rather than a refurb if you wait.

There are apps you can use to power your phone down. One of them, "Fix Power Button", will even let you turn the phone on with the volume keys and turn it off with a widget.

Good luck.
