Motorola Bionic

Subscribing to this thread to follow news. Will be upgrading from a BlackBerry.

In other words 512MB DDR2 is better in a lot of ways. Similar to having your hard drives raided, you have half as much space but it processes TWICE as fast.

You could also argue it has the same advantage that SSD's have over ordinary HDD's.

I do not know if someone replied to this yet. But the only reason why the Atrix has 1Gig of Ram is because it docks to a Notebook and works as a PC. The phone alone will be 512MB just like the Bionic. It uses the other 512MB of Ram for the Notebook part the is always running in the background. This is why the Atrix has 1Gig of ram. Now the Bionic will have the Car Dock and HDMI Dock that the DX has...

Exactly. The bionic just lacks the desktop functionality and thus doesn't have the additional memory. I wish it DID have that functionality, but oh well.

It means 512 DDR2. That is it. Put that in your favorite encyclopedia, then digress.

That's like saying a Lamborghini drives like a Lamborghini... Who knows what that means? I thought it was an honest question, but I digress. I will most likely end up getting the HTC because I prefer the user experience over something that I probably won't notice anyway. And I am willing to bet I can hack it six ways from Sunday and overclock it to 1.5 without breaking a sweat... Either way it is an upgrade from my DInc.

Bionic is just the Droid X2 didnt want to name it the X2 due to all the issues the X started having... but its going to be a pretty sweet phone..

DX is a pathetic fail in comparison. Lamborgini has alway been a show car....not built for raw speed....I love the HTC TB, But face it, HTC skipped the Xs and Os, and it is an EVO with 200 more flash ROM. Sorry.....truly am, but it is the games, Moto has taken HTC and stabbed the **** out of it and left it for dead. (I did not harm any member, but stated hardware truth)

Oh yeah, BBs and Moto devices are NOT exploitable. User info is locked down. Yes, HTC is exploitable and hackable, and spreadable......hack that user boot!!!!!!!! Yeah! I want one to exploit everything about it too, but I love Moto locking that BL and keeping my **** secure.....yes, I work in a hospital.......Lock me out of the exploits please.....

So the Moto phones are more secured then htc phones? I don't root or anything like that so if I get an htc phone, am I going to be safe?

That's how I see it. I don't know about any problems as my DX works just fine but the Bionic seems to be what the DX should have been in the first place(minus the 4G). Now we have the best of both worlds..... an improved DX running on 4G.

Some like it, but also thank God they got rid of the hardware buttons in favor of capacitive.

LOL, I like the physical buttons...most of the time.

"Bionic seems to be what the DX should have been in the first place"? Why does everyone always say this!?

I guess everyone's expectation of the Droid X was higher than what we got. Dual-core was not in much talk at the time of the X's release, so I tend to disagree with that statement, but that's just me.

 

[Smitty_82]

I like my x, of coarse it was a big jump from my bb storm, lol.

I do too, love having the option to wake X up with home button. Hate my wife's D2 that you NEED to use top unlock button.

We are on same page, hate statements like this. Like saying the 2011 "insert here" is what the 2008 "insert here" should of been? Come on!?

Honestly this was in the works before the dx was released I'd already heard of it. I simply wished the dx had a design closer to this while thin it just way to long and skinny that turned me off this looks much better

You don't think this bad boy isn't a big chubby?

Not nearly as much so as the Droid X, I don't think anyway.

Pictures must make it look worse than it is, I guess. From the pics it seemed to be very deep compared to the X which is skinny except for that bump at the top.
