it felt lighter than my buddy's nexus s.I can't argue with the guy who's actually using it.
But the Bionic is 13.3mm and the GSII is 8.49mm.

Why are people so obsessed with super thin phones? As long as it isn't thicker than the Thunderbolt a phone is fine with me.
Nexus is like 10mm thick
YES! Very true. I say anything thicker than that is out of line, anything thinner than the GSII is just nuts. Really people, it's a big screen, it's got a lot of power, it's thin enough.
That's good to hear - I've read that it feels lighter than it looks. But to be honest, weight doesn't bother me. I love my OG's heft.
You all missed my point. I don't care how thick it is. My point was how thin the GSII is and how it still has higher benchmarks.

Have fun with the BIONIC BY MOTOROLA!

I think heft is what makes a phone feel a little more sturdy. You want a good sturdy frame that will last. The GSII probably won't last as long as this Bionic, knowing Samsung vs. Motorola quality of the phone itself.

The Nexus mm post was after a different quote. You can have a super thick phone that weighs like nothing.

Well after reading the reviews for the Droid 3 and the Galaxy S II on Engadget (and looking at the Droid 3 and Charge at Verizon) the only complaint about the GSII by Engadget was it was a little more plasticy and not as well built as it could have been. The Droid 3 they loved the design, thought it was amazing and was absolutely one of the best keyboard Android phones on the market.
Samsung is known for a little less quality in the frames of their phones, while HTC and Motorola are known for good quality phones.

Moto and VZW pull this off the shelves, delay it for MONTHS, then continuosly tease us and tell us how great this thing's going to be, then VZW starts the hype machine and when it gets benchmarked for the first time it's irrelevant to compare it to the best current Android phone?
Sorry dude, it is relevant.

Samsung is in the gut. The shell will get beat up yes? I agree, the droid 3 has a keyboard that makes a BB feel fake.
