My Bionic

[dcdevito]

let that chocolate wipe it clean G.

Different CPU man. The US one has an OMAP4 right? I know it's not the same as the European one. Everyone's talking up the damn CPU all the time...the US GSIIs will not score as high on benchmarks.

Wrong. Sorry dude. Samsung is using the Exynos chip in (at least) the AT&T and T-Mobile variants - I know the Spring version is slightly different.

Looks good bworley! How cool to have bionic vids in the masses. I notice a small delay when hitting the app tray icon? Is that usual, or just occasional? It is only a second, but hey, this is the Bionic! Thanks man.

No lag. That was me trying to film and deal with a phone at the same time.

satellite or non satellite he he

Sat phones are tons of fun!!!!

Lol the only thing I liked was the light up spinning wheel on the front. It was all festive and crazy, but in the end was just useless lighting that was almost never used. It was way too slow for me too, even my current Chocolate is way too slow.

light up spinning wheel, festive, crazy? You kill me G! ha ha so funny!

Lol I could totally take a video of it and send it to you, that thing was actually pretty cool, but not as functional as LG would have you assume. Made me feel like I had an iPod knockoff, and I hate iPods XD

And I'm going to stop responding to any GSII posts, that's not what this thread is about and I'm done arguing about benchmarks. It'd dumb and useless and I don't really care since I can't get one on Verizon. I don't like Samsung's software, so I don't want Samsung's phone, simple as that. I like Motorola's phone quality, and their software isn't too terrible. They need to unlock the bootloader though, I want to try some custom ROMs in the future.

Neat stuff

I mistook the reflection of your air vents for a double sized icon in one of your vids tho.

hmmm last I checked this was a bionic forum. Take the trolling and flaming elsewhere DCDevito. Seriously, I know you are probably hurt your precious GS2 got the cold shoulder from VZ but the flamming and trolling in here wont bring it back and if you have moved on to the Prime there is a forum for that.

 

[bworley50]

@Bworley50 thank you for taking the time to do this.

How is the camera quality?

Very very good.

 

[pwninobrlan]

I know you've heard this a million times, but thank you again bworley.

 

[KillerG]

Very very good.

You know I'd like to see some pictures and videos from the actual Bionic. Can we see those? But you know what...wait until tomorrow and take pictures of stuff we can actually see, it's too late now.

 

[koei]

If its not too much trouble can you measure the thickest part of the bionic? Saw someone mention 13.3mm but I would really like to have it confirmed.

If you were paying attention we were comparing the quadrant scores of the GSII and the Bionic. Go back a few pages. Also, when someone just blurts out incorrect info perhaps someone may mistakenly take it as the truth - therefore I did them a favor and (politely) corrected it.

Calling me a troll in a Bionic forum when I'm comparing the BIONIC to another phone is lunacy. Not everyone can sit here and drool over this phone when in actuality we're posting and communicating relevant information about the device.

Relax bro - and start from the beginning of this thread.

I have no doubt the bionic is going to permanently put that chocolate to sleep! With Google's recent acquisition of MM, I think the Bionic is hot. My X on MIUI has me content for now

Can we all take a breather and just stop talking about this? It's done. I was mistaken, but we don't need to go into a frenzy about one mistake.
Let's get back to talking to our good friend about how awesome the Bionic is.

An iPhone would put this thing to sleep, that's how terrible it is. I hate iOS

 

[trailblazen]

I did a specific post search for everything you have posted BEFORE I said that. It wasn't comparing I saw but more like bashing at every turn. You may not be a fan but you don't have to cram your opinion down everyones throats. Anyone who does a find all posts by you will see it too. There is a big difference between "comparing" and arguing

You're right - I love the Bionic, I confess. Ease up.

Keep in mind this phone's been put up on a pedestal so it has to live up to the hype - that's all I'm saying. I'm sure you can agree to that.

really? Come on let's just all stop the hating and trolling.

My video production teacher actually returned his iPhone yesterday...he didn't like it. Too simple and didn't have the features he wanted. So he's going out like tomorrow and getting a Droid 3. Told him to check out my Droid Bionic when I get it, he'd probably like that better unless he's really stuck to that keyboard and can't use an onscreen one.

Does it have a notification light!?
