of course, as soon as I wrote that, I forgot about how much netflix streaming we do in a month, ah well time will tell.

agreed - had pondered that before but was never possible until 4G - to your point, might indeed be a good solution to account for all the variables - thanks

I still don't expect you to go over 2GB from what you were saying. If you do though, I doubt you'd go over 3GB...it's just an extra what? $10 if you go over?

I average 3gb a month, sometimes more sometimes less. I stream Google music a few hours a day and watch 2 or 3 movies on Netflix a month.

Hi thanks for the great reviews so far, but I was wondering how is the status light? I am a current Blackberry user.

the only time you'll go over 2gb is probably streaming movies via netflix. otherwise typical web browsing, youtube, music streaming should be fine. unless u spend like half your day on the phone everyday of the month.

bworley50,

It's awesome that you've taken all this time to give us all this info. I'm really excited about getting my own in a couple of days.

One day, you'll have to share that letter you wrote to Motorola. I'd love to see what you said to them. It had to be a letter writing masterpiece!

Thanks for the video. Outdoor visibility is awesome. Way better than the phone I have.

Can someone confirm if I can do this:

I currently have VZW with an iPhone 4 with Unlimited Data. I want to switch to the Bionic because LTE is going to be available in my area starting on the 15th. However, I am not upgrade eligible, so I was initially going to just pay full retail for the phone

However, I am planning on adding a new line to my account for my son anyway. But he's not going to have a smartphone, and we already have a deactivated feature phone that he will be using. Can't I open a new line without signing a contract and add our old phone to it. And then immediately transfer his upgrade to my line so I can get the discounted Bionic? I realize that this will then make his line on a contract for 2 years, but that's fine.

Just making sure this is possible...

Pretty much, I stream music everyday at work for a few hours and that puts me over the 2gb mark every month

Looks great man, it'll be nice to be able to see my screen outside. And of course, it'll probably look better in person.

And now I have to find the weirdest possible place to video call my friends from this weekend. Was thinking of calling them on the toilet or something to freak them out lol.

Bworley, does the hdmi cable mirror everything? Netflix looked great. Also, can we see a video and or thoughts on the keyboard. Accuracy and speed are big. It's gonna be hard to give up iPhone keyboard.

You do know that in Android you can change the keyboard to whatever you like? Swype is cool, Swiftkey is cool...there's a lot. But the stock one is usually really good anyways.
