new spec leak!

Sorry, there are so many threads, this looked like the most relevent one. I saw this on the main page of the Bionic forums,

Droid Bionic Forum

Does anyone know Miami1683? Is this indivudal a reliable source? Other than the known, this person is saying it has a 4.5-Inch display...

The one moderator points out that the model # is XT865. And that picture of the leaked photos shows that the new 'bionic' is an XT875. Anyone know if this means that the XT865 is the old bionic? But then again it's on there with the Droid 3 and X2 which means it has to be from after June or July right?

Anyone else notice how it references the XT865?
 
XT865 makes it highly less credible in my eyes. Very strange though that it shows the Droid 3 and X2.... I would mark this one up as possible, but doubtful.

That's correct. That's the old Bionic. XT875 is the new one. As far as what that means? Who knows. I'll believe it when I see a commercial from Verizon, or pre-orders go live on their website.

More pixels is not necessarily a good thing if it gets you into a highly non-standard aspect ratio. 960:540 is 16:9 (a ratio of 1.78). 960:640 puts you at a 1.5 ratio. Your old 4:3 TV has a width-to-height ratio of 1.33. This hypothetical Bionic would have an aspect ratio slightly closer to an old box TV than your widescreen TV. You've just guaranteed Angry Birds, Netflix, and tons of other apps are going to look funky on your Bionic if you go that far off standard.

That does NOT surpass my expectations. If you think people are complaining about Pentile. Just wait until they tried to use this monstrosity!

The spec is wrong or a typo.

Lol very true.

The app doesn't necessarily have to use all of the pixels on the screen.... You might be playing Angry Birds with a dark strip above and below the game area (just like a letterbox movie on your TV set). :cool:
 
How can this make motorola more money?

Makes sense to me.... More people would be apt to buying it if it had an unlocked bootloader. Honestly, I don't see the disadvantage for manufacturers in the first place. Are they worried about their precious "skins" being replaced/removed?? Last time I checked, they make money by selling devices - regardless of the software it ships with.
 
Now that i dig more deeply, There is alot wrong with what i am reading on Droid Bionic Forum. They are showing the pictures we saw on every site 2 weeks ago and showing them as new? I looked in there forums and one of the moderators posted this morning for the first time with the pictures? Everyone was really excited too, like they never saw the pics. Really?

Then came the strange specs. Little "Typos" here and there. Call me crazy, but wouldnt you double check everything to make sure its right? This is not a random post on a forum, your posting information for people to go by. You would think accuracy would be a priority.

I call BS on this info, This site is just trying to get people to check out the forums.

oh boy....this is going to be quite embarrassing for some people over there. That is old news. Like over a month old. Ohhhh boy

I hit up one of the sMods over there. Hopefully they will take that down. They are great guys over there.

I don't know, that Miami guy can be shady. Nothing he has said has ever panned out, at least from what I followed.
 
More curious about the ram than anything else. Same process and ginger blur as my d3.

all signs are pointing to 1gb. If that is true it should fly because the droid 3 from the videos and what looks super smooth and if it is the same just with more ram that should power it through everything and not show any lag.

Hope so, although 4.5 is a bit large if that is the size. Still, I want to see a superphone war so I hope it's big and mean

All I want is a confirmation of the screen size. I don't care whether its pentile or not.
