I agree the Bionic is not outdated, and will still blow away the current LTE lineup. But..... and this is a LARGE BUT in my opinion, I have been waiting since the end of last year to get a new phone. I heard about the Bionic in January, knew it wouldn't be out for a while, kept waiting. Heard it was being delayed (even though Moto made up a lame excuse for it), I kept waiting, now I am expecting 8 months later we will see this phone in Sept. Sooo, we are now hearing that a release of 3 game changing phones are in the work for VZW to be released before the end of the year (not for fact). These phones that are to be released not only are rumored to have MUCH better hardware, but 720p resolution.
So to me it breaks down like this, I have waited 8 months for a good jump in technology from my OG Droid to the Bionic, Why not wait an additional 1-4 months for another good jump in technology from the Bionic to Prime? Vigor? I don't see that as being childish. Yes I am po'd at Moto for lying about the delay, and not giving us any information on this phone for the past 7 months. But to each his own.
