Anybody else ready to kick their Bionic to the curb?

I just picked up my phone two weeks ago, so no, I'm not quite ready to kick it to the curb. The phone's working great for what it is. It's not perfect, but then again neither is any phone and it has it's quirks, but that's the nature of Google phones. I remember blowing my lid the first couple months I had the D1. Once they got the software figured out the thing turned out to be the best phone I've owned. Time will tell about the Bionic, but I see no reason why it won't suit me for the next couple of years.
It's pretty funny reading all the comments on phones. Doesn't matter which phone it is, people absolutely love them, can't find a single thing wrong, until another new phone comes out, then they use every excuse in the book to justify ditching their old phone to get the new one. If you really want a new phone, just go get it, after all, it's only a phone!

You do realize that the device that was cancelled months ago (Motorola Etna) is a totally different phone from the one that was released (Motorola Targa), right?
The only thing that is the same is the device name. They just reused the Bionic name, it's a completely different unit. The Etna was supposed to be Tegra 2 powered. The Targa is OMAP4430 powered. So the months of waiting brought us a superior device with a more up to date chipset. For example, my Tegra 2 device (Dell Streak 7) fails some of the OpenGL ES 2.1 tests on GLBenchmark. The Bionic passes them all.
I hang out here because I'm also a Droid user. I happen to like both, whats the problem with that. But as I'm entitled to my opinion sam as everyone else I'm going to voice as such, just like you and everyone else. I always say i don't like moto's because i think blur is very intrusive, but thats just me. Like i said, just cuz the bionic didn't work for me, does not mean that no one else will like it. Jeez, relax and get off my koolaid.
Not me! I've had my Bionic since early October and still love it. The only real issues I've had have been due to Verizon's network (the now infamous data drops), but since they're still working out the kinks it doesn't faze me too much. No problems with the handset itself that were deal breakers. I came from Droid 2 Global, not rooted, and haven't regretted it. 
Hubby had a pretty bad case of "phone envy" (he had a Droid X). We had looked in to i4S, but no removable memory, no removable battery, and limited to itunes knocked that out of the running. Guess who did an early upgrade last night and came home with a new Bionic for himself?

i got my bionic on release day and it has been a real pleasure to use. for all of you who are so upset with the data drops and inablilty to reconnect to 3g please follow this thread and the articles it links to. http://www.droidforums.net/forum/motorola-droid-bionic/188792-info-about-data-drops.html the 4g/3g transition is not a bionic problem, it's verizon and someday they'll get it figured out.
Still loving my bionic. The network issues have been a real pain, but atleast it's not the bionic's fault. Well... Mostly not. The build quality on this beast is great. I dropped it hard enough to pop the battery cover and the extended battery off. After I finished screaming in terror, I calmly put my bionic back together and it started right up. Only has a tiny scuff by the power button. My friend's cat knocked her iphone 4s (in a case) off a table and cracked the screen. Love my beast of a phone.

My only gripe is with the 4g going out, but that is a network problem. The device has been awesome.

Receiving 3rd Bionic tomorrow...
Frustrated is not even close!
I can't even get 3G signal most of the time.
No data "ALOT".
They are sending my 2nd replacement tomorrow. 3rd actual Bionic!
I travel coast to coast. Was in Dallas TX and couldn't even get 3G.
