Bionic is now free...
- Thread starter hts4215
- Start date
Just upgraded my mom's line from an LG Ally to the Bionic for free. Well, plus the stupid $30 upgrade fee

i think around 65-75 in the store if they have them. retail is around a 100.00
If you want to make some lemonade from the lemon, the Bionic Lapdock went from $199.97 to $49.97 because of this. This may be an in-store "while supplies last" sort of thing. See http://www.droidforums.net/forum/motorola-droid-bionic/210074-bionic-lapdock-now-50-verizon.html for more details.

They're out of stock.
It depends on where you live. They're out of stock online. I had to call two stores in San Diego. Both had them in stock, but one quoted the original price. If I talked to them more, I probably could've gotten it for the lower price. Here's the Verizon store locator Store Locator - Verizon Wireless

I don't think you will be dissapointed and always have 14 days to return it. I'm still loving mine and really don't see the need for an upgrade anytime soon.
Congrats on phone purchase and it is a very nice phone

Congrats on the phone and hope you enjoy it. Feel free to ask any questions ya may have!
They are similar, but I usually do get a higher 4G signal, sometimes its considerably significant.
It's a forum app. It allows you to log into many forums (like this one) from your phone and post. There's also a Droid Forums app, that'll just go here. If you see messages saying "Sent from my <Insert phone name here> using Droid Forums" that's from the Droid Forums app. Tapatalk costs 99 cents while the Droid Forums app is free.
Some sites say that WiFi has a maximum of 54 MB per second while 4G LTE has a maximum of 100 MB per second. That being said expect less (at least in my experience). A good WiFi signal means you won't use data and you probably won't notice a difference in speed. A lot depends on what site you're getting the data from. If it's a site that's delivering 1 MB per second, it doesn't much matter if you're on 3G, 4G or WiFi.

4G LTE is the greatest thing since sliced bread. The thing about 3G is that when you're watching a video in the browser using Flash Player you have to deal with a lot of buffering and stuttering, and you can forget about watching a high quality Flash video. 4G LTE is fast enough to keep up with these videos. With 4G LTE downloads are at least 3x faster, streaming is consistent, webpages load faster...it will save you a lot of time. It you go 4G LTE you'll have a hard time going back to 3G.

Well, I am now posting this from my brand new Bionic. I figured it would be best to roll with it before I was unable to upgrade without keeping my plan. I so far really enjoy it. The phone is so much zippier than my OG Droid was, even with running the latest Steel Droid rom. I don't see myself regretting getting this phone. Maybe today i will root it and try out a few if the roms available.
That may be due to location. I live in San Diego, one of the first cities to get 4G. Our house is in a valley and reception is spotty at best. Inside I might get 4G, 3G, 1X or nothing. Go outside 20 feet and 4G pops up quickly. At my parent's house 4G is good enough to stream a movie on Netflix.
