Bionic vs. Gs2

[Arkbird]

I would go for the incredible but from what I've seen on eBay, it goes for double the OG Droid.

Yea I think you are right. I didn't realize how much it was going for still. On a side note, I saw your sig. I am having trouble changing my avatar too. I messaged hookbill about it.

And back to the topic the Bionic and Gs2 will both be good phones.

Yeah so OG Droid it is (hopefully I will actually get one) until the Bionic comes out. And thanks!

I agree. If the GSII were to have LTE, I would take it over the Bionic but since all the indications seem to be that it will be a 3G phone, I'll pass.

I have read tons of posts by folks who are hanging on to their OG Droids and waiting for either the Bionic, the Function, or other alternative to the current set of recently released Verizon smartphones. I am one as well.

The three LTE phones currently offered by Verizon all seem to have issues. The Droid X2 is dual core but not LTE and its user reviews have been very mixed thus far.

I'll be glad when the Bionic release date is announced and all the crazy rumors and speculation will be over.

I try to make my decisions easy.

I'm leaning towards the Bionic. Forget everything else, I'm a Moto fan for phone reception. Reception and battery life. I've read the GS2 has good battery life too.

For me, anything else is just icing on the cake.

Hopefully Motorola is designing the Bionic in such a way that will set it apart from the other Verizon LTE phones. Your strategy sounds wise to me.

If the GS2 (Function on Verizon) gets here before something official from Motorola or Verizon about the Bionic, f#%& Motorola.

I feel Motorola backing into a shell similarly to a company whose name we don't speak of, with the droid they were all, it's coming and the phone is unlocked and everything was awesome. Then they started locking and encrypting bootloaders and now they're dragging out the release of a phone they said at CES would be coming out in Q2, now we're getting the vague "pegged for summer release".

Samsung was all hey, let's tell everyone its coming, send the thing into space, and send it to cyanogenmod developers, that's what I'm talking about.

We have certainly been waiting long e enough for the Bionic. The longer it is delayed, the more people will jump to competitor phones. Is Motorola about to be surpassed by Samsung and HTC?
Regarding the Galaxy S II Function, it may be a viable alternative but some customers will not go for it if it does not support LTE.
I will wait but not all summer.

I think we are all waiting for something (Bionic) that will have some sort of flaw. It seems like Moto cannot release a device lately without a flaw. I hope I am wrong.

 

[Droidram56]

I think Motorola has a lot riding on the success of the Bionic. If it turns out good it could be Verizon's flagship smartphone like the OG Droid was. If it is flawed, that will be a big setback and embarrassment for Motorola given the 6 months of hype and delays.

 

[Arkbird]

Eh I think you guys are giving the Bionic way too much hype and credit. It really wasn't that hyped. Maybe at CES but it's died down since then. And of course there will be flaws but the main think is will you still want to buy the phone even though it has that particular flaw?

Flawed or not this is the phone I am getting. My current phone, D1, is running like crap since the last update. I have been deleting apps like crazy to get it to run smoother but it is not helping.

What's your current setup? Rooted or nonroot? My D1 is running supper fast!!!
Waiting for a superior phone is not that big of a deal. What has come out recently through VZ that is sooo great?!?!?!? The last few phones were mediocre at best. Nothing that wow'd me like the OG Droid to everyone when it first came out.

But if your D1 is running like doo doo, ask a question in this forum and watch how many people here are eager to help.

Duces

It is not rooted and not running any fancy apps. Everytime I browse the web, open up the photo gallery or do anything with almost any app when I click the home button it takes about a minute of staring at my wallpaper before my widgets appear. Every function seems to lag even just making a phone call.

I am considering doing the factory reset but I worry about losing some of my stuff.

Gs2 because the bionic is a myth a urban legend like big foot yeah theres sightings but no one will ever capture it lol
