The reason is this is the second design Bionic. We have actually had to wait through the development of two phones.
I know it's whole history, I have been following it very closely since I first saw it. Anyone can disagree, but for me personally, if it takes much longer, I am just stating that I will just wait till the holidays for the new batch of phones. I have been waiting 7 months so far, and if it's September that it comes out then it will be 9 months. I have no problem waiting another 2-3 months for a newer phone, that's all I am saying. I realize many of you will buy it no matter when it comes out and that's fine. I personally won't if it's September and will wait for another phone, that's just my decision. To each his own
