FCC Docs & Pics of Droid Bionic Revealed!!

[sk102704]

Anyone see anything about the front facing camera? I'm on a long car ride and won't be able to check the FCC docs for some time.

Did anyone notice that the user manual look to be the same one from the droid X and the X2

This looks a little bit strange to me that they are showing info for the bionic in the pic's but the manual is for the X even all the pis of the phone in the so called manual are of the X

Just my thoughts so I don"t really think the screen size is right in my opinion.


still want to see in person to make my mined up about this phone I am still running the Original Droid and I have no problems at all with it.

Okay, I'm confused, on one of the last batches of spy shots, it showed the hump on the bottom. But here is seems to show pretty clearly (at least to me) that the hump is on top.

While I agree it's a bit of a let down, the X2 didn't have induction charging, touch sensitive buttons, 1gig of ddr2 ram or LTE.

Or a front facing camera. Larger battery. Webtop. Omap 4 >> tegra 2. Stereo sound (pretty sure from pics).

They really aren't even comparable except for the screen size.

Well, sure, they aren't the same if you want to be all factual about it. But that's a rarity on internet forums.

I'm not so sure this is a world phone. Looking at the battery door test report on page 3. There is no mention of GSM signaling capability.

If you notice in the picture, they show the power button being on the top left.

Which means they revised this from the DX's manual, which shows the power button being in the top center.

If they revised where the button was in the manual, then I'm sure they would have revised the size of the screen if it was altered as well.

Hah. Touche.

The bionic is such a pos. My D1 will run circles around it. I'm waiting for the Jupiter personally.

And order is restored.

I guess im just sick of a narrow screen. Im still gonna get it though. I wanted at least 4.5

The hump has always been at the top where the camera is, just like the bottom lip has always been raised, not recessed.

I'm not so sure this is a world phone. Looking at the battery door test report on page 3. There is no mention of GSM signaling capability.

If it were just a DX2 manual, why would they add the stuff about SIM cards and world capabilities? Since the power button is depicted in a new place (exactly where it shows it in the FCC photos) and there is a lot of stuff about world use, I'm sure the Bionic is going to be a world phone.

This seems a bit troubling...From page 2 of the user manual:

Cool down
In very limited circumstances, such as where your
phone has been exposed to extreme heat, “Cool
Down” message screens will appear. To avoid possible
damage to your battery and phone, you should follow
these instructions until the phone is within its
recommended temperature range. When your phone
is in “Cool Down” mode, only emergency calls can be
made.

Just read that... not too sure how I feel about that. Could be a good feature to protect the phone unless it ends up having an over heating problem, then we may find ourselves getting used to say "Sure, I'll look that up in a minute after my phone cools off."

This isn't a new feature of the Bionic. The Droid X has this as well, if not most other Moto phones as well.

Yes, my D1 has an excellent feature where it simply hot-reboots repeatedly until I pull my hair out whenever it overheats.

With the new pics I can see the Bionic will have 3 mics.

That made for nice recording audio for videos on the Droid X1. Should have nice noise cancellation too. I think the Droid 3 has 3 mics too, dont really know.

Sorry if this sounds boring to some of yall...lol. Like I said before battery life and reception are important to me. So I'm excited about noise cancellation.

Are we sure that the inductive battery door will be included or is it just being tested as part of the phone? The inductive has logos at different places and the hump seems less pronounced if there at all.

Regarding the manual, I'm sure that the manual is not final and they just threw in some screenshots/renders of old phones that are similar. I don't know if this will be world though, because looking at other documents it only lists the LTE and CDMA radios. Also, there is no mention of LTE in the manual, which tells me that portion (which doesn't need tested) was not finalized yet.
