I owned a bionic for 5 months and it was really frustrating. The Rezound made me love android again and Sense is really an amazing experience. Now as for speed the bionic was fast. Problem is would never stay connected. The Rezound is fast enough and with the superior screen and the best camera I ever had on a phone this phone kills. My girlfriend has the Razr and it is nice but I would not trade this phone for any current phone on Verizon. I mobile hotspot to 3 devices and rarely have a pause in data. You will really like this phone as soon as you get used to the reversed home button...
