Goodbye.. bionic..

I'll probably wait to see what new phones are announced in the next couple months then jump ship as well. I really liked my Bionic up until recently. It won't recharge without being on a dock anymore. I thought I could overlook this since I put it on its dock almost every night before bed, but this weekend I took a little weekend getaway and didn't pack it. I had the OEM cables and chargers and tried charging it in the car and at the hotel, but nothing worked. Fortunately, I packed a spare battery and was able to make it through the long weekend if I only turned on my phone when I needed it, but it sucked 'cause I wasn't able to use the GPS or kill some time with Youtube during the roadtrip. I'm waiting to see what this year's Nexus will look like, and since I live in an AT&T 4G LTE area, I'm open to leaving VZW totally behind if they're not offering a Nexus.
 
That's why I'm waiting for the next couple months. Moto is announcing some phones tomorrow and the new Nexuses usually come out in Oct-Nov. My Bionic functions ok enough to last me till then. The only time I feel like throwing it at a wall is when I'm out for extended periods of time without my charge dock, which admittedly isn't too often. But being caught with a dead phone even once is a fail for me, so I'll be waiting to see what's announced then make a decision.
 
Can someone give me some advice?
I'm on my second replacement (third in total) and I am getting data connectivity issues once more. I'm tired of the bionic and am hoping to switch to a GNex. Will they send me that as a replacement, or will I have to painfully work up the tiers of command and try to persuade them to switch phones for me?

They may send you a gnex as a replacement... but be forewarned, gnex's have been having radio problems too.

Disagree. Got rid of my Bionic and received a GNex with an 8/2012 build date. The radios with the JB leak are working very well. You should be fine; just make sure the CLN phone has a 2012 build.
 
Alright, I'll probably give vz a call tomorrow. I don't mind if it's refurbished. And I have been on ICS and the problems are still coming. Thanks for the help.

You are on an ics leak and still having data problems? That is strange I had problems with data until ics and now I never drop data ever.
