Motorola Targa/Bionic – Targa Sufficiently Ladened With Advanced Technology

[akhi216]

Is no one else noticing the horrible English and questionable source site? These are all the rumors we've already heard about the Targa. Motorola isn't even spelled right.

Yeah it's old news but the fact that we could own this phone by June gets us all giddy inside. *swoons* And yeah, English couldn't have been the guy's first language.

All good BUT bloated with Blur and a good chance of a locked bootloader. Still a strong option to consider. I wonder what battery life will be like? If same as my D1 or as TB i will probably pass.
My contract ends in November around Black Friday so I have plenty of time to wait.

Samsung/LG phones are bloated with TouchWiz, and HTC phones are bloated with HTC Sense. No disrespect but if you want a device that isn't bloated you'll have to get a Nexus and the chance of Verizon getting and Nexus-branded device is next to none.

The bootloader issue is a matter of personal preference and I don't knock anyone's decision to stray away from them. I for one am not worried about the bootloader because I only root to do things like force roaming. The thing that may worry people is the phone not getting updated and that's understandable, but by the time you get comfortable with the next version of Android better hardware will be available (i.e. quad-core processors, more RAM) as well as the next version of Android after that and by that time your phone will be obsolete and won't work with many apps; rooting and flashing custom kernels can only take you so far.

The battery life won't be a problem as as I understand it will include at least a 1900 mAh battery.

I agree the misspelling is shady, I also hope they dont have issues with the tegra if thats what they're sticking in there. was kinda hoping for that qualcomm dual core. im sure she'll fly all the same.

I think they'll use the OMAP 4.

why dont they put in a million billion pixel camera in there...

13? seriously? talk about overkill.

Depending on how good the processor and ram are and whether or not it's stock I might just go with the S2 if it's an option.

They certainly failed on their 1st half but there are a number of q3-q4 pieces of hardware that'll (hopefully) make up for it. Why so pessimistic?

Yep. The Tegra 2 was the main reason why the original Bionic (the Etna) was scrapped. The new Bionic (the Targa) won't have a Tegra 2. It could use Qualcomm, but the OMAP is more likely.
