nice to see they actually finally responded but that is so vague that doesnt preclude the bionic being a different phone, or who knows maybe the may 15th date is still right. would definalty have to see people use it for a couple weeks before id touch it, but great find, but with all thats gone on the last 4 days that tweet is very vague , guess well have to wait to see what it means.

what's the big deal about an ugly blurry phone getting cancelled?

Joke?

Perhaps. Many have questioned the legitimacy of this tweet.

if it has been cancelled, wouldnt motorola take it down? i just checked motorola's website and its still on the site... Just my two cents..

I really don't see Moto having a device that was cancelled still up there site with all other current devices. I agree that this makes no sense in the speculation. And that is all this really is, speculation.

Maybe this is all just a good topic, but I think it's more just delayed, then cancelled.

Hi All,

I've been lurking these boards for a while, reading up on droid phones that are coming out, and Bionic has caught my attention. I'm looking to switch from an iphone right now (I know, I know. lol).

Anywho, I too was hoping that the rumor that the Bioinc was canceled isn't true, so I've been scanning the net, like the rest of you. Just looked it up again, and I found this:

Motorola: Droid Bionic Will Launch With Verizon Wireless In Summer - WSJ.com

Sorry if it's already been posted. But, it looks like Motorola has officially addressed it.

Maybe its not cancelled after all

Now, the only question is, WHEN IS THE RELEASE DATE!!!

 

[Suuperflie]

Maybe they're adding more ram while they're at it.

And the webtop feature, which I'm not too worried about anyway.

the statement from Moto is exactly what was predicted by the guys over at HoFo - the Bionic, in its current form, is scrapped, and Moto is going to focus on the Targa development, and release the Targa as the "new" Bionic in Q3...

 

[EFGantry]

...Q3 being the original target date for the Targa, anyway.

My interpretation of the article, it will be the original Bionic that will be released despite the speculation of it changing to another model.

well, i don't think anyone expected Moto to come out and say that they've scrapped a device because it has too many problems - of course they're gonna spin it! they want to make "improvements" to the Bionic?? i'll bet just about anything that those "improvements" not-so-coincidentally match up with the rumored Targa specs, and that there won't be a second device. also, it's easy for them to just rename the Targa as the Bionic, since the Targa hasn't been officially announced - it's all about the spin...
