Non-removable battery. That is a negative for Android devices. It works fine for apple but for Android, that is a no-go. What will you do if it freezes up and your power button does not function? They would have to have a keypress reset combo in the hardware for it, and if they don't, our modders might get screwed.
If im looking for a reason to be happy with my Bionic the day I got it, there it is.

Nah, just a hard reset button. Likely recessed and accessible with a toothpick.

None, whatsoever. My E815 was so much better. Tethered it gave me 400kbps on EV-DO and supported 2GB sdcard. And was rock solid

+1 to this comment,

My processor was hot **** when I built this computer... at least for a few months... the bionic is going to be a bad ass mofo for longer than that.

I feel there is this misconception of consumers wanting the next best thing, or maybe I do.

When I wait for a device, it's not so I can have the next best thing, it's so the device I end up with has all the qualities that I'm currently looking for. The Bionic almost had all of that, except for the screen I wanted, so I continue to wait.

That doesn't mean I'll be waiting forever, it just means I'll be waiting until a phone comes out with similar or better specs as the Bionic, which also has a screen that meets my expectations. Since we all have different expectations, it's quite possible for someone to be 100% happy with which ever device they end up with, within a reasonable amount of time.

I just feel like this "you'll be waiting forever for the next best thing" has become a staple on these forums and it's just not true for the majority. If you have realistic expectations and wish to wait for a device that fulfills those expectations, then you will find a device that suits you soon enough; of course some sooner than others.

I think that "the next best thing" crowd is a very small group of people and yet somehow those of us who don't want to purchase a device just to be partially satisfied are unjustly clumped into this group and I feel it's an unfair judgement.

But doesn't verizon only have the right to use the DROID phrase? And how do you know its going to att if nothing had been officially announced.

Its the Motorola Dinara, nnot the Droid Dinara.
And true, I don't know 100% what is going on with the phone, but the people who have said its coming have said its coming to at&t. it may never exist at all

There is always going to be something better. I wanted to wait foe IPhone on Verizon and did. Then I wanted LTE. And I waited. I wanted Bionic and it got pushed back. There is always something better. You have to accept that.

Thunderbolt. LOL. I was not happy with what I got. Should have gotten iPhone. Then I rooted and I love it. No complaints at all. An Android phone is defined by the user not the build.

The Motorola StarTAC! Oh wait...

But aren't you just as guilty? You're dismissing the Bionic over a screen? So you sit and you wait for another device to come along that's your idea of perfection, knowing perfectly well that any device capable of good battery and build is going to likely be a Motorola, and Motorola is using the pentile displays which, by the way, contribute to the good battery? Chicken and the egg.

Sometimes in the land of consumers you must learn to simply accept certain things that are just not that critical. I could maybe see if the Droid Bionic were only a 3G phone; to me that would make it absolutely worth passing up. But I really don't find any possibility of there being a superior device in the near future on Verizon at least. I could be wrong...I just don't see it happening.

I don't see how I'm just as guilty for wanting a high quality screen with a dual core processor and 4g LTE. There are 2-3 phones confirmed right now with those specs coming within the next 6 months. You're assuming that you and I have equal expectations, which we don't. What you're willing to "deal with", I choose not to. What I want in a device is realistic and it certainly won't take forever to be released, therefore I choose to wait.

I think there's 2 different camps. There's the people that have a list of things they want in a phone and are waiting for a phone that has as many of those things as possible. From reading some of your other posts, I think you fall into that camp. then there are the people who say "Why buy the Bionic when the Prime/Vigor/whatever will be here in 3 months and has a 1.2/1.5/1.whatever Ghz processor?" Its the second camp that really makes no logical sense to most people and I think that is where the majority of these comments are directed.
