[Updated] SGS2 (Rumored) & BIONIC coming Sept. 8

Since it says the HTC Vigor is going to replace the Thunderbolt, does that mean it might/will have 4G? If so, it's going to be very hard decision between getting the Vigor, Bionic, or SG2

Stay away from the Bionic..... it's a droid 3 with LTe and no keyboard... fail for moto... o and um its locked up tight too

Plus the front of the thing is ugly as all get out too. Am I the only one who thinks the front looks like a cheap piece of plastic?

I'm glad everybody will be staying away from the Bionic. That will leave possibly the top performing device available for me after reviews come in :).

Don't shoot the messenger

Since the bionic and photon are (likely) very close to the same phone, I decided to go down to sprint and try it out.
Impressions:
The Good-
-Very snappy and smooth (and the dual core will more than likely keep it that way even when it's loaded down with apps)
-The screen it very bright. It must have a pretty high nit value.
-The form (to me) is pretty cool (and yes, it remains to be seen if the bionic will be a looker in real life)
-It feels very nice in the hand
-The video smooth on the unit without skips or stutters
-The webtop (correct terminology?) is actually kind of appealing. They had a setup there with a big monitor, keyboard, mouse and remote. And I kind of dig it. I can envision some nice business applications being developed for it.

The Bad-
-The pentile screen, while nice and bright, always looks like you're looking through a very fine mesh (yes, I know it will be a personal choice between brightness and less pixellation)
-The camera still takes smurf pictures with the blue hue (and neither I or the rep could find any sort of white balance or adjustment)

My (as in me. you do what you want) final verdict is that looking at that pentile screen all day would bug the stew out of me (even more than the blue pics), so I'll be waiting for one of the other things (hopefully) coming down the pipeline. Hang on D1 Old Buddy, hang on.
 
I always wonder how these 'leaked' screenshots get...well.... leaked. Nonetheless, I know what I'm doing on the 8th. :icon_ banana:
Its really easy actually. Some guy in his mothers basement cooks up a fake excel spreadsheet with release dates of all the phones everyone wants and then posts it somehwere saying its some internal Verizon document and the procedes to watch the internet blow up while sitting there drinking monsters and eating cheese puffs.

Any idiot with a computer and 10 minutes can make that spreadsheet.

I mean really, Im kinda suprised the iphone 5 isnt on there, that would have made it complete.
That is super retarded to assume, everyone knows only a handful of people even know about a release date for the iphone 5. It hasn't even been confirmed it exists, just speculation on everything because Apple usually releases in September.

I was not saying that the lack of the iphone was suspect, I was saying hat whoever made it should have put the iphone on there just to get a rise out of those people too.
 
This bionic vs gs2 vs vigor should be good.
The vigor has a 1.5 ghz processor, so that might be worth waiting for. (Though its snapdragon :(
