[Q] Poll!!! Do you love your Bionic or not ?

Tell me if you love your Droid Bionic or not. I will provide decent options if coming from a previous LTE device

Coming from OG Droid and loving it.

Coming from revo....have to say I love it... my revo was rooted, and with the help of some great devs it was a really good device..could not get over a serious battery issue...

coming from D2 miui... Bionic is amazing but the motoblah gotta go.

Upgrading from a windows mobile phone (HTC Touch Pro, aww yeaa!) and honestly? The pentile screen really bothers me.
I've been waiting 9 months for this phone and while everything else is just awesome (LTE is the best, the phone is super quick/smooth) but I do a lot of web browsing/reading and the pixelated text is a little bothersome.
I'm going to try to put up with it for a few weeks and see if it still bothers me. I'm hoping I'll get used to it...

Came from a DX & a Charge both rooted & rommed very nicely, but this thing just runs damn smooth right out of the box. But bloatware, please go away...
Glad I have it instead of the others, but it's already running with an inferior processor & screen (tho they both function remarkably well). Verizon really pulled a [cr]apple move by c*ck blocking Samsung's quest for world domination, but wth, saw that coming a mile away...
I think what's really keeping the buyers remorse at bay (if you can actually call it that) is the better deal & accessory pack that came with it from Costco. I never would have shelled out the dough for any docks, but now that I have both I'll use them all the time. & thanks for the extra battery & charger that aren't even available on Ebay yet!

Coming from the iPhone 4 and loving it. Screen isn't same quality as iP 4 but nothing to complain about.

Came from the DX and the bionic is the bees knees. Its smooth and fast once rooted and de-bloated. Battery is an issue for sure but i intend on getting the extended battery today.

Coming from two Htc phones its different. My only gripe is the loud obnoxious vibrate and the dull screen. And what's up with the battery only dropping by the 10s? Once the htc vigor comes out ill probably switch but have to buy retail. For now it works i suppose. CM7 would be nice!

I came from the droid charge (aka piece of junk), and this Bionic has brought me back to the best droid experience. That is, my original droid experience.

Came from an HTC Eris ... needless to say I love everything about this phone.

Coming from rooted & rom'd (Virtuous) DInc, TOTALLY loving the bionic! SO much faster, SO much smoother, love having the front facing camera and the bigger screen, LOVE FINALLY having decent dock accessories (seriously, wth is up with the DInc never getting a decent charging cradle or car dock??), too many other bonuses to list here, all in all I'm 100% satisfied with my new bionic!

Coming from a Droid2, loving the Bionic. There was no option for me to click, so I didn't vote.

Love it, from the coming from the Original Droid!

Rooted Bionic Love it!
Verizon had the extended batteries 50% off for 4g phones!!!! $27 for Bionic Extended battery!!!!
Pete's One Click root was easy fast and perfect, done the first time!!!!

I'm coming from the OG Incredible and I believe this is the phone that should be called INCREDIBLE!!!!

Coming from a Samsung Fascinate. Loving it for the most part, just kinda miss that SAMOLED Screen...

i really love this phone. had the dinc before with virtuous as well. but now i'm getting slightly annoyed with the pentile. yes, i said it. i really don't want to bring this back because of this. let me see if i can get use to it for a couple of more days.

I've had the phone completely freeze up 3 times and I'm unable to even light up the screen. Only a battery pull will revive the phone. Oddly enough it's after the phone has been taken off the charger. I'll wait until the stores get a new batch of them in, then see about a replacement.

I love it so far.

Thanks i wiil wait for some othee phones

Yea I just switched from my cm7 thunderbolt that I got on launch day at the Verizon store I work at and I'm kind of uneasy about the switch I made but my thunderbolt sold that day for 200of the 300 that it cost for the bionic so no going back now. Either way worst case scenario I upgrade on of the phones on my contract lines to a quad core next year. So if you have the opportunity to switch later go for it but if you have to keep it for 20months I would wait

I've had the Bionic for 2 days and returned it. Back on the Thunderbolt.
I recommend waiting another month or so. Something else will come out.

That is exactly what I am doing.......Switching from the Thunderbolt to the Bionic.
It has been painless so far. Switched the 4G sim cards and SD cards. Then pointed TiBu to where to backups were and restored all my apps from the Thunderbolt.
The Bionic is blazing fast and the battery is awesome. But need more testing for battery life to get a better results....

I also came from a Thunderbolt.. and in my opinion, the Bionic while being a very nice phone and powerful - feels very intermediary to the next "big thing".. It doesn't feel like "the phone to have for the next year" to me... Either way, haven't sold my Tbolt and i'm giving it about 10 days before deciding if i'm keeping the Bionic or returning it.

Same here. Truly hate the screen. Like almost everything else. Battery has been better but not amazing. I'll keep it and sell it for the prime.

I personally don't own a TB, but know several who do. The Bionic is a much nicer phone in just about every aspect. Battery life is much better not just a little. "Reviews" of the Bionic are only opinionated "initial impressions" just like my statement above
And the screen....coming from an amoled and slcd Inc....it's actually very nice. The best outdoor viewing I've seen on any phone.

bionic screen and no data+voice over 3g
hate the screen.
hate the fact that one cannot do data + voice over 3g like the t-bolt
love the build quality
love the call quality
net, net - keeping my bolt for either the htc vigor (oct. 6 launch according to sources on the web).

That is my only gripe so far. That should be standard on all LTE phones.
I'm going to use it for another week and decide. Battery life and screen is the only thing making me think twice about going back to the tv.

Keeping the bionic, wifey gets the TB. Like someone else in this thread stated, the bionic feels like an intermediate step forward rather than a leap. Still, I'm quite happy with it. I refuse to obsess over the pentile screen. Has any other TB owner noticed how great this phone is in direct sunlight? The TB was tough to use outside.

If you are in a 3g area, then I would wait. My data connection is worse than when the Thunderbolt just came out. I lose data for hours. I toggle modes (cdma/lte) switch airplane mode off and on, and reboot. Reboot works most often. When I'm on wifi and on cdma mode, the verizon data stays connected. But either way my battery (always on cdma) dies in less than 10 hours
If you use your phone outside then you'll like the Bionic screen.
I don't have an opinion if you are in a 4G area.

Can you please elaborate on this point? I have a TBolt and it is impossible to read the screen in sunlight. How readable is the Bionic?

It's so bright you can read it outside with sunglasses on. It does however have a funny hue to it with sunglasses on that I don't have with the Thunderbolt

I didn't notice any hue with my Oakley's. Love being able to see the screen with them on.

In direct sunlight with sunglasses on it is very readable. I've never seen a smart phone screen this viewable in the sun.

I have a TB that I just went back to. Bionic is better, but with locked bootloader, wifi tether issues, and price, it isn't worth using my upgrade IMO. Now, if I wasn't already on a 4 g device like my old droid x, then I would say get a bionic, you will love it.

I am having that exact debate with myself. Already having a 4g device do I need this phone? Call quality is 100 times better though.
Having full control of my TB is nice. I can tether at will and talk and surf on 3g.

Who is getting the HTC vivid or already has it?

I know I am

IMO as soon as you overclock the Vivid the Skyrocket doesn't have much point...
Seems like the only reason you might want it is because it's light and thin compared to the Vivid, but the Vivid sounds like a solid phone and reviews so far seem to like the materials.

I might get it too, it looks good.

I will most likely go for the Vivid, I've only owned iPhones and the Galaxy S (Captivate) always wanted to try an HTC, though the battery is larger in the skyrocket. Like was stated I'm sure it will be OCed to 1.5 or higher to match the skyrocket.
If the Skyrocket had better resolution, 480x800 is pretty low at 4.5" I'd go Skyrocket fore sure.

I'm at the at&t store now getting the HTC vivid

i'm vouching for HTC, great phones. I owned a sensation and fell in love with it

I am not i think its weird looking

Taking my Infuse back today
I had the OG SGS2, traded it in for the Infuse, and am going today to trade that one in for the Vivid. I'm hoping this is my last stop! This will be the first HTC android phone that I buy, but based on the quality of my old WM HTC phones, I'm looking forward to getting this one!

Just picked up mine about 15 mins ago and its looking pretty sweet so far. Can't wait for it be rooted and some custom roms.

got mine 2 hours now its very good and fast. cant wait to get rooted and overclocked to see what this baby can really do.

Picked mine up a few minutes ago as well. Love it so far. HTC makes very high quality devices

Has anyone picked up the white one? Curious how it looks in person.

Just got mine.
Coming out of a Tilt 2. What a change.

I got mine a few hours ago its a great device the one thing I noticed so far is the volume level its pretty low compared to the gsII varients besides that it beats out the skyrocket.

Sent from my HTC PH39100 using xda premium

i know there is a thread on here to vote for which phone u want a forum for so if anybody hasn't already search and vote. Also i did notice that it is quiet. But im getting better download speeds than with my rooted Inspire which was 3mbs down and 1.6 up now im getting 6mbs down and 1.6 up with my vivid and im not even in a LTE network

Just picked mine up. I looked at the white one...not a fan. fun fun!

I got mine as well and man oh ma is LTE fast! Can't post screenshot yet cause its not rooted but I'm consistently getting high 20 mbs down and 12 mbs up! I'm in Dallas and this speed is ridiculous. Hopefully I'll get decent amount of battery life with this phone. Gave my wife the galaxy s2 with cm7.

I am most likely gonna get one as well considering I keep getting Hardware issues with my Atrix 2 I just got. That and HTC is Quite a bit easier to root and s-off than Motorola as far as I remember. That and I also won't have to wait for unlocked bootloader which might take quite awhile. Only problem though is that I bought my Atrix 2 from Best Buy who for some odd reason are selling the HTC Vivid for 100 More than ATT is selling it at.

Worth it?

I want to hear from yall who trade the s3 or 1x for to get the atrix hd. I work at a place that has it and playing around with it is smooth. I have the one x and the screen on the ahd looks a little better with detailed video and all that. Is it worth trading my one x for or selling to get the phone?

I will let you know over the weekend
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda premium

I would take the Atrix HD over the One X
But I'd take the SGS3 over both.
A lot of the people who got the One X traded down to an Atrix HD
Battery life sucked the first two days I had it. I started using SmartActions and the battery extender that comes with it plus juice defender. I used my phone all day yesterday, I left it off the charger and still had 53% on my battery at noon the next day.
Thats about the same life span as an Iphone.
Hardware performance is great out of the SGS3 and the One X the Atrix HD is just as fast, or faster. Once it's rooted and some changes can be made to the build.prop I see the Atrix HD beating the SGS3 easy in performance. The LTE performance is worth it, and the Atrix HD keeps up with it well.
The phone feels solid, no loose parts that rattle, and the construction feels solid with no feeling of plastic flexing when holding the phone. The Kevlar weave pattern on the back look modern and the rubberish feel makes it secure in your hand for calls.
People complain about the Camera, but it could be a lot worse. For the most part its an improvement over the Atrix 2 which it replaced.
I use the Facial recognition and the front 1.3mp camera hasn't had any problems picking up my face in sunlight or indoor low light.
All of the camera issues can be solved if you know how to setup your shots instead of relying on software to auto focus & auto iso.
The One X just felt like a toy in my hand, and I couldnt stand the UI. The SGS3 is nice, but for the price I expected far better build quality, and the touchwiz launcher is downright ugly and belongs on the Iphone. With the Atrix HD everything is as close to stock as you can get except for the launcher and Circles widget.

Thanks for replying we have it at Wal-Mart wireless where I work and it cool just can't rely test it as much as I would like without getting caught playing with it all day. I had the s3 for about 3 days and didn't like it because of touchwiz. I like how the ui is basically stock android with Motorola's icons. It runs smooth without it being plugged in to these horrible chargers here at Wal-Mart which ruin these phones. I don't mind the little lose in the screen size since its not a big difference. Screen to me seems more detail than one x and colors pop more to me mabe not to someone else's eyes the only thing that I'm questioning is battery life since some say it's not good but if the smart actions work and the battery saver part does well then maybe I'll like it

If you didnt like the S3 and you dont like the One X, then you'll really like the Atrix HD.
At least I did and I know a few others who traded down from the SGS3 and love the HD
I got my Motorola Atrix HD in the black color cause I didnt see the white one, but they both look really sexy.
Edit: I hated touchwiz. I had it on my Captivate before I switched to Cyanogen. I miss my Captivate.

I love the one x but I've always like Motorola I had the photon on sprint I liked it a lot but I'm just one to go from one phone to the next. I put my sim in it and it picked up better signal and data speed than my one x where I'm at. Constantly. I'm in hspa+ and got average of 5 mps while the one x is 2-4

I dont get 4g in my house, but my 4g LTE coverage is awesome around here. I Constantly see 20-25Mbs Download and 15Mbs upload from my Atrix HD
It has a better Upload speed than my cable internet.

Ex-EVO LTE Owners...

I'm basically a phone addict. I've had the PPC-6700, Mogul, Vogue, TP, TP2, EVO, and now EVO LTE. The EVO was the only phone that I've kept for the life of my two year contract. I'm one year into my EVO LTE and there's nothing really wrong with it other than the fact that I'm bored.
Was the upgrade worth it to you guys or now that the novelty has worn off? Let me know!

Worth it, totally. The qualcomm s600 has some balls and sense 5 is the fastest version ever
Sent from my HTCONE using Tapatalk 2

Honesty, if I didn't have an upgrade, I could have waited. I was on the evo 4g lte as well. I have 4 phone lines on my plan, so I get to upgrade every year. I was running meanbean from the start then went to sense 5. I'm sure it's even better now.
I think the biggest difference is the sound from the front facing speakers.
It is much faster, but I'm not a gamer, do that's pretty much a wash.
It is beautiful and build quality is awesome. I use cases on my phones, so that's a wash as well.
The camera is way better on the ONE as well.
If you're really deadset on upgrading, I'm sure the evo is still worth something. I got $100 for the old og evo.
Just my $.02 of course.
Sent from my HTCONE using Tapatalk 2

completely worth it for me, i got so sick of the lte reception issues with the lte. battery life is amazing and the speakers are great for watching movies or streaming music at work.

Well, I had the Evo LTe and my wife still has it.
Honestly, I don't see the rush to update. I called Sprint they gave me a deal buy back my contract on the EVolte and cost me $380.00 for the early upgrade. Trust me... The EVo Lte is up too par with the Htc One. Except the live feeds, some camera features and display. But overall camera, performance and speed the EvoLte is equally matched.

I have to disagree. With 2 gb of ram, multitasking finally works right. Also, when sending mms, its far faster on the One to attach pics to the mms, including more than one pic. If its an AOSP rom on the LTE, then yeah its kinda close.

I have had the HTC Touch Pro, The HTC Touch Pro 2, EVO, Evo3D, EVO LTE, HTC One. The evo was ahead of it's time, but the 3D was actually one of my favorite upgrades. It was fast, going to the evoLTE from the 3D wasn't that impressive in my opinion. I always had issues with wi-fi on the evoLTE. It was a good phone but not something I was blown away on. The HTC ONE is amazing. The speakers alone are worth the upgrade. The way it's built is HTC's best built phone ever. It's super fast, battery rocks, wi-fi actually works correctly (at least for me). It's a very worthy upgrade, I couldn't wait to get rid of my evo LTE again mainly cause I had wi-fi issues. Could have been just my hardware. The one had worked perfect for me so far except my simulated battery pull doesn't seem to work correctly. Other than that, it's the most impressive upgrade I have had since I have been using smart phones. All the evo devices I have had on release day so I have had plenty of time using each one.

Paid for my one outright. Bit my wallet pretty bad, but it's worth every cent. The screen, the speakers, the cpu, the build, everything kicks the crap out of the lte. The ONLY thing that bothers me is...no miss my kickstand. I go to put my phone down and ..I...I don't know what to do with myself. Although the thing that has kept me the most happy so far is working radios. Consistent 3g, and I can actually hold an lte signal now!

I don't regret upgrading in the slightest. My evo battery life was so god aweful and random freezes, I had so many problems with it. The HTC One is like a godsend to me. I love being able to listen to pandora at work and at the end of the day still have 30 percent battery life left.

Im an ex evo user. I got1and a half times the battery life with it. No comparison whatsoever. If course I used custom kernel but I am with this phone also. But with the evo I could have5 hours screen on and still get a total of 20 hours use. Just my 2 cents. My son had the evo as I gave it to him and he laughs when I have to charge this phone. We don't have lte where we live so thats not an issue. And for this camera being better I'm not sure that's the case either. We have done comparison shots and in my opinion the right megapixel it's definitely better in certain situations by far. Just my input. Thanks.

I was just a original Evo user - now I have the One - what a great phone. HTC understands what were about.

Get the One. I still have my Evo LTE and I do comparison and the One just outshines it. Better display. True multitasking, doesn't reload every app after leaving it. Better sound quality with and without headphones, you definitely can tell a difference. No lag issues at all. For instance. Download a torrent file on your Evo LTE, that phone will lag like hell. Do the same with the One, it will perform with no lag. If you're a gamer go with the One. Just get it. Best phone I've had.
My phone history is Motorola Q, HTC Mogul, Sidekick LX, IPhone, Touch Pro, Touch Pro 2, Evo 4G, Evo LTE, now the One.

Have had each "EVO" (4G, 3D, 4g-LTE) since I came back to Sprint a while ago...
In Chicago, we've had LTE since last Fall. I do notice a difference in Speed (3-5Mbps faster in some areas) vs. my "4gLT-EVO." That alone was worth it to me!

Forgot that. 4G fights to light up on your phone. The LTE would stay on 3g until I cut my mobile network off and back on.

Yep, Got rid of my LTE for the One, the only thing that's taking me a while to get used to are my capacitive buttons. I just found out that double tapping the home button brings up the recent apps lol. I miss the camera buttons as well.
But once you get used to that, everything else is great. I love it, love Zoe, love the sound, screen size, and the hassle-free 4G. I've had it for almost 2 weeks now and I'm yet to root it, longest I've gone, so, no complaints here.

While I was driving to the sprint store to get my One I kept saying why am I getting this new phone? After I got it there's no question that it was the right decision lol both moms have evo ltes now and I could never go back
