Good news everyone! [/Prof. Farnsworth]
The bright and talented cvpcs has offered to be our maintainer for CyanogenMod. All he needs now...is a Bionic!
We *do* have 2nd init working on the Bionic, all we need is to wait for koush to get his Droid 3 and write CWM for that, then we can have it ported over to the Bionic (literally almost exactly the same phone) which should take not more than a week.
SO! We need to get cvpcs a Bionic! We have a paypal setup that he will get the money for the Bionic and anyone and everyone who is willing to donate *any amount* can donate if they please.
Clicky:
Our goal is $630*, to get it straight from Verizon! PM me with how much you donated and I'll put your name on a list in the OP! Thanks to everyone who will donate in advance.
Total so far: $630+ We've reached our goal!

*Including tax
9/11/11 update: CVPCS just wanted me to let you guys know this: This will not be *his* Bionic. It will be the community's. He wants everyone to know that and he also says that if there's ever a time where he cannot be the maintainer anymore, he will gladly hand it over to the next person who wants to maintain it. He's not getting this phone because we're throwing money at him and he wants the phone, he's getting this so he can help the community and for us to be able to run CM7 on our devices.
GLiDE-68 just sent you $10...
I think you'll figure it out by the email address similarity... LoL...

Getting paid in a week, you'll have some more cash then!
After getting screwed on the D1 by cvpcs, I find it hard to buy him a phone.

I think a 2nd init ROM on the Bionic is going to be kind of a waste unless you have the extended battery.
I tried CM4DX and I was lucky to get 10 hours out of a full charge. Installed ApeX RC3 and was getting 16+ hours on a full charge.
My Bionic is currently giving me about 10 hours of usage without switching off 4G, so I'm guessing that would be about 6 hours on a 2nd init ROM.
I hope I'm wrong... good luck guys!
I was getting 16+ on CM4D2 Froyo and GB, with GPS always on and normal usage. Let's try to keep the thread on topic, though.
Donated 20 this morning. Cant wait for these beast to have CM7, finally got it on my DX enjoyed it for a few months then got a Charge and missed CM7 instantly.
donated $10 to a good cause!
can't wait to start tinkering!
I hope 10 bucks help
15 inbound!
Thanks to everyone who's donated so far! Just hit the $300 mark (about)!
Also, see the OP for an update and a message from cvpcs himself!
I live in orange in cali who wants to trade?
There's a Marketplace forum for this kind of stuff...
There is one guy that called me an idiot because I was thinking in going to Sprint
In all honesty, I do believe the 4G Network from Verizon is amazing, and Samsung Galaxy S II is NOT 4G (let's say 3.5G or whatever)
Bottom line it won't reach 14000 kbps/s like the 4G LTE Devices of Verizon
So Samsung Galaxy vs HTC Thunderbolt, yeah it might be a better device but on the other hand the speed of the network is not as fast
So I don't see a clear winner, I will give a slight advantage to Samsung Galaxy S II on sprint.
I have to pay around $50 per month to stay in Verizon (since my family all have Verizon), so that was another good thing about them, it's a little more economical for me
But anyway, some guy told me that the HTC VIGOR will be an awesome device from Verizon, so what I did was
1) Buy cash $260 HTC Thunderbolt (new device, or as good as new)
2) I have my credit in Verizon still (I can use it when HTC Vigor arrives)
I would like to thank the person that recommended me the HTC Vigor, I was really disapointed with Bionic
For the people that said that I work for another carrier, haha, I'm just a user, and I was EXTREMELY disappointed with the BIONIC
Thanks guys, thanks especially to the guy that recommended the Vigor, I am 99% sure it will be a great device
Good luck...bye bye
Quit trolling you already posted a thread about this. Just return the damn thing already.
Good riddance, one dbag troll bites the dust with YET ANOTHER "gibs muh attenshunz" post. Don't let the door hit you. I take that back. Refrigerator.

Is it worth $150 ? if its working good and i meet up at a verizon store to buy it to ensure a clean esn.
I am tired of my droid incredible and have an upgrade on my account and am waiting for the new uber phones to hit in the next few months.
I guess i could sell the bionic in a few months for close to what i paid for it.
hmmmm
any ideas ? or is the bionic not worth wasting my time on in the meantime.
150$ is a good price. Especially if its in good condition. It Basicly has same hardware as Razr and Droid 4. I had an incredible and I can tell u this phone is much better. Only problem is locked bootloader so development is slow. But for stock is still runs good. I just run it stock rooted with LP and TiB to freeze bloat. Bionic will certainly hold u off until u wanna upgrade. (I also got an upgrade comin up this year)
It is so worth it at that price... It's not that bad of a phone. It could be better but no phone can compete with the Bionic at that price.

I would buy it. I got mine off Craigslist for $200 a while back.
I have the HTC TBolt and I find myself using the Bionic more. I have it rooted but using the stock ROM. Love it
Just saw it today radioshack.com has the Bionic for $9.99 online price no rebates needed.
That's a steal. Just goes to show how underrated the Bionic is.

Hell of a deal but most people are too hung up on the locked bootloader and the hype of whatever the latest gadget of the month is to even give it a glance.
You'd have to be crazy to lock in a two year deal on a Bionic right now. Don't get me wrong, I love the phone, but there are many better options.

Not for ten bucks there aren't. The real down side is being forced into the share plan garbage however.
I switched from my Atrix 2 to the Bionic. And while its a older phone this thing runs a lot better then my Atrix 2. I am running the .232 ICS leak on it. I had bought my Bionic last week at best buy for the 99.99 price and went yesterday and they price matched me. We were going to switch out my wifes Incredible 2 for it but best buy was out of stock on the Bionic, so they priced matched her the 10 bucks on the Incredible 4g LTE phone.
Atrix 2 and Bionic are the same phone, essentially.

That Incredible 4G is a great little phone, I bet the wife loves it. Just got my fiance the Bionic, for 160 in excellent shape. Now just to get ICS on it...
I got my bionic for free at bestbuy it was the 16GB one the 32 was 149.99 but then I also got a 50 dollar gift card funny thing was they didn't even have the 16GB listed

16GB is basically the phone with no external micro SDCard.
