Just came from a ThunderBolt check out my review: Link
.
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.
Hello XDArs,
Currently i am using the Droid Revolution, but planning on buying the Bionic. Any suggestions/feedback that you guys can give me about the Bionic?
I have been reading user reviews all over the internet, but i feel true review comes from somebody who has used/operated the phone for a longer period of time.
Please throw in any feedback...
The bionic is awesome. It is super fast and its just a very nice device. I must tell you one thing so you are not caught off guard. The screen is not great. It looks very good but when you compare it to an iphone 4 or Samsung charge under low light it will not look as good as either of the mentioned phones. In the daylight even under direct sunlight it looks awesome and better than any other screen I had. I highly recommend the extended battery especially because its only 25 bucks.
If you're looking to root your phone and start flashing roms and kernels right away I would go with something else since it'll probably be a short while for the bootloader to get unlocked

After a few days of use, I can tell you that its a fantastic device. The overall experience is positive, and I would only caution you about the camera focus issue, and minor bugs in skin. Both of these will probably be solved in the near future... It is a new phone after all.

I'm in the same boat as OP. However, I have the tbolt. I want the latest and greatest, and the wife will inherit the bolt.
I get it that the Bionic is pretty nifty, but is there anything in verizon's pipeline(around the corner) worth waiting for over the Bionic?
Thanks, all!
Best Android device I've used.
Screen its great. As long as you don't put out directly up to your eye ball, it is a beautiful high resolution display that is perfectly viewable on direct sunlight.

Okay so I have add plenty of new phones, and the Bionic Dual Core Processor and incredible 4g coverage is the perfect mix that will satisfy anyone. I am a owner of the Motorola Droid x (3g coverage only) , HTC thunderbolt (3G and 4G), and now the Motorola Droid Bionic, and this far the bionic is deff the best phone. I reccommend to get it now because vzw has a special on extended batteries for under 30$. This is a amazing deal because the life of the phones is 24+ with moderate use and 4g coverage almost always available.

24+ hours..??? and you have so many phones..u shud sell your bionic to me,..
The bionic is very quick. I came from a droid x and this beats the droid x in speed in every possible way. Web browsing feels just as quick, if not faster, than an ipad 2. I recently connected my droid to my tv with an HDMI cable and i'm really happy with the different options it gives you.
People are talking about this screen "problem" but I never noticed anything wrong with the screen until the threads started to pop up.
The only thing that I'd like to figure out is how to put pictures into folders to organize what I want to see.
If all this appeals to you I say get the bionic with the extended battery.
If you have to ask yourself "hmm...should I buy this?" the answer is don't buy it. Only buy something you truly want. You already have the experience of 4G, all that's left is to get a powerful phone, and if you can get something like the Prime in a couple months, I'd tell you to wait for that.
I am just looking/fishing for hard facts.....want to buy based on facts.....

Yeah, its the same people that will walk up to a 36" 720p television screen and complain about the lack of full hd, when in fact the difference isn't noticeable to the eye unless you are right on top of it.
Holding the phone as little as 12 inches, give or take yields a beautifully crisp image. Text and all.
Even engadget digs the screens. They raved about the qhd in the x2, and for some reason I feel this one is even better (I owned, and am currently trying to sell the x2). For the most part they are usually right in the ballpark with their reviews, imo.

I upgraded from an OG Droid, and this phone is flat amazing comparatively. Get the extended battery though, and turn off 4G if you aren't using it. It's a battery hog. I got about 14 hours out of the stock battery with 4G off most of the day; only used about 30 minutes worth throughout the day. I had 30% battery left after about 14 hours on the extended battery (first day, batteries seem to get better after about a week) and that was with about an hour of solid 4G usage in there.
One odd thing about this (and in searching, it seems to be happening on other 4G phones, so it must have something to do with 4G and 3G decisions on the phone) but from time to time, 3G disappears. There is a thread about this question here, but I can't post because I don't have 10 posts and it's a development thread. All you have to do to fix the data connection is put the phone in Airplane mode for a second, then turn airplane mode off. It resets the radio and 3G comes back. Even if you turn on and use 4G, 3G doesn't want to come back until you reset the radio.
All in all, great phone, much better battery than OG Droid, awesome display, camera needs work and motorola is working on it, very smooth and fast, and the 4G is blazing. My best download is 21Mbps, and my best upload is 7.7Mbps.

Somewhat buggy.
If you have a Nissan or Infiniti with BT, BT is going to suck no matter what due to Nissan's horrible implementation. That said, Bionic's BT was the best of HTC, Samsung, and Moto phones I had. The least amount of distortion I've had while using the car's speakerphone. I've seen some complaints with Ford's SYNC as well.
However, it wouldn't automatically connect with the car all the time and it would randomly drop at times. I'd have to tell it to manually connect with the car or it would just sit there. Even with the manual connections, it would take longer than other phones.
Not a huge deal, but it is somewhat annoying.
Biggest annoyance can be the screen. You have to look at it and play with it to see if it's something that works for you or not. Works for some, not for others.
I also had some issues using the sdcard storage when connected to my PC. Sometimes only one of sdcards would mount. Sometimes neither would. In those cases, it took a reboot to fix it.
Other than those issues, great phone overall. Great signal and reception, and LTE rocks. Phone ended up not working for me, but it can be a good choice for some.

Subjective. Everyone's eyes are different and pick up on different things. I could hold it at over 12" and still see the pixelation. It was really noticeable when green or blue was a dominant color on the screen. Look at the demo of Let's Golf 2 and it was quite obvious when it was all green.
Others will focus on color saturation and make a call either way too.
It'll bother some and not others. Neither opinion is more right than the other as it's a personal thing.
Here's my summary on the phone. This is subjective based upon my few days with the Bionic so its not a final definitive opinion but simply my views on the Bionic.
Pros: Fast device. 4G speed is great. Phone feels pretty light in hand yet still "heavy" enough to where it doesn't feel too bulky. Moto Blur for the most part on the Bionic is pretty tolerable enough to where I actually didn't think about using any home screen replacements. Sound quality is very good out of the speaker. 720p/1080p video recording is decent. ZumoCast works great for streaming audio. Battery life at least from the few days I had the Bionic was pretty good as I got about 17 hours with "moderate" use... however....
Cons: ... the battery life isn't so good when you start to use it beyond "moderate" usage such as streaming video or even heavy audio/bluetooth use. The screen is very lackluster due to it being pentile - I highly recommend you play with the phone via store demo for at least 5-10 minutes to see if this bothers you. Camera quality is so-so and could be better. No camera hard button on the phone like the original Droid had but then again it seems like most phones have abandoned that. A bit overpriced at $299 since I feel $199 is stretching it for this phone.
I have generally good things to say about this phone, but since you already have a LTE phone, I might suggest standing aside until the next generation starts rolling.
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

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

I am posting a follow up thread on my review of my new Nexus 4 16 after two full days of what I would consider normal use. I used the same routine I would be using with my trusty GNEX and spared the phone no mercy.
Call quality and reception has been excellent on the T-Mobile US network and some of my clients have actually asked me if I changed phones because I sound better on the new N4, a positive feedback.
Battery life is actually a little better then the GNEX and I have always say if you are so worried about the battery life, Buy a GOOD car charger and it solves that issue.
I have been impressed with the speed and smoothness of this stock 4.2 JB ROM, the screen swipe is smooth with no lag and the apps launch quickly. The screen sharpness is top notch and in my opinion better then my GNEX.
The network connection has been perfect with no dropped calls and I have always had a solid 3G or H icon in the status bar, it would be nice to have a battery percentage indicator in the status bar though.
I used the Google voice function when texting and sending emails and I was impressed how fast the response time was, very little lag time when I was talking and the text was been generated on the screen.
So far this phone has been everything I expected it to be, yes 4G would be nice but for what I use the device for, 3G & HSPA is fine.I did not buy it to watch movies or play games. I use it as a phone and PDA like it was meant to be used.
My only complaint is a personal preference, but why is the hour text font on the lockscreen digital clock so much bigger then the minutes, drives me nuts looking at it. Maybe there is a way to change it and I just haven't found it yet.
Just my feedback and what is now my daily driver. I can't wait until the developers start build customs ROM's for it. Thanks Google for a great device that is priced just right for the person looking for a reliable wireless device. ME.

Cool, I dont understand your Movies reference. I have an Inspire 4g and it truley does not have 4g. Just HSPA. I play netflix all the time. Everyday. I don't think ppl understand the difference between 3g and HSPA. Its actually quite a bit. I hate when I am only connected to 3g.... ..

Yeap H = HSPA + = 4G under T-Mobile's network ... Not technically 4G as in LTE but close enough and fast enough for most users .. (Unless you upload and download massive files all the time)

I was also skeptical about the N4 screen, but now I like it and for me the colors are nice and the text is crisp. Just my opinion.
4G it's just a marketing campaign anyway as in really not even LTE it's 4G as they are completely different

Yeah, neither LTE or HSPA+ is 4G, I believe the real 4G is LTE-A.
If you got it from T-mous, can you try to see if tethering works? Does it have built in android tethering with usb and wifi option? Thanks
This screen in my opinion is the best I seen and I had just about every phone the blacks are black and the whites are super bright this phone is definitely fast everything opens instantly. This is why I say benchmarks mean ****.... Because this phone is insanely fast. I like it and the price made it even better. Battery life has been a little better then my s3 2 days is not really enough time to test that though. All in all I think you guys should be happy. I can not wait to see what this does with a good kernel

current hspa+ is not 4g
mimo multicarrier dc hspa+ is however..since it achieves 168mbps which is way beyond 4g standards
regardless..most lte used only get around 30mbps(that ive seen) so its not that far of a stretch..
So 4g is what? Speed only? I thought it was basically the generation after 4g...I don't think any 3g comes close to hspa+..my brothers often gets over 40mbps down..

True 4g is 100mbps it is all a gimmick. But let me tell you 40down is fast and another thing to remember is you won't feel a different from 7down to 20 it's all fast really. It is just bull how the company's say it is 4g it's really 3.5 g if that makes sense lol
4G is 4th Generation and unless I am mistaken Wimax is the only true 4th generation because LTE, HSPA+ came after and LTE-A is still comming. There is so little difference in the different flavors that they have bunched all the brothers together in marketing as 4G.
You are just playing with words, true 4g etc..if it is fast, has great coverage and does not drain the battery like a hooker on Broad st then it is all good to me..screw lte..

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

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.

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!

Thanks everyone. I have 5 lines on my account so I have an upgrade to use. I was worried about the One being able to hold an LTE connection because of some of the threads I've read. This is the only thing that bothers me about the ELTE.

Yeah the signal problem on my E lte was really pissing me off. The one is much better at holding it I have no idea what these guys are talking about

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 don't regret this phone even for one second, much more solid and better connections, speakers are also great!! I do miss the kickstand however and regarding photos I've taken some very nice outdoor pictures and the low light aka indoor photos blow the evo lte away for sure, I took pics side by side in a dimly lit room evo u could barely see a chair of sorts the one u could see the chair the detail on the cushin and the dresser on the other side and also the wall 5 ft behind it instead of just darkness..I'll try to grab some side by sides and show u what I mean

I went through all the same phones you listed plus a couple more I've had the Evo 3d and this is the nicest HTC phone I've had yet

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!
:good:

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
