It was a freaking disaster, delayed for weeks and nobody knew when it was going to come out. There was a new release date just about every day

Now there is a good question!

No offense to the Panda King but he didnt know the CES Bionic had been cancelled and said the same thing. He conceded 2 days later.......
There was no Google hot poker poking VZW to see how they react with that device and it had to launch to make the fancy and quickly expanding LTE network relevant with more than one or two devices FOR AWHILE with what was probably known of Bionic at that point.

...Living it up at the Hotel California....such a lovely place........
Raging tweets, roller-coaster of failed Verizon release date announcement after multiple reliable rumors, phone going from general users' expectation of early set back until well after the iPhone 4 release - that whole forum made this thread look like a Girl Scout picnic.
BMX even grabbed an account here to try to square things away and explain how things were changing under him.
With 6 mods openly posting at once, locking flame threads, giving infractions, temp bans and perma bans to stem the tide of flame flooding, BMX called it quits.
He may have returned later, long after release - honestly didn't check.

If you love games, then you're probably familiar with benchmarks. Pick a game and look at the FPS at 1024x768 resolution. Now look at the same benchmarks for 1900x1200 resolution. One is signifigantly lower. That's what you see with a lot of these benchmarks.
When the iP4 came out, it benchmarked much lower than the iP3S, because it had 4x the pixels to render.

I have a hard time believing Samsung can't work out LTE, they already have the Charge on the network so they have experience with it.

I was looking for the "no thanks" button but couldn't find one. So I'll just shake your hand inappropriately.
Dang! Too bad I missed that, sounds AWESOME! I was somewhat aware of the delays and such, but wasn't interested in a new phone at that point as I still didn't have a subsidy quite yet.
Then you had the locked/encrypted bootloader once it showed up which was kinda outta the norm for HTC right? Stuff like that is what has me REAL curious what all is really going on with this device.

Yeah not buying that story.

Actually it was rooted and had a fully unlocked bootloader within 48 hours.
By far the best thing about the phone
