If you love your Bionic, post here!

The Bionic is not the end-all, be-all to phones and I'm not going to pretend it is. However, I do truly love this phone and I don't regret buying it one iota. What it does right greatly outweighs what it doesn't do perfectly.

Out of curiosity, what would you change / add / fix about the bionic?
 
Bump! Because I still love my Bionic. :D

After hearing about the G-Nex and Razr, though they are somewhat better phones, I don't think it's worth the hassle to sell or try to return my Bionic. This phone is still fast and I'm confident that I'm keeping it especially since I use all the accessories I received with my bundle.

My thoughts exactly. I am as happy as a clam!
 
I'd have to point out that I did get the latest and greatest when it was out. Not playing the waiting game like some other phones. I watched this phone grow from the first time it was announce last year til now. I did play the waiting game with this phone but it was the phone that caught my eye and my attention and I stuck with it despite the delays. I was ready to throw in the towel and opted for other phones. Even looked at the iPhone 4 >.>. Did I give up? No. I finally got it. I finally have it in my hands. Am I disappointed? No. Will there be bigger and better phones? Of course. Technology rolls faster than we can keep up with. Disappointed? No. What will I do? Keep flashing away and making this device last me til my next upgrade. By then I'll pick up the next latest and greatest and play this game all over again. If something catches your eyes most likely its the phone for you. If it doesn't and things about it bug you then you got the wrong phone. Wait for the phone that knocks your pants off. As for me I'll sit here playing with my phone while you sit there and wait for your phone to get released.
 
Here *salutes the bionic clan* ive had it for two weeks now, very pleased. I'll be keeping it for a long time, its silly to think the razr and nexus is better lol. Technology is moving so damn fast, withing 3-5 months, razr,nexus prime ribs is old news lol. Just enjoy the phone *DROoOoIiIiIiIiiiiiD* lol
 
I love mine... I'm coming from an iPhone4 so of course I'm still getting used to the screen and I need to get a new camera apk but I love my bionic!
 
Except for the past year of having a BB Bold forced on me by work, I have had a Motorola phone of some sort since my Bag Phone (Google it kids) in the late 1980's. I have never had to return or have a repair.

I decided to do an end around on the work phone and buy my own smartphone and just activate it to replace the BB. I got the Droid 3 and found after a few weeks that I didn't use the physical keyboard as much as I thought I would and about that same time my wife decided she wanted to get a smartphone slider....so we got a Bionic with her new contract and swapped the numbers so I now have the Bionic.

I'm sure the Razr will be a cool phone and thinner is always better but the whole non-removable battery bothers me. I keep phones for years and have had to replace the battery at least once on about every phone I've owned. I know HTC and Samsung and Apple make a nice phone too but didn't see any advantage over the Motorola. I know by the time I get rid of the Bionic there will be 75 newer better phones out there, but put me down for loving my Bionic.
 
Having had the OG, then a DX, DX2, T-Bolt, BB 9930, and an iphone (in the last year) i can without a doubt say it is the BEST and fastest (blows my T-Bolt outta the water) Phone i have ever had..

LOVE IT!
 
I coming from Droid x1& 2 this is the best phone I had so far! Only problems I have with this phone is the data con lost and the display is not bright as my other Droids I had

I upgraded from a Droid X. I have it and the Bionic. I just compared them side-by-side ... the Bionic is slighly brighter than the Droid X. Neither has a screen protector. Perhaps you have a screen protector on the Bionic that is making it appear dimmer?

Hopefully the lost data connection issue will be corrected with the update that is supposed to be released this month.

I had them side by side both had screen protectors but I also had softwere issues with the bionic so they sent me a new one and I never had a chance to compare them again

But I am pretty happy with this phone and I know there is going to be issues with the bionic being so new
 
Hey, I'm just happy to have a phone that can actually make phone calls...If was ever in a situation where I needed to contact 911 I would've been screwed with my Eris.
 
Still liking my Bionic, even though it seems to have been abandoned by the primaries, Verizon and Motorola. -and yes I know how old this thread is. :p

If no ICS by the end of September then I'm off the chain and hacking the [EXPLETIVE DELETED] out of this thing.
The hardware is incredibly capable.
 
I came from a DX & I've loved this phone since I got it. And ever since I started running ICS it is the best phone ever.
 
I got my Bionic the day it came out (September 2011?) after month after month of delay. It was a total piece of garbage -- spontaneously rebooting (sometimes during a call), locking up, munching up the batteries in 4 - 5 hours, and worst of all, losing connection to cellular internet every 15 minutes. I called Verizon a bunch of times to complain, they had me reload the phone several times (and wipe all my settings), which didn't even work and cost me many hours in re-setting up my phone. They sent me a jumbo battery to shut me up, and told me to just use 3G or wifi (!!??). So I just waited .... and waited.

Eventually, they solved the 4G cellular internet login refresh thing around ... January? And they somehow fixed the battery-chomping because now I can usually get through a day on the small (original) battery. And I can go out on my bike and depend on the map working with 4G instead of 'connecton lost'.

I find it hard to believe they would release this phone in the condition they released it in. It was an embarrassing half-baked piece of crap when it came out, and I think Motorola and Verizon were almost criminal in selling this thing.

Some time around spring of 2012 they seem to have finished all the beta testing and completed development on the phone. Now, it's a great phone, I love it. But I put up with six months of having a pretty useless piece of crap. Let's hope the manufacturers and cell carriers never pull this BS again.
