I would swap because it will be officially receiving ICS. But if you can wait until the 11th the razr will be out.

+1 for swapping it out for the Bionic.. (or turning it back in and waiting for the Nexus) at that price. The definitive ICS update is worth it to me.

Nice to have that choice with no money outlay at the beginning. A hundred and twenty bux is a great price for the Bionic. I'd jump on it.

RAZR is something to possibly avoid. Reviews coming in say the battery life is NOT good. It's not completely awful, but the 4g eats up the battery like crazy.

Oh, and if you want to purchase an OEM extended battery for it, forget it. You can't change the battery. NOT a good design decision.

Battery life is a bit subjective to the user. Right now most of the reviews say the battery life is decent to good. Plus there is this settings manager application which seems pretty cool, it automates different things like turning on/off wifi/gps/etc at certain points of the day that you set it. So, we'll see... I think right now it's too early to tell what the battery life really is truly like. I don't think the reviewers have really had a good enough chance to really play with it and use it for a long enough period to compare it to other phones. Plus everyone who has reviewed it still has the "goo-goo-ga-ga" eyes for it now so I'm going to wait for someone to review it in the next few weeks after the newness has worn off.

Now the battery life on the Thunderbolt is atrocious! I almost picked it over the DX2 and I'm glad I didn't.
