I am not sure what you are looking for or where you live, but if you live in a 4g area, I would consider a 4g phone. That being said, with the Bionic being released soon, I would consider waiting for it. It sounds to me like you can wait a little by the post stating "possibly". If you cannot wait, then I would go into the store to play with both phones and strongly consider weighing the option of having 4g. As far as which phone is better for you, I would play with both, consider weight, size, options, speed, etc. It sounds to me like you have already searched the forums for reliability and known issues. Good luck!
