Droid Bionic

Just picked up the latest and greatest from Motorola. Dual core processor 4G and huge screen, almost hard to hold as a phone! Only major drawback it doesn't pair with my EVO X bluetooth Wrote a note to Mitsubishi. Probably will require a trip to the dealer for an update flash I guess. Their going to have to come up with a more elegant solution with the rapid release of new phones. Wish I can just download an update to a USB drive and update myself.

That is good to know, let us know if the update fixes it. I don't know about anyone else but I am on the fence between the iphone 5 and Droid Bionic, so this could certainly be a deciding factor.

Great so far. Page loading and download speed is super fast. The 1080 HD camcorder is fantastic. I should upload some of my Evo. The phone is real big though, with the Otterbox cover It's almost difficult to get my my hand around it. If you have a iphone now you will really notice the size difference. By the way, I go it to pair just fine with my Evo, must not have been holding my my mouth right first try.

the bionic is a bad *** phone. but HTC has something coming out next month. dual core 1.5gig possessor, 1 gig ram, a better screen and some other cooler specs. i do not know how blue tooth works but maybe check it out and see if it will work with your guys cars.

its called the HTC Vigor. it will be replacing the HTC thunderbolt.

Draw back... it will be a year before the rom loader is hacked. Motorola phones are a ***** to crack. How much preloaded crap came on it?

Sorry, it crapped out the first try. I did it again later and it worked. First time I got a pairing error, maybe didn't like my four digit code or something. It also works great as my incar mp3 player with 32GB plenty of room to store my collection, and with bluetooth, no wires to mess with. I would like to find a cradle that will plug in to the cig lighter. Might have to wait a bit for all the aftermarket assesories to materialize.

DLNA is cool if you want to share videos and pictures on your TV or PC.

After reading tons of reviews and about the new phones that are coming soon from Moto and HTC the iPhone is going to have a hard time catching up.

not to make it sound like a fan-boy comment or anything, as I own both iOS and Android devices, but the iPhone isn't the one catching up.... It is still the number one selling phone. Android devices, as a whole, have more market. But in terms of individual sales, the iPhone has sold more than any phone ever.

I just bought me a bionic on saturday and hooked up bluetooth to my MR...its pretty seemless, listening to music via bluetooth does not sacrifice quality at all but theres a slight dely between pausing and skipping a song.
