I have this thing, I'm incredibly happy with it but I still don't know why they dropped the ball SOOOO hard with the screen. There's no way to deny it, I see that redicilous shimmering effect whenever I look at it. I do like how bright and vibrant the screen is but that weird effect is overwhelming at times. Other than that, not too many gripes with this phone.
@Bigchriztian01 um... not to enter in on your conversation but on an equal comparison, Android has more than twice the number of free apps vs Apple OS. Look it up if you don't believe me, Android has always and will always be more free and open than Apple OS. And if you mean sideloading paid apps, you have to jailbreak your iPhone/iPod/iPad to sideload them while with Android it's enabled by default on most phones and if it's not, there's a FREE app for it.
if you have a Iphone or ipod touch download this app "app trailers" and enter the code "freeitunes50" and get 50 dollars of itunes cards hurry before they fix it!!!
Two month later its obsolete. Motorola and all the Android OEM need to calm down on the releases and concentrate a little more on support. A little more quality and little less quantity.
Hi Lisa, great review! 1 quick question though. I'm looking to get a new phone this holiday. I have the Moto Droid 1 now and I like it, but it is pretty outdated by now. So I'm looking at these 3 phones, the Droid Bionic, Droid Razr, and Droid 3. Which would you recommend? The only reason I would want a droid 3 is because of the qwerty keyboard. What do you think?
@MobileTechReview I don't really need a qwerty keyboards, its just what I'm used to. I would certainly substitute the keyboard for other features. I actually don't know anybody with a 4G LTE phone, but I've never had a problem with my phone getting a signal in my town so I would assume the 4G LTE coverage has to be decent. Is there some sort of coverage map I can look at to see?
@cobradvs Yes, Verizon Wireless has a detailed map on their web site. The Bionic drains the battery very quickly in 4G LTE marginally covered areas. We are hoping that a software update will fix it, but there hasn't been one. If you have time, do check out our written review of the Droid RAZR on our site, as we discussed this in detail.
@MobileTechReview Hmmm so far I'm not too impressed with the Bionic when compared to the RAZR. Is that generally the case? The RAZR is a slightly improved Bionic? So basically my only choice is the Droid 3 and RAZR. Which is better on battery life?
@cobradvs I wouldn't say the RAZR is an improved Bionic. They are different. Only saying one has a better signal strength. 4G LTE phones tend to have shorter battery life, so Droid 3 wins in the respect. But LTE phones get supper fast data speeds. It really depends on what you want. Check out our full reviews of all three phones on MobileTechReview.
@MobileTechReview Ok one more question. I just checked out the map and I'm very close to being in full 4G LTE coverage, but mostly I'm in the extended 4G LTE area. So sometimes it will switch over the 3G according to the map legend. My question is, how does the speed compare when on 3G as opposed to 4G?
@MobileTechReview Hey Lisa, so I've been doing a little internet digging and looks like the Droid 4 is coming out December 4th, though its not been confirmed yet. Just wondering if you've heard anything about it because if its coming this soon, I might just get that. After watching your review of course
the bionic's video chat is SOOO poor quality that I PROMISE, I prefer the droid 1's video messaging. It's that bad. I'm thinking of returning it. It's that bad. It says its a deadlbreaker.
I'm gettingg my upgrade christmas day actually, whatt iss so farr the overall best phone to gett on Verizon? Out of all the Smartphone which one is balance with the best features, I'm having a time pickingg a 4gLTE phone.So the question is WHICH 4G LTE PHONE IS THE BEST?
@P0kem0ster If you can wait for another week or two, we can show you what the Galaxy Nexus is like. Then that should be it for all the super phones before year end.
The commercial they're posting now already scares me. They brag that you can get access to your home computer from this device. Isn't that a two way sword... if you can get access to your computer via a phone, I'm pretty sure someone else can eventually get access to it that way as well (hacking?).
@theaznfishy Nothing is hacker-proof in this world. I don't see Zumocast as having glaring security issues though. There are lots of remote access apps out there that so far have been safe.
@fightnight909 Sorry but no. iPhone = overall more accessories, more support, better service, no fragmentation, future proof, gets latest updates, better camera, better video recording, better battery life, WAY WAY more apps, better games, higher res display...
@MagicDrumSticks well,droid has fm radio,for example.plus the latest iphone 4s battery is terrible,it dies in 30 minutes of talking,looks like they have big problems with that.its supposed to have 200 hours of standby like this motorola
@kyuubiyura 30 minutes? I don't know what you're doing with your phone because I get over a day of usage. Lisa herself has said that the iPhone 4S has better battery life.
I have used to Bionic and the battery is just ok, iOS will always have better battery life because its not as intensive and taxing on the phone as an Android OS is, plus the fact that it has an LTE antenna, 1.2 ghz processor, bigger screen using more power.
So no, I strongly disagree with you, the iPhone has better battery.
@MagicDrumSticks well,ill be honest,i never had a motorola droid bionic or the last iphone 4s,im jsut asking around about it.as for the battery,not everybody has it,but there a definitely a lot of people with the battery bug for iphone.search google "iphone 4s battery problem" and youll get a lot of results.also i read that the battery life is supposed to be 200 hours of standby,just like bionic
@kyuubiyura Well my sister has it; honestly the screen is pretty good but it uses a PENTILE display which basically means that its not too sharp of a screen. The text was kind of blurry for such a high end phone (not bad though) but if you are going to go for an Android, go for a Samsung Galaxy S II over the bionic because it's the same specs and better graphics processing, the build quality on the samsung isn't as nice as the Bionic but the screen is just AMAZING.
@kyuubiyura It's ultimately up to you. Don't let me or anyone else tell you what you should get. Go to the wireless store and try them both out and compare them.
I'm personally an iPhone guy, but my friends have Android phones and they love them, I've had people switch from Android to iPhone and they're happy and there are people who switched to Android and are never coming back to iPhone as well.
So compare both for yourself, let me know what you decide to get!
@MagicDrumSticks Droid gets updates too what r u talking about. I have the Bionic and it owns Iphone. Better camera? They both shoot 1080p. U cant even take the battery out a Iphone its built in. Miri is not new Androids have I dont know what its called but its like Miri instead of talking to u it says "Speak Now". Droids have bigger screens. Iphones r not the best phones out there they have mediocre software just like there laptops.
@fightnight909 Who cares if they both shoot at 1080p? An 8 MP phone is not equal to an 8 MP dSLR, the optics and senor are different.
Same thing in this case, the iPhone has a back-side illuminated CMOS sensor with an f stop of f/2.2 which is AMAZING for a phone. It allows more light in to handle low light shots much better, the shutter speed is also very quick and allows you to take 2 pics in 1 second.
Also, Androids have the habit of not being supported after a year or so
@fightnight909 And yes you CAN take the battery out of an iPhone 4 very easily. You just take off the two little screws at the bottom and then lift the cover, and the battery is right there.... but i dont see why you would need to anyway, like who carries extra batteries with them anyway? why not just get a car charger? Or a battery case?
The iPhones get software updates LONG after they are outdated. The iPhone 3GS, a nearly 3 year old device, just got the latest iOS software.
@MagicDrumSticks Screws? Why would I take off screws to take the battery out that's stupid. Why not make it so it just pops out like other phones. Extra battery? My Droid can go a day before charging it. Iphones r not even 4G.
Couple days ago I got a I phone 4s I upgraded from droid x. I'm going through android withdrawals , I have a chance to trade for a droid bionic what do you think?
I kinda like this ladies voice. lol Yes I know, off the subject. But I do wonder if this phone has anything that rivals iphone's "Siri" It probably won't matter to me anyways because I'm just a droid guy, but it would be nice to know.
Should I get this phone or should I get the iPhone 4S? Given the choice, anyway. The only reason I am asking is because I am a big iPhone fan. =[ Which sucks, because I am not a fan of Apple. ._. So I was wondering which of the two you would prefer, considering the 4S really is much better than 4. Twice as good, even. The problem being that it's 3G while this one is 4G LTE. Ah, such a hard choice.. Hope you reply. =]
@Uuzumaki510 At the moment, I'm using both the iPhone 4S and the Bionic. The data speed we get on the Bionic here is unmatched, but iOS 5 and the faster iPhone 4S are really pleasant to use.
@MobileTechReview Aww, that just makes it even harder for me to choose. xD Well, good thing I don't care too much about data speed.. I guess I'm just gonna go for the iPhone 4S after all. Thank you for the info you are always providing. I can always trust in your reviews for good, unbiased information. =]
@MobileTechReview Hi i have a question. i have the driod charge and i kinda hate this phone, only reason i got this phone is because the only other 4g phone was the thunderbolt at the time and the screen was nice. so my question is, is the bionic worth trading my charge in for? i mean the performance on the charge is almost the same as my motorola driod which is now strictly a mp3 player/ for games lol. Thanks please let me know im so confused
@dentonbrowne I own a Bionic, and it is faster and quite stable except for the usual 3G to LTE handoffs. That seems to be a problem with every Verizon LTE phone that comes out, where it sometimes has trouble switching between the two and drops the data connection (toggling flight mode brings it back). If I were you, I'd wait a few more weeks and see how the Droid RAZR and Galaxy Nexus shape up. Since they're coming so soon, it's worth waiting to see which one is most enticing.
Android phones are more quantity verse quality. Iphone ios is on one phone. Android has over 200 phones that have so Damn issues its a joke. U gotta freaken gotta buy a new Android to get a update.
@NORCALiSLiM WOW YOU HAVE NO IDEA WHAT YOUR TALKING ABOUT because at least there is always new Android hardware coming out unlike Apple who makes you wait almost two years before they come out with new hardware [EPIC FAIL] My Android device works just fine thank you very much and I have had it since March and I have already had at least 7 software updates so your information is way off so the next time you try to pass judgment go out and use an Android device and for more then a few minutes.
I just bought one last Friday. I have had some growing pains but this is an awesome phone! 4GLTE speeds are awesome but it drains ur battery, just FYI. Still playing with it.
Motorola commercials are expensive looking and nice and dumb. they should focus on the features of the phone that makes this phone standout from the other android phones.
Hey guys you can actually get this droid at this website:
h t t p: / / jlpfernandezacndirectcom/default.asp choose which state you from, then look for wireless down the list then click it... then after that click shop now on top. Its cheaper than the on in the stores. I think it cost $220! just put a dot between ez and acn then a dot on direct and com. that should take you to the web.
im going to be getting verizon today but cant decide on what phone to get i just want one with a good gps,loud speaker when on the phone, easy to text on,push email, not to plasticky feel,good battery life, and good visability on direct sun light i dont mind if it dont have as many apps as the iphone i only used pandora
@crazybeast6 I also can't understand for the life of me why you are complaining over the fact that you have to spend less then $25 bucks on a battery when indeed you could just as a easily spent this kind of money on a car charger,case ect if you are really that worried about spending that much more money on a battery [LOL] then why are you even spending over $200 on a phone in the first place? really think before you speak because you make NO SENSE AT ALL . Do you homework before you post.
@crazybeast6 you can't read LOL because I already told you that the reason for the bad battery life is because the LTE speeds and I also told you that for less then $25 bucks there is an extended life battery for the Bionic that last longer then the battery on the iphone IDIOT and yet your trying to make a point that you don't want to spend extra money on a battery. I also laugh when you say that Android is not open source LOL ha ha. Read the comments because I once again proved you wrong IDIOT.
I need to replace my Blackberry snoozer with an Android. On Verizon, this is clearly the best choice, but will I be disappointed in a month when something better comes out? Anyone? Any chance of a Nexus Prime anytime soon? I would wait for that.
I bet it does everything but get good reception on calls. So much power going on in that phone and putting it right next to your vitals, imagine what these smartphones could do years down the road as far as health. Thats why I say no thanks to all smartphones. A good small phone with good reception will do.
@dragonflysilver2 Is that so? then give me facts to support this claim? [NOT YOUR OPINION] I also seem to remember that the idea from the iphone came from a phone called the Lg Prada look it up thats right the iphone was not Apples own idea to begin with . Motorola made the VERY FIRST WIRELESS PHONE not Apple so does this mean that EVERY new phone that comes out is a copy of Motorola? do you see how stupid your comment sounds?. LOL
I've decided to up to a new phone, Iphone isn't as awesome as I would like it although the apps are kick-ass, I'm currently using a Android Ally and loved it until I realized as far as androids go it was probably the lowest android available, Which android phone should I get? I'm liking this one but user review would be appreciated.
@crazybeast and Yes, Droid X2 battery life is absolute horse doo doo lol its terrible! ESPECIALLY under heavy use! I get like 3.5 hours and i'll be at about 10%. Definitely dead before 5 hours....But I like the phone so oh well lol. I guess i'll have to continue enduring it and hangout close my wall and car chargers. ;)
And well releasing a 4g LTE feature phone worth buying would defeat there purpose. (Get ppl to buy smartphones so they can make more money off there new retarted tiered data plans and ridiculously priced smartphones.)
@themasterceo sadly I don't think u will every see that day. It seems as though they're trying the best to get more ppl not to buy a "feature" phone over a smartphone. I mean honestly, when's the last time you've seen Verizon have a tv commercial advertising a feature phone!? Last one I can remember is the chocolate touch commercial like a year ago lol. And then wat about a smartphone one......this morning. ;)
Could anyone tell me if the cases will give a more "flat" feel to it in the back, or will it just contour to the bump?
For me I wouldn't mind the phone being the same thickness all around just so it doesn't have a supposed "hump."

@MobileTechReview Hi i have a question. i have the driod charge and i kinda hate this phone, only reason i got this phone is because the only other 4g phone was the thunderbolt at the time and the screen was nice. so my question is, is the bionic worth trading my charge in for? i mean the performance on the charge is almost the same as my motorola driod which is now strictly a mp3 player/ for games lol. Thanks please let me know im so confused

@dentonbrowne I own a Bionic, and it is faster and quite stable except for the usual 3G to LTE handoffs. That seems to be a problem with every Verizon LTE phone that comes out, where it sometimes has trouble switching between the two and drops the data connection (toggling flight mode brings it back). If I were you, I'd wait a few more weeks and see how the Droid RAZR and Galaxy Nexus shape up. Since they're coming so soon, it's worth waiting to see which one is most enticing.

@NORCALiSLiM WOW YOU HAVE NO IDEA WHAT YOUR TALKING ABOUT because at least there is always new Android hardware coming out unlike Apple who makes you wait almost two years before they come out with new hardware [EPIC FAIL] My Android device works just fine thank you very much and I have had it since March and I have already had at least 7 software updates so your information is way off so the next time you try to pass judgment go out and use an Android device and for more then a few minutes.

Hey guys you can actually get this droid at this website:
h t t p: / / jlpfernandezacndirectcom/default.asp choose which state you from, then look for wireless down the list then click it... then after that click shop now on top. Its cheaper than the on in the stores. I think it cost $220! just put a dot between ez and acn then a dot on direct and com. that should take you to the web.

@crazybeast6 I also can't understand for the life of me why you are complaining over the fact that you have to spend less then $25 bucks on a battery when indeed you could just as a easily spent this kind of money on a car charger,case ect if you are really that worried about spending that much more money on a battery [LOL] then why are you even spending over $200 on a phone in the first place? really think before you speak because you make NO SENSE AT ALL . Do you homework before you post.
pyro74boy 5 months ago
@crazybeast6 you can't read LOL because I already told you that the reason for the bad battery life is because the LTE speeds and I also told you that for less then $25 bucks there is an extended life battery for the Bionic that last longer then the battery on the iphone IDIOT and yet your trying to make a point that you don't want to spend extra money on a battery. I also laugh when you say that Android is not open source LOL ha ha. Read the comments because I once again proved you wrong IDIOT.

I bet it does everything but get good reception on calls. So much power going on in that phone and putting it right next to your vitals, imagine what these smartphones could do years down the road as far as health. Thats why I say no thanks to all smartphones. A good small phone with good reception will do.

@dragonflysilver2 Is that so? then give me facts to support this claim? [NOT YOUR OPINION] I also seem to remember that the idea from the iphone came from a phone called the Lg Prada look it up thats right the iphone was not Apples own idea to begin with . Motorola made the VERY FIRST WIRELESS PHONE not Apple so does this mean that EVERY new phone that comes out is a copy of Motorola? do you see how stupid your comment sounds?. LOL

@themasterceo sadly I don't think u will every see that day. It seems as though they're trying the best to get more ppl not to buy a "feature" phone over a smartphone.

And then wat about a smartphone one......this morning. ;)
