It also looks like most discussions that mention the "Bionic" are gone from the community...... makes me think that this is a true story that the Bionic has been killed.

I can't find the latest *real* news ... is the rumor that the release of the Bionic has been canceled and/or pushed back true?

Also, I can't find a definitive answer to this question: what new "4G" phones are forthcoming? and what are their expected release dates?

I'm a ten year customer of Verizon and I've waited, with great anticipation, for a long time to do a serious phone upgrade. I thought the Bionic was going to be my dream phone. My dream, I guess, was dashed. What do I start dreaming about now (besides a 4G network that actually works by the time Verizon releases a 4G phone I can fall in love with)?

I am curious. What device do you use now? How large are the files you upload and download? How often? Do you plan to use VoIP apps? etc. Use the http://www.verizonwireless.com/splash_includes/datacalculator.html

If your monthly usage is less than 5 GB per month, note that this amount of data can be downloaded in under 40 minutes in 4G.

A one hour, DVD grade movie uses about 1GB of data. 4G can download the one hour movie in 10 minutes. Thats ten times faster than streaming rate.

Not cancelled. i got one a day after it was introduced. I used my NE2 credit, paid $10 for early replacement and bought my phone.

Please anyone give me more information on the droid bionic because I have had nothing but problems with it since I bought it two months ago and took it back to verizon and was told to bad buy another phone. Really ? Spent alomost 500 hunderd dollars on a phone that doesnt work and verizon emploees tell me to bad buy another phone. Verizon is starting to act like AT&T ,whats up verizon ? Why are you nolonger the company I always bragged about being the best out there. This is completely uneceptable let alone truly dishonest !!!!

Hello wesmx13,

I am a proud owner of a Droid Bionic and I am well versed in it's features and capabilities. May I ask what issues do you have with your device? Please share as I am eager to research and resolve for you. As your wireless service provider, we have a responsibility to provide world class customer service in addition to the best devices on the best wireless network. Five hundred dollars is a lot of money to spend on a device and I want to ensure that you get the maximum value out of your investment. I look forward to your reply so I can help.

Thank you...

My device will continually shut off for no reason often while I'm in the middle of a call or answering an email. When it powers back up whatever calls, texts, or emails I got that day it will lose. Then the next day they show up. It also takes forever to load anything, its like dial up. My old first original DROID is faster.

I was really excited about the bionic been waiting for it since it was scraped over a year ago. Now I am just really disappointed, especially the way I was treated. Trying to get help on a phone that's wasn't even two months old at the time and they tell me scrap it buy another phone. That just REALLY upsets me and being on the road alot and always had service I was pretty much a salesman for Verizon getting my fenders to switch from AT&T to Verizon now the way I've been treated almost sorry I did. I still think Verizon is the best network but they could do better on who they have representing them! If you know some how to fix my phone that would be great because right now it is pretty much useless to me.

Dear ArnettH_VZW,

Perhaps you can explain to me why my Bionic continutally loses network connection? I can watch as 4G changes to 3G and then drops off entirely. In Settings =>About phone =>Status, mobile network state will show "Disconnected". Then it will come back up. I showed someone in the VZW store (corporate location), and they had no explantion. I've called tech support, and they suggested that I reset the phone to factory defaults. It's a brand new phone! I shouldn't have to do that.

I've taken the phone in to the store several times and I get treated like I'm stupid. Maybe I am, because I kept believing Verizon when they said this problem would settle down and go away. Now I'm past my 2 week return period.

This network problem, and Verizon's inability (or unwillingness) to address it, has left me with a less than glowing opinion of Verizon.

Yeah I feel I've been sold a bill of goods. I am a returning Verizon customer. This is not the Verizon I remember. I will keep my phone forr two years and fulfill this contract, and then I will leave. This is not my first smartphone... i own the original Motorola Droid. Shame. Verizon doesn't care about losing customers.

My story sounds almost identical to wesmx13. I purchased my phone two months ago and since then have been to the Verizon store more times than I want to think about. Since this was my first smartphone, I was not familiar with potential problems so I allowed the Verizon staff to continually talk me into trying one thing after another until, of course, the 2 week return period had passed (I was unaware of this short timeframe). I finally got fed up after many trips with personnel removing the battery and reinstalling it, replacing the battery and then the sim card. I asked for a new phone and was told that they could send my new phone off to have it replaced with a refurbished phone. I refused without getting a discount for accepting a refurbished phone, Having been a very long time loyal Verizon customer, I was shocked to experience personnel and management staff who attempted to talk down to me and treat me as if I just could not understand what they were talking about (what a joke!) I was told that one of my options was to purchase another phone at full price. I requested the amount of $ to get out my contract, which was $559 for 3 phones. The manager who gave me this information and just matter of factly said they would hate to lose my business and that I should reconsider getting having them send my new phone off for a trade-in on a refurbished one.

After having done some online research, I now know that what I am experiencing is a known problem and that Verizon is certainly not accepting responsibility and is making no attempt to satisfy previously loyal customers. We really all need to spread the word and to demand that we be treated fairly.

Add another unhappy Bionic users here. Boughtb mine in October. I am on my third one. The data issue is horrid. Verizon will not come out and address the issue. I have 5 lines and data plans. I have been a long time, vocal spokesperson for Verizon.I steered people to Verizon and Android.Now I am very unhappy after spending bucks.

Hi Guys,

My first time posting. I purchased the Bionic the first day it was released and received a faulty unit. After a few days the 4G stopped working all together. They replaced the device and the replacement unit worked GREAT! This is my 3rd smartphone and I love this phone. Truly!

I travel a lot and I have noticed that some places in the US have sketchy 4G and 4G goes down sometimes in LA but over all it's about 95% there.

I'm sorry that you are having troubles. Perhaps replacing the device?

I do have 1 complaint though. I wish that the Razor had come out at the same time. It appears to be slightly better.

Cheers, N
