Official Bionic Release Date Thread

[jfoey22]

Wow. Well, I'm going to get the Bionic anyway, cause it's such a great deal at Costco. I'd love to wait for the Prime, HD, etc, but that's just too good of a deal to pass up, and my dad wouldn't let me change afterwards anyways.

Yeah, well if your pops will not let you change it out that stinks because if he would, you could get the Bionic now, take it back when the Prime comes out. I am sure it will be out within the 90 days.

I need a phone soon, and next week is much better than waiting for October. I'll probably like it enough with the accessories package that I'll keep it! I love Motorola phones more than anyone else, sans the screens.

The navigation dock will be very useful, as the built-in navigation in my soon-to-be car is no longer updated by Saab. I just don't want to go over my data package because of map downloads.

So I just wanted to confirm, if we buy this bundle at Costco, we will not get our NE2 discount, right?

I think so, but Verizon isn't doing those anymore. So nothing past this one NE2.

The bionic is on the droiddoes.com site DROID DOES and it has a countdown timer on the 4 corners where the input codes are and if you click on droid on 4g lte on the left in the middle it will say 4 days in the box just below it. lets get those codes! haha

 

[opuntia2]

Good finds...what's the purpose of those codes?

 

[Alexlock]

[sox08]

[dukenilnil]

Yes, they did this for a couple other droid releases. the codes were for people to win the phone and they also unlocked info on phone, ie live wallpapers, screens, tons of pics.....

 

[HotDawg]

The codes apparently unlock a video in the center of the screen. I highly doubt it has anything to do with pre-ordering.

On the upside, I see an ad for Droid Bionic Arena on the left, so that's definitely real.

well there goes today's productivity at work

 

[YankeeDudeL]

Really? Cause I'm pretty sure that the 90 days only counts towards getting the same phone again if you break it or something. Everybody has to follow Verizon's 14 day rule.

Yankee?

Officially, we're supposed to tell you that after 14 days we're allowed to exchange that for the same exact model. It's what I tell customers, as it is our "rule", and it's also just good business ethics. Will we give you a diff model if you're not happy with what you have? Absolutely. But we do try to discourage that.

Hell, I did it just the other day. But truly, it's going to be up to your WSE (Wireless Sales Expert, I love saying that) and the KM (Kiosk Manager). So while most will, some will not. Just verify that when you purchase a phone, it's usually not a prob.

Great job answering everyone's questions, Yankee. Thanks.

 

[YankeeDudeL]

Thanks, I'm trying. lol I'm getting a lot in PMs too, so I'm trying to reiterate them here whenever I can for people who may have similar questions. It's about the best way I can give back to a site that's given me so much.

Man, I hope it's real. That has to be one of the biggest reasons I want the Bionic.

Of course, I have school that day, so my dad will have to go in first thing in the morning and get it for me.

Who are you kidding? This would be a reason to be, uh, sick.
