The Bionic is a GREAT phone............ when you aren't pulling the battery and rebooting!! I have the great fortune
to live right on the edge of two towers, one VZW, one Alltel. I can literally go from 2 bars on VZW to two bars roaming on Alltel just walking around inside my house (and my house ain't THAT big).
Because of the signal loss issues with the Bionic, I am doing at LEAST 5-6 battery pulls/reboots per day! After numerous factory resets (which did not help at all), VZW is swapping me out for the Nexus when it releases. I am outside of the 14 days, but have been a VZW customer for 13 years and have four lines, all with smartphones on em, and all with unlimited txt/data, so I was insanely lucky enough to get someone at VZW to make an exception to get me out of this Bionic NIGHTMARE......
I have been a HUGE Moto cheerleader going all the way back to the original Q smartphone and Razr flip phones, but after the Bionic, I am DONE with Moto forever!
The first Q was buggy, but bearable
The send gen Q was awesome
The original razr (wifes phone) was great
The OG Droid was a home run
The X was, quite honestly, the BEST smartphone I have ever owned!
Even after all that history, the Bionic is a deal-breaker for me & Moto. If I lived somewhere in a big city when I never lost signal to begin with, and only had to do battery pulls for the "black screen of death", I might be able to wait it out for this alleged software update, but I am beyond disgusted that Moto would release this phone, this late, after countless delays, and STILL have it be a train wreck.
Just my 2 cents worth, your mileage may vary
