I'm pretty much in the same boat. I've talked myself out of the SGSII and into the Bionic. The only real concern I have is the in-house-developed LTE chip. But, if Google is buying out Motorola Mobility, then, I'm going to gamble and say that it is a wondrous chip, indeed.

Does anybody else have a similar concern about Moto's LTE chip? If anything, I'd expect it to be as good or better than others currently on the market. Even if it's not "better" in some objective sense, I'm sure it's an ideal fit w/the OMAP CPU in the Bionic.

The only reason I had a concern at all is that it is an 'untested' chip, since it is so new - and anything can happen. Rare is it that designers can conceive of every single real world experience that their product will experience, and thus thee is always a small chance that there is a design flaw that has made it into manufacturing, too late for anyone to do anything about.

However, Motorola has a long history of making very solid chips, so that is yet another plus in their favor....

For sure. I'm hoping they built this chip with what wasn't working well on the existing LTE chip in mind (like battery life), addressing those issues, but not without considering factors that have not yet arisen. Anyway, I'll be a guinea pig. lol
