Root Touch screen malfunctioning, should I get BIONIC?

[Jeffery]

My OG Droid's touch screen is about worthless. I can hold out until Sep. 8th for the Droid Bionic (I can borrow a phone short term).

Are there any other phone's to consider? The only thing I am concerned about is the possibility of the bootloader being locked.

I have enjoyed being able to flash ROMs, etc. on my D1 and I would be sad to have a phone I couldn't play with.

Any thoughts would be appreciated.

Sorry to hear your DROID is on its last legs.

your other post http://androidforums.com/droid-all-...-temp-phone-replace-my-droid.html#post3107688 had one response.

Bionic is pretty close to certain to drop on 8 Sept but there are considerations as well - including the rumored DROID Prime in Oct (unrealistic to me) or Nov (more realistic to me). Check out the Bionic forums for more info - a lot of us there are in the same boat as you. Motorola Droid Bionic - Android Forums

Another contender (and at this point, probably the hands down next must-have phone) is the Prime - see Nexus Prime - Android Forums

Do a lot of reading - it's the best way to make in informed decision. Be sure to read the All Things root subforums of each one as well - you might be surprised.
