Released on September 8th, the Droid Bionic has created a lot of hype for such a new device(its like, if everyone were to know the new kid in school). Under all the hardware the phone comes equipped with Android 2.3.4 powered by a 1GHz dual core processor, paired with 1GB or DDR2 RAM(phew, let me catch my breath). That is pretty amazing for a smartphone. I still know people who have computers with 1GB of RAM or less... This 4.3in display is starting to become an average size among all the newer smartphones on the market(I am also pretty sure that this is Verizon's first LTE phone to have a dual core processor).
The camera takes wonderful 1080P video and amazing photos with a 8MP camera with LED flash. There is also a front facing camera for video chats. The Droid Bionic is loaded with 16GB of internal memory and comes pre-loaded with a 16GB MicroSD card(Maximum is 32GB). Next to the micro USB charging port is HDMI out(yay for tv/monitor hookup!)
The 1735mAh battery is above average allowing almost 11 hours of talk time. However people say that the phone only lasts them about 8-10 hours on heavy use. That isn't too bad for the newer phones out on the market. You have to take in to consideration all the crazy things it can do compared to the older phones(or even the phones that were released last year).
The overall design of this device is very sleek and above average in my opinion. The scratch resistant screen is a great touch to the Droid Bionic(say good by to screen protectors, unless you're paranoid that you'll drop your phone or playing with a handful of diamonds). The volume rocker feels responsive and is nice to the touch. Not to inset or sticking to far out. The back to the phone has a nice, light rubbery feeling to it(kinda like the Motorola Droid 2). It looks good and fits well in your hands, what more could you ask for.
This phone is not a global phone, so its not simcard supportive(lame). However, this phone comes loaded with Motorola's WebTop dock which allows the user to connect the phone to the LapDock cradle. This can essentially turn your phone in to a laptop/netbook(sorta like the Motorola Atrix on AT&T).
Other than the phone being slightly large and heaver than average(5.6oz, average is 4.4oz), The Droid Bionic is the best phone offered by Verizon Wireless.
