My First week with the Droid Bionic...not trolling.

People are way too immature on this site...no wonder I don't post here anymore.

I agree mostly. My mom is on verizon (I have iPhone 4 on AT&T). The LTE on verizon is VERY fast like 20 Mbps but honestly she only uses it for calls, email, texting, and occasional web browsing although she was lucky enough to get grandfathered unlimited. I don't understand why you would need that blazing speed right now. 3-5 Mbps on my iPhone 4 is fine for what I do. And the wifi at home and work of 20 Mbps make up for downloading large files.

The phone itself is large, a little too large for me. Something between the iPhone and that would be perfect. The design is ugly and doesn't feel well it my hand. The phone UI is quick and pleasant although after less than a month a better phone has been released on Verizon that will probably get more support and a faster android update (RAZR) The battery life is horrible if you use LTE a lot.

Overall I still choose iPhone over this phone because of support from apple, battery life, UI smoothness, and overall design.

Isn't 4G LTE supposed to have up to 100mbps real speeds?

good review, thanks

My, my hypocrisy.

To the OP: Thanks! It's always good to have two different view points.

First off, it's huge.

thats what she said

The Droid Bionic is quite nice, as is the iPhone 4S.

Both have their Pro's & Cons.

What's to get so worked up over?

I've never heard that, but I have gotten as high as 20+ but now average 10-15 on my Droid Charge.

I do believe that Verizon throttles you if you go over a certain limit (over 10Gb is my guess).

Yea LTE is suppose to hit 100Mbps in theory, but in real world nothing even comes close.

What if the next iPhone doesn't support LTE because apple doesn't like the chips and power drain but decide to stick with HSPA+ for another generation? ATT HSPA+ support up to 14Mbps, but i get 8-9Mbps. What if ATT ups it to 42Mbps too?

Tmobile has 42Mbps HSPA+ and technically that is still 3G, but they market it as 4G, then again most of the LTE out right not get 20-40Mbps.

So much marketing ploy going on.

I knew that the fastest 4G on T-Mobile is 42 mbps, and a correction, AT&T will soon have 42 mpbs too. I hope the next iPhone has a HSPS+/LTE chip inside!
