Display shows room made for Motorola DROID Bionic; handset is "Coming Soon"

I've been using the Original Droid for the past 2-3 years and it's a great phone. IPS panel, PowerVR, and CortexA8. Using CM7, SetCPU and while it's not as fast as the newest phones, it holds its own for its age. It's well built and definitely one of the best from Motorola (most of the newer ones are locked down hard). I'm due for an upgrade but I'm waiting for the Galaxy S2 as it has excellent hardware and is very open to mods (supercurio is awesome), so hopefully it will support Verizon's 4G because that would make it the phone to beat.

And you're a terrible grammar typer. It's "Your writers are terrible", not "You're writers are terrible"

..a terrible grammar typer? your point is valid but you shouldn't talk after saying that.

Cost and timing. I had until August 1st to get a new phone. T-mobile was affordable and they have coverage. And there are no high end Motorola phones on T-Mobile. :(

both fine phones but now that the G2x is getting Gingerbread nothing will be able to keep up with it in terms of speed except for the GSII. ;]

The phone I got is the Sensation. I didn't get the G2X because the reps say the phone has issues, and I like HTC better anyway.

But...

I just learned that there's no coverage in a critical area. So now it's probably bye bye to T-Mobile and hello to AT&T or staying with Verizon and getting the Bionic on upgrade.

If I go with AT&T I'll be getting the ATRIX.

the issues should be resolved with the Gingerbread update that just went live yesterday i think.

the Atrix won't be so different than the Droid Bionic i suppose especially after it gets Gingerbread.

Gonna be a slight price jump from the Atrix to the Bionic, the cheapskate in me yells....

Too bad about the coverage on T-Mobile. Find it hard to believe that St. Louis doesn't have great coverage on all the networks. I just borrowed a Sprint phone from someone I know, to try out the reception in my area. With my discount, Sprint would have saved us tons of cash. But, wow. Just horrid indoor coverage. In the plant I work in, I could make a call, here the ringing, walk in a circle and drop the signal in mid-step. Really a let down. So I do feel your pain.

The city itself has okay coverage, but my friends (who went on the same plan as me and dictate which carrier we go to) have a second house out at a resort where t-mobile is supposed to have good coverage, but in reality has none at all.

And now I have a chance to pick up the Atrix for 75 bucks. You can't beat that with a stick. :)
