Motorola Edison meets the FCC; device could be AT&T's DROID BIONIC sans LTE

You're right. Edison was too big of a d**k to appreciate something like Android. Apple would be more his style.

I just really don't think Edison would be all that keen on any kind of smartphone, mobile phone, or anything like that... I mean, I'm sure TTY/TTD would be a nice thing for him, but I think he would have felt waaaay too connected to the rest of the world to suit his taste.

Edison would of tried to scare everyone into buying the iPhony. No wait that's what also there fans do now. Your right Sniggly Edison would been an iPhony fan. It fits his personality from what we know of him through history perfectly.

right, what is the point of 4G on anything but Sprint you'll just use your little 2 gigs that much faster.

Growing up in Fort Myers Florida where Edison had his winter home and the Community College was named after him, along with the Mall, and a bridge, Old Tommy could do no evil. I am SURE he would have the common sense to start his own mobile company, purchase WeBOS and make a Quad core device from a tin can and some string and it would just fly like an Eagle.....

Trouble is, Edison was perhaps a bigger copyright hound than Apple is. The man worked as hard as possible to destroy Tesla when Tesla was right the whole time and his bulls**t over moviemaking patents led directly to the creation of Hollywood, because back then California was far enough away that Edison couldn't bring Hollywood filmmakers to court. He lives today inside Steve Jobs- a man who has made undeniable contributions, but is also a control freak and all around d**k who seeks to destroy the competition by any means necessary.

I used to think like u until I got my bionic. Its my first lte phone and Lte is soo much brtter. I have unlimited so it works for me. The only bad think is all the bloatware and the crappy motorola keyboard. I miss htc

you think its overrated because you've never had a 4g phone....


and if you were smart enough to be on VZW instead of ATT you would probably still have unl instead of limited 3g...

tsk tsk.

I HAVE the Bionic. Haven't used the 4G network yet. 1; It's not in my area. 2; 4G IS over rated. For phone's atleast. Until phones can stream HD movies. 3G is really good enough.

I think it is... can't see the battery-door anywhere.

If you read the previous articles about the MB865, one of them states that there is no removable battery, so that explains that.

It is... entirely unnecessary and redundant...

Its true this would be a waste. The Atrix is just like the bionic, only no LTE. The screen size is kind of a preference. Plus the Atrix has an Nvidia which means more battery saving and better graphics.

26. snowgator posted on 18 Sep 2011, 00:32 1

I agree. The Atrix is a good device. The 4" screen is a nice choice for those who do not want a monster screen. This just needs to be sold as it's own identity.

No one cares... They chose the name for their own reason, maybe tesla is next in mind, maybe not?

27. ledbetterp3 posted on 18 Sep 2011, 01:48 0

ha dont worry, atrix is still a good phone, dont believe me? look at ubergizmo.com and look at the tests ran, atrix beats bionic in some of the tests, and it also beats the photon in some which is supposed to be the quivalent with a bigger screen and better camera...

and if this thing is too expensive, I might actually just get the atrix which is still a good phone to me. Hopefully it gets ICS
