Nice move Sprint! This is a Droid Bionic minus kick stand. I wish Verizon was at Sprints current state, maybe they would push out (Amazing) phones in a timely fashion. COME ON VERIZON! I WANT THE BIONIC NOW!

Dude, the whole point of the Bionic is that it's supposed to be 4G and have a dual core processor.

At least Sprint has some sort of 4G, unlike ATT and T-Mobile

what do you mean "4g" VZW's LTE gets destroyed in my area. I constantly his 2-3mpbs higher then any VZW "4g" device with my evo.

you live in a really bad LTE area then my friend. it's okay though, they're out there. look on the interwebz though, you'll see LTE is a faster network.

we were one of the first markets for wimax and LTE. my experience here is far greater than with LTE. Plus what is the point in having that super amazing fast LTE with its capped or throttled? ill stick with my wimax and Sprint. ;)

Just stating information based on research. 1. WiMax is Sprint's method of delivering "4G" connectivity to its customers. Not a bad idea but is basically super long range wi-fi. Therefore you can expect broadband like speeds (which is awesome for a cell phone). All tests, and many tech reporting sites have proven however, that a strong RADIO signal of LTE is the FASTEST you can get. Sorry guy. However, its obvious verizon needs to get on the ball with its devices before there's no one left to enjoy all that LTE goodness.

you're thinking about the Droid X2 guy or do you think it makes sense for Moto to make practically two of the same phone for the carrier? :P

i was waiting for a great motorola smartphone to be on Sprint! and it looks very nice. now i got to decide on the htc evo 3d or the photon 4g.

I can't help but laugh at the fact that sprint has been taking other carriers behind the wood shed and had commenced to kicking some carrier butt. This will be a strong additional device added to the sprint family. Right now POINT BLANK if your not walking around wherever your with a sprint powered Android device then simply your not even in the game....

hm, well here it is. not bad Moto & Sprint, not bad. only thing that i can say that really surprised me though is that it's the first Motorola phone outside of Verizon to have that kind of high-end "Ninjablur" as everybody used to call it, customers won't be disappointed with that and i feel like the active kickstand could be a pretty nice thing if it's done right but if not then something that's going to be REALLY annoying. the only disappointment coming from me here is there's no Laptop Dock functionality it seems. it'll have it's own accessories which doesn't smell very future proof.

actually i fail you guys, i fail, support stated for the Laptop Dock is right there at the bottom. must've skimmed it. xD

Actually Verizon is up to Sprint's standard. They are actually ahead, and by far. Look at Sprint's flemsly 4G (i mean wimax coverage). Verizon was on par to release the Motorola Bionic, but stopped production with Motorola. The phone was not up to standard--so Motorola went back to the drawing board. The dual core was eating the already large 1900 mah battery, and the 4G chip couldn't stay connected to the network. Unlike releasing another phone ahead of schedule as they did with the Thunderbolt--the phone is back with the manufacturer. This Sprint phone by Motorola is an Atrix, with a diamond shape--no matter how you slice it. Call it what you want.
