I guess that I was never really a fan of the Bionic in the first place. It took forever to active which made for long awkward sales that lasted an extra 45 mins just waiting for the phone. Although it is less ugly than the Droid X, it still left something to be desired in the looks department. The Razr is a much better phone.

my best bet is they're doing these price drops to compete with places llike costco. I got my bionic for $150 with all the accessories (extra battery, car charger, carrying pouch, screen protector, external battery charger car dock, and home dock ) but who wouldn't spend the extra 50 and get all the accessories! ?

and honestly weather if it's the razor, nexus, Rezound or bionic I personally feel like this is by far the best buy for any average consumer . especially getting it through costco.

This is to get rid of old stock, VZW tends to hold on to phones for possibly a year. This more than likely means that something is going to replace the Bionic. Crappy name but it is a pretty great all round phone. Does what a Droid is supposed to do, keep the product line looking good. Motorola is going to bring down the amount of phones they release each year. So my guess with the Droid 4 being the only new phone released this year from Moto, you would think that they are holding true to reducing the amount of phones.

Complainers be damned, really. What the hell do you expect? Electronics game is always this way, something released now will cost a hefty markup, but come back when the it's 6 months old and you can get it for a steal. I don't know why anyone still complains about paying through the nose for the top of the line launch phones then want to complain 6 months later when others can get it for half the price you paid. No one told you to be impatient and no one forced you to buy anything.

I'd quickly buy a Motorola phone over any of the other big name guys on VZW. Samsung phones on VZW have been blah, the Droid Charge was a POS, yea you probably can't even remember that phone at all, came out last year early along side that LG Optimus.thing. HTC, well the Incredible 2 was awesome but HTC skins are the bane of their existence and no other manufacturer has more Droid phones than Motorola...wonder why? Their phones are built pretty well and they wow the suits at VZW board meetings and seem to wow the crap out of the Droid customers as well.

I think that VZW will currently only keep on hand for warranty replacements dual core phones and 4G enabled devices. So the Bionic will be relegated to replacement status soon, just like the X2 is about to be very soon. Gotta love technology going forward, I get to enjoy some amazing devices for cheap. My contract is almost up and 2 years ago I got a refurbished X for $49 from VZW...so yes I take advantage of everything they give me a chance to. Loyalty to a company can pay off at times, my unlimited text and web/450 mins for $69 speaks volumes. Next upgrade is my new every two, yea I still have that provisioned for my line, I can smile all day everyday.

Yup, I remember the Bionic. I remember the delays, the ads, the everything. But then again, I remember indigestion but that got better.

Dollar-for-dollar, the BIONIC is a great buy. I found it for less than $20, but also saw the RAZR for under $50...so now I'm torn.
