[Motorola Droid Bionic] open1your1eyes0:
Here are my initial impressions on Motorola's Droid Bionic in comparison to every other HTC phone I've had (EVO, G2, myTouch 4G, ThunderBolt).

The Good

Best speced phone on Verizon

Fastest phone I've ever had (thank you Dual Core + 1GB RAM)

Absolutely lag free browsing

Motorola's 4G chip is quite a bit faster than even the ThunderBolt

Very thin

Very light

Gingerbread 2.3.4 (with Google Talk video) straight out-of-box

Call quality is stellar (actually sounds like talking to person in real life)

Camera and video quality is quiet amazing

Stereo speakers are loud and very good sound quality

Vibration (Haptic Feedback) feel is really effective and different

Notifications light is very useful (I was originally a BlackBerry user)

Talk and Web simultaneously on Verizon (just like the ThunderBolt)

Motorola's Application Platform UI looks really sweet

Easiest root method I have used

Lots of great ringtones and notifications (especially the DROID ones)

I can actually tell it's a Verizon device now (for some reason I couldnt feel it with the ThunderBolt)

Extended battery is very thin

Tons of accessories on sale right on launch date

Free overnight shipping if buying online

The Bad

The display quality is terrible (even though it's higher resolution than every other phone I had)

I can see the jagged edges clearly and black between the pixels

Also unsure if it's the UI or the display but colors look very dull/distorted

True yellow looks like mustard yellow

True orange looks almost brown

Motorola's Application Platform UI (previously known as Motoblur) is no HTC Sense

It is a very unique look and feel but I already miss the smoothness of HTC Sense

There are so many things locked down from modding to the point where apps that are supposed to work have compatibility issues

Now Facebook can only sync ALL my contacts and not just the ones existing already on my phone (like it did with HTC)

Corporate E-mail doesn't have option to sync more than 30 days

E-mail accounts cannot have separate notification sound/vibration settings

No unread e-mail number displayed on the E-mail account shortcut icons

Market Apps on my account did not sync down to the phone upon first login like most HTC devices normally do

Storage defaulted to internal storage and no option to change to SD card as default

The reception is a bit worse than on my ThunderBolt

When traveling I get switched over to 3G a lot more frequently

Camera auto-focuses too often

Tethering takes too long to give an IP address to devices (sometimes 2-3mins)

Volume randomly overdrives speakers and crackles when sound is playing (very rarely though)

Phone gets very hot, very fast, especially when in use

Battery life for out-of-box condition is not much better than on the ThunderBolt

Official OEM Matte screen protectors are not full surface of the glass (just the display) (Fix)

Additional OEM holster/shell combo feels very cheap and uncomfortable texture (also pricey)

No kickstand (Fix)

No FM radio (Fix)

No flashlight app (Fix)

Activation process can be a bit tedious

Additional Comments

I'm willing to let the display quality slide

Motorola has invested into this Pentile technology quite hard

Battery saving reasons - Link 1 + Link 2 + Link 3

They arent changing it anytime soon

Its not really a specific to the phone issue since it has been used before in other Droid devices

It definitely looks better than other Droids I compared at the store

I am willing to accept the flaws of Motorola's Application Platform since they are still somewhat acceptable

Although reception is generally worse, the stability of the signal is much better and faster in lower signal areas

Will not judge battery entirely yet because it has not been cycled to full condition yet

A few apps are not fully supporting the phone entirely yet (although I will wait for app updates)

The Facebook sync existing contacts only issue

No option to sync IM contacts (like for AIM)

Can't get Skype video to show my camera (just black) - (Fix)

SpeedTest app doesn't support qHD resolution and shrinks the app (Fix - Latest Update)

Other very minor apps don't support qHD or missing features

Overall Opinion

Still testing prior to completing this section
