Can't wait until Gibby stumbles across this thread and sees you slamming Lopez.

Review = GOAT
Pricing = $299 upgrade/new contract. I posted a link a few days ago that Costco will sell it for $299 and include and extra battery, car dock, regular dock, and maybe one other accessory, don't recall exactly.

But what about GOAT Samsung phone with dual 1.5 processor and android 4.0 that will come out in october? Will it crush the bionic or not. That is what I will need to know.

Well then you are going to have to wait until October anyway so you shouldn't be upset with the Bionic commercial. You will have a month to get hands on time in a VZW store before it is released. :D

Also, are you talking about the Galaxy S2? Verizon isn't going to have that. Not sure if you are possibly looking to switch carriers or not.

Ahhh thats makes sense.

I wish I was able to upgrade but I still got a few months(december or january I think). Might get the bionic then since the price will hopefully be pretty low and bugs should be fixed or get the newest model out at that time.

No, verizon is foregoing the S2 in favor of samsung prime. Prime>S2.

The price point on the Bionic is too much. I was planning on getting it, but I was iffy on motorola to begin with...and the 300 hundred bucks put me over the edge.

That's probably going to be what all of the dual core LTE phones are going to cost for a while.

haha yeah I agree its a little much. I'll get $50 off for NE2 and I have had the same phone for 2 years. I'll have the Bionic for 2 years. Up until this past year I've spent around $150 a year on upgrades because I'm the primary line on a family account, so $250 over 3 years isn't horrible.

Going to be getting one of the new Mango phones when they come out. HTC Titan looks neat.

The Droid Charge is a nice single-core option.

My Evo has been pissing me of lately. Not so bad now, but a while ago it was really unbearable.

I'm leaving ATT soon. Like in the next 10 days. Want a good phone but i have one and don't wanna pay for another just yet. I do need a phone that will not drop calls though so I'm gonna have to eat it. What's a good deal.

The only LTE phone at Verizon at that price point is the LG Revolution.

You aren't going to find a decent 4G phone under $250 at Verizon for quite a while. The top of the line 4G devices are going to hit at $299. The decent 4Gs will be $250. And the shitty 4G phones that you should avoid will be at $199.

I'm assuming you are talking about LTE phones, right sherm? Not that fake 4g everybody else claims

Correct. LTE.

I wouldn't be surprised either if the LTE phones that start rolling out to AT&T will also be hitting at the $250-$299 range.
