It is listed on slickdeals as 199 for new contract and 249 for upgrade....through Amazon.

Reviews are good except for the cheap screen.....pentile instead of amoled

Its pretty ridiculous, I must say. Went to Costco and got the car dock, desk dock, extra battery/charging dock, and Costco gives everyone that buys any cell phone from them a car charger and a leather case and 2 screen protectors. Pretty good deal.

I was 3rd in line at Costco before they opened because they were only getting 6 in today. We had to wait for them to actually arrive this morning, and when they did show up, apparently there was only 5 available. The guy who works at the kiosk said the phones are shipped in packs of 3, so someone in shipping must have used his 5 finger discount on one of them. There was an older lady who was number 6 on the list, and she started screaming about sexism and ageism because the people ahead of her were all guys in their 20s. Pretty funny.

Going to Verizon tonight after work for mine. Luckily a friend's girl is the store manager and was able to set one aside as well as some accessories.

With the Bionic, I just load up the "Social Networking" widget and use that one.

If you also add the "Social Status" widget, you can tweet right from there.

For those wondering about battery life. I had 30% when I booted it up at 6:15ish. I was texting/reading twitter/made 2 phonecalls (35 minutes) throughout the night and on my way home about 20 minutes ago it finally came up with the 10% warning. Not bad for steady usage for 6 hours.

Im at 9:15 with 20% battery left. I've probably used it a little more than I would on a normal day.

I have decided to hold out for the Vigor. Specs seem nice and the release date is supposedly October 6th. I am assuming it will be 4g, it has a 1.5 duel processor and the main thing.....beats by dre.:thumbup:

I like HTC better than Moto, but battery life is the one thing that seems to be terrible with all their phones, so hopefully that is fixed on this phone.

Mine has been off the charger for 13 hours and is at 30%. I would say about average app use, slightly below average actual telephone use.

To everyone else with the Bionic. Do you have a LED notification light that works? I see it looks to be to the right of the word Motorola at the top of the phone, but mine never flashes. It's a small annoyance but really my only drawback at this point.

Damn... I just tried to google it and someone posted on a forum that their's was not working so they disassembled the phone. I guess there is a sticker that is covering the light up.
