Cool phone...that man has sausage links for fingers. Almost sounds out of breath by the end of the video.

I would wait until you see what Samsung and Google has cooking up next week.

I when from a Razor to a Droid Incredible. Still learning and finding things I can do with it. Whatever you have now will only get better with each new generation of cell phones and pads

I like mine. What kind of questions do you have? My only real concern when I got it was battery life, but its been much better than I thought. I got an extra battery as part of a accessory bundle so it probably won't be an issue. Its not heavy like I thought it would be, and it seems like its a good size. (TWSS) I would guess your wife has smaller hands than I do so it might be too big for her. (TWIS) It took me a while to get used to how it was set up as I was coming from Blackberry, but now that I have gotten used to it, I don't have any problems. Best thing I'd say is for her to go into a verizon and get some hands on time with it. Any other questions you have, ask. I know there are a couple other owners on here as well.

Didn't really have anything specific in mind. Was just wondering if other users thought it was a good phone and what kind of flaws it had, if any. How is performance? Just the basic stuff.karen lotz;922579 wrote:I like mine. What kind of questions do you have? My only real concern when I got it was battery life, but its been much better than I thought.

The Nexus S is curved like that and I don't think it is a problem. I believe the idea behind it is less scratches on the glass and more comfort when using the phone.balk14;922758 wrote:not sure about the curved design...i feel like thats just asking to get cracked when u put it in your pocket...

After the disappointing Apple news I was just going to get the Bionic but as you said, might as well wait to see whats up next.Jawbreaker;922464 wrote:I would wait until you see what Samsung and Google has cooking up next week.

Ah got ya. Like I said, I haven't had any issues with it and battery life has been better than I thought it would be. Obviously there will be newer and better phones coming out just like there always is, but it is a good phone. I'd also guess it might drop in price with some other android phones coming out.GoChiefs;922778 wrote:Didn't really have anything specific in mind.

If you had to get a phone right now on VZW and you wanted it to have Android, the Bionic is the way to go. However, it doesn't hurt to wait a week to see what Google has in store.JerseyBuck;922803 wrote:After the disappointing Apple news I was just going to get the Bionic but as you said, might as well wait to see whats up next.

Hot speculation is the Nexus Prime (or whatever it will be called) may dock with a tablet shell. Now THAT would be revolutionary (even if expected, eventually).

Didn't Asus already show this off with the Padfone? I have not seen anything about a nexus device docking with a tablet shell.gut;923319 wrote:Hot speculation is the Nexus Prime (or whatever it will be called) may dock with a tablet shell.

The Bionic and Atrix dock into a netbook shell. So would the Prime docking into a tablet shell be THAT​ revolutionary?gut;923319 wrote:Hot speculation is the Nexus Prime (or whatever it will be called) may dock with a tablet shell. Now THAT would be revolutionary (even if expected, eventually).

I like mine. The only thing I don't like is that it sometimes reboots itself at inconvenient times. Other than that, great phone.
