Yesterday we learned that the Motorola Droid Bionic we saw at CES is dead. Instead, when it launches at some point this summer, it will feature a new form factor, one that many believe will be the one we saw leak with the Targa.

He also touched on another reason for the Bionic delay stating that it was directly related to 4G LTE and that his company and Verizon wanted to get to a more comfortable place before launching the phone.

As for the launch, Jha stated that the Droid Bionic would be launching alongside 4G LTE on the Motorola Xoom. 4G LTE for the Xoom had been expected to come three months launch (February 24th), so May, but it now has been delayed along with the Bionic.

He also stated that the company had shipped 250,000 Xoom’s.

The Motorola Droid Bionic was originally thought to be coming out in May but for the reasons Jha stated (4G LTE issues, different design), its launch has been pushed back.

    I wonder when Verizon with get the Atrix type phone? That’s what I want. Verizon should not have to have a lower spec phone.

    Also just read a review of the Galaxy II, and dang that looks like a sweet phone.

    Sigh… I stick with Verizon because it picks up data/voice way out in the middle of AZ on a back quad trail. The guys can’t even get voice…but that’s won’t carry them forever.
