Motorola Droid Bionic on Track for Summer Release with “New Updates”

Posted by | 06/22/2011 | 50 Comments

Motorola has already told consumers that the Droid Bionic is coming out this summer and according to a tweet today, it appears that that summer release is still on track. The company also confirmed that it was working on some new updates but as of right now, it’s unclear if it’s referring to the upgrades that we know about already or new, still undetermined ones.

We know that the Droid Bionic is going to have a different form factor than the device we saw at CES and it might just be the 4.5-inch monster that we saw appear in photos a short time ago. Or, if this tweet indeed refers to new updates, something that we haven’t seen yet.

In addition to these updates, Motorola also confirmed that the Droid Bionic is still “slated” for a summer release. Of course, like every smartphone release, that window is subject to change but it’s looking like it will be out this summer.

As far as when, August seems like a pretty good bet considering Moto and Verizon are going to be pushing out the new Motorola Droid 3 some time in the very near future and they wouldn’t want the releases to clash.

    I spoke to a Verizon Rep at corporate headquarters today and I was assured the phone would not be out in July but it will be out August barring any problems.

    When is the last day of summer?  Technically the droid can be release the very last day of summer.  Or find another excuse to push if later in the year.  For example, December 31, 2011.  Can you just see the commercial?  “Start the New Year with a bang, get your Bionic Driod for the new year”  Why would they be motivated to release it sooner, as long as people have this addiction to feed into this hype.

    Everyone was in a hurry for the release of the Droid Bionic because Verizon has dropped their unlimited data plan.  Honestly, I don’t mind waiting for the phone if it means they are cleaning it up and correcting any issues with it BEFORE it is released.  So many people were angry with the iPhone4 issues after it was released.  If Verizon was smart, they would keep their UNLIMITED data plan to attract new customers and increase sales of the Droid.  A good marketing tool.  Also, I heard the Droid Bionic is going to sell for $149, then I heard $300.  If they keep their price down, another marketing bonus for Verizon, especially with the iPhone 5 coming out this fall.
