Motorola Droid Bionic Not Hitting Sam’s Club Until September?
Update: The source is saying that this document actually refers to Sam’s Club and not Costco as was originally thought.
More evidence regarding the Motorola Droid Bionic’s launch date has surfaced today and unfortunately it’s not good. You may remember that we told you that there was a possibility that the Droid Bionic wouldn’t be launching in September, well, Android Central now has some physical evidence from Sam’s Club that seems to point to that as being possible. So what you see here is a document that clearly says that the Motorola Droid Bionic’s launch has been pushed to September. So, what does this mean exactly? Well, let’s read into it a little bit.
First, it could mean that the Droid Bionic isn’t launching anywhere until September. We find that to be highly unlikely, but it’s possible. It’s also that the phone might be launching late at Sam’s Club. Remember, August 4th has been the rumored launch date and a device that we think is the Droid Bionic is set to become unclassified at the FCC on August 7th.
So don’t get too distraught yet, retailers sometimes have different launch dates and it’s very possible that the Droid Bionic will launch first on Verizon and then expand out to other outlets later on in August and even in early September.
Still, this is the second time we’ve seen September pop up so don’t be shocked to see August 4th pass without a release. We’ve got our fingers crossed and are hoping that that isn’t the case. You should be doing the same.

U guys amaze me. Who ever said August 4th was the release date anyways??? Just because the filing papers at FCC will be finalized around that time doesnt mean anything. The problem is its all speculations. I remember Moto saying back at CES it would be a 2nd quarter release and here we are just 25 days out of the 2nd quarter from the original date they posted and its the same old type of stuff that I’ve been seeing for months. You all need to get a grip for once.
Easily amazed are you?

Samsung SG2 looking better and better, however, for what it’s worth, it’s Verizon and not Moto
I look at it like this either wait for Bionic or just buy something else and stop acting like babies. Every phone releases with bugs and requires updates. But would you prefer a phone with 41 bugs or 12. Just my two cents. Cause that is to be expected
Not sure why anyone would believe it to be an early August release after the Verizon sign up page for the Bionic. I signed up and haven’t received any information regarding the phone. To me this is a dead give away that the phone won’t be released any time in early August. Usually a newsletter with phone specs and features comes first, then one with a release date should follow. Wouldn’t Verizon release info regarding the phone prior to its release date? None of the info that’s been released has come directly from Verizon.
Patience. Patience. You are no worse off now than you were 6 months ago.
Not true. My Droid is literally falling apart. I don’t even slide it open anymore because when I do, more of the plastic keys fall off….yes, fall off. Not to mention that it’s slowed to a crawl for even the simplest of tasks.
Given what a POS the OG Droid has been for me, I’m STILL willing to give Moto another chance. I’ve been patient.

I have been following the bionic and its journy since January and I think I’m done with it, call it what you will but im starting to lean to the Iphone 5 enen if it is released next year.
So you are going to WAIT LONGER? What phone do you have now? Why not get a Charge or a T-Bolt?

I have a crappy old Imagio, but I flashed ERGZ simple rom and get great battery life even though I over clocked it, I really like the specs of the bionic but if it’s price is going to be
$300 with a two year contract I’ll wait even longer to see results of the bionic and see what happens with iPhone 5. I can early upgrade now with extra $20 charge or wait till November to use my $50 off. If iPhone 5 if come out next year that’s fine for me to as my contract is up in March of 2012, and I’ll still have the unlimited data. So if it is a waiting game they want to play with no official updates to keep consumers in the know, I will play too to get the best phone available with the best power consumption.

if this pos doesnt come out august i might as well wait for the motorola droid thats coming out in december or the iphone 5
When Motorola announced comming in Summer, I knew it was going to be Septmember (and probabably late September). I checked out the Droid Charge and fell in love with the screen. Bought it a week after it came out (just long enough to read the reviews that the battery life was decent).

I really do hope it does get released next week. Or at very least smash these rumors. I mean for some people this is a much needed upgrade. Like me I’m still with my Droid Eris, and it’s about for fall apart both internally and externally.
I know I am stuck with my Droid Eris as well and am in need of a new phone. I know it will release when its ready but I’m running out of memory on my phone and I’m ready to upgrade. I will wait for this phone because there is nothing else that really catches my eye other than the droid 3 and I really want 4G because if I’m stuck on contract for 2 years I want something that will last until my next upgrade.
Just remember the Xoom is still all screwed up, maybe Motorola is waiting for a super packaged chipset with all the connectivity build in.
Maybe Verizion flavor of 4G is hard to compress, and they don’t want to release anything that is/was going to hurt battery performance like crazy.
Just a thought.
I think you can get it’s cousin the Atrix on AT&T for $50 now! 4G (slower), 1GB memory, and Tegra2! No way I’m paying $300 for something that is just a tad better than the Atrix. I do hate AT&T though. I might just settle with a Droid3, just have to wait and see. Sigh.
Just canceled 4 lines on Verizon and got 4 evos 3d. Thank you sprint, screw verizon the mind games…others shouldn’t let them do the same to them, make a move.
I’ll put it this way. If it doesn’t come out until September, I’ll just get the iPhone5…phuckem
