Motorola Droid Bionic Gets Possible Pricing, Another Release Date
We’ve seen the Motorola Droid Bionic pop up in just about every way possible. From some crisp shots showing off its design to a photo showing off its formidable 4G LTE data speeds, we’ve seen just about everything Droid Bionic related. And today, we saw just about every feature of the Bionic leak out which was just the cherry on top. However, there are still two big things that remain a mystery.
The release date and pricing of Verizon’s first 4G LTE smartphone. September 8th has been the rumored date for the Droid Bionic’s launch and I’ve guessed that Verizon is going to offer this thing for $250 on a new two year contract. Maybe even $300. Other retailers will likely have it for around $200 to $250. Guesses, nothing more.
Well forget all of that for a second because we now have another possible release date and retail pricing for the Droid Bionic courtesy of Android Central. They have a screen shot of an internal document that shows off the Droid Bionic being listed as $587 full retail price. Obviously, with a contract and rebates, that price will surely be a lot different. I am willing to wager that full retail might even be $600 when it everything is said and done with a $300 on-contract price tag.
I can’t dispute physical evidence though so $587 might actually be the real retail price. Strange number, though.
In addition, we have another possible release date: August 26th. Also odd, seeing as though it’s a Friday and Verizon loves to launch on Thursday’s. Now, obviously, this would come before Motorola’s projected September release date but the phone appears to be very ready for launch so I wouldn’t be shocked to see it come earlier than what was promised.
I think a lot of you would be willing to accept that as a sort of consolation prize for the long wait. Maybe not.
Anyway, August 25th or August 26th are now both possibilities and if you want the Droid Bionic off-contract, you’re probably going to have to shell out close to $600.
How does all of that sit with everyone? Or are you now waiting for the Droid HD instead?
Dumb ass look at the quantity it says 2 so it’s not gonna cost as much as you say
Nice thought on the Aug. Release, but that was quickly debunked. I’m sure y’all know that though.
Motorola Droid Bionic is going to be released on September 7, 2011. They will be $299 with a new contract and $649 retail.
If the VZW got away with charging $299 +2yr contract with the DCharge, YOu can rest assured that the new DBionic with much better hardware and OS will be offered @ $349.00 with 2yr contract.

Bet on it. The DCharge with it’s older hardware and older OS retailed for $599.00.
You guys are going to pay up the yinyang for the DBionic. It’s highway robbery i tells ya…
Umm first 4G LTE? what about the HTC Thunderbolt, and DROID charge, and I also have had zero problems with the shelf life of my DROID 2 global
