Motorola DROID BIONIC receives some enhancements with its latest maintenance update

Posted on Jun 08, 2012 by MG1

Although it’s far from being the shiniest thing out of Motorola’s stable, the already aging DROID BIONIC is still receiving some love in the form of a new over-the-air update. Verizon Wireless customers still holding dearly to the smartphone, in light of some recent ones, should be seeing that notification hitting their device right about now.
Bringing the smartphone up to version 5.9.905, it brings forth a few enhancements that should no doubt keep existing owners content enough to still call the device their own. From the looks of it all, the maintenance update features the following items:

Verizon's Droid Bionic drops to $99, loses bundled microSD card

Verizon's Droid Bionic drops to $99, loses bundled microSD card

Posted on Feb 17, 2012 by MG1

Last month, Verizon dropped the price on the Droid RAZR while removing the bundled 16GB microSD card and now it's doing the same thing with Motorola's Droid Bionic. The handset will be available for $99.99 on contract (down from $299.99 when we reviewed it in September) and features 16GB of internal storage, a 1GHz dual-core processor, 1GB of RAM, and a 4.3-inch qHD display. We liked the Droid Bionic, but Verizon subscribers might also want to take a look at the 8GB iPhone 4 and theSamsung Stratosphere (for the hardware keyboard people out there) at the same price point before taking the plunge.

Motorola promises Android 4.0 ICS upgrades for DROID RAZR, DROID BIONIC, XOOM (again)

Motorola promises Android 4.0 ICS upgrades for DROID RAZR, DROID BIONIC, XOOM (again)

Posted on Dec 08, 2011 by MG1

Motorola has posted a rather lengthy explanation of the Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich upgrade process to its corporate blog, where it details the four major steps that need to occur before a software update is made available to users. Unfortunately, the company doesn't provide any extra information as to exactly when the Android 4.0 upgrade for existing devices will be released or when it plans to launch new devices with Android 4.0 already on them. It did reiterate its previous commitment to bring the new software to the DROID RAZR, DROID BIONIC, and XOOM tablet, but it has yet to provide an exact timeframe.

Verizon's Motorola Droid Bionic now available for $119 at Amazon

Verizon's Motorola Droid Bionic now available for $119 at Amazon

Posted on Nov 09, 2011 by MG1

Amazon has once again lowered the price of Verizon’s Motorola Droid Bionic, now selling it for $119. Of course, a new two-year contract is required but that’s like given these days. And that’s still much lower than $249, which is the phone’s price at Verizon’s website.
Now, we all know Verizon will soon start selling the Droid RAZR that we also know as the “world’s thinnest smartphone” as well as the Nexus Galaxy, both of which are better in some ways than the Droid Bionic. Actually, RAZR is only thinner than the Bionic, while the rest of the specs are pretty much identical. That said, the Bionic is still one of the best smartphones in the Big Red’s portfolio and grabbing it for 120 bucks ma...

Motorola DROID BIONIC to get Ice Cream Sandwich update

Motorola DROID BIONIC to get Ice Cream Sandwich update

Posted on Oct 21, 2011 by MG1

It is hard to believe that after all of those months that Verizon customers were eagerly waiting, the Motorola DROID BIONIC could be wiped out by the announcement of the upcoming Motorola DROID RAZR. Many owners of the DROID BIONIC feel slighted after Motorola showed off the extremely thin and sexy design of the DROID RAZR, not to mention the Super AMOLED display that does away with the often criticized pentile display found on the older of the two DROID models. And the Motorola DROID RAZR will be a little faster with a dual-core 1.2GHz processor under the hood.
Good news for Motrorola DROID BIONIC owners
Yesterday, we reported that the Motorola DROID RAZR would be receiving an update to the...

Amazon has all Verizon phones for a cent until October 17, including the Motorola DROID BIONIC

Posted on Oct 17, 2011 by MG1

In case you haven't seen it already, Amazon has Verizon's whole cell phone lineup for grabs at the price of a penny each. Yes, that includes phones that are normally $299, like the Motorola DROID BIONIC.
So if you are planning to tie the knot with Verizon for the next two years anyway, Amazon's generous pricing scheme will come in handy. Moreover, you have the regular free two-day shipping treatment, and the whole "Penny-Pincher" offer expires on October 17.

Motorola LAPDOCK 100 turns select Moto smartphones into laptops

Motorola LAPDOCK 100 turns select Moto smartphones into laptops

Posted on Oct 13, 2011 by MG1

This is the moment we’ve all been waiting for, the moment when smartphones are beginning to replace laptop computers. The newly unveiled Motorola LAPDOCK 100 connects to select Moto smartphones effectively turning them into laptops.
To be fair, we’ve already seen something similar in the past with Celio REDFLY products, which worked with Windows Mobile devices, providing users with big screen and big keyboard. This time, however, we’re talking about an Android-based solution and we’re hoping other handset manufacturers and/or third-party accessory makers will release more of such “docks” that sing along an array of smartphones.
The Motorola LAPDOCK 100 weighs 2.2lbs (less than 1Kg) and works...

Verizon promises major Droid Bionic bug fix in November

Verizon promises major Droid Bionic bug fix in November

Posted on Oct 03, 2011 by MG3

A Droid-Life reader contacted Verizon about some issues with his Droid Bionic smartphone and was rewarded for his efforts with a huge bug list and a timeline for fixing them. A fix for the 4G/3G connection issues is scheduled for November, and the high-pitch noise when using a headset, MMS bugs, Lapdock problems and others should be addressed at the same time. Verizon also cautions that users can't use non-Verizon or non-Motorola chargers and USB cables with the handset, and connecting eight devices at the same time won't work, unlike early promises.

Droid Bionic mod brings HDMI mirroring and Webtop to your car, please drive responsibly

Droid Bionic mod brings HDMI mirroring and Webtop to your car, please drive responsibly

Posted on Sep 21, 2011 by MG1

You're cruisin' in your sweet ride when all of a sudden you realize exactly what your set of wheels is missing: Webtop. While the vast majority of us may shrug off the thought, convincing ourselves that our 3.5mm jack or cassette player is plenty to keep us mindlessly entertained through the morning commute, one man with the know-how dared to be different. All of that blazing-fast LTE pumping out of his Droid Bionic was being wasted, after all, so why not outfit his car's AV setup with Webtop and HDMI mirroring capabilities to blast Netflix on his dash and multiple screens in the back for the kiddies? It's a clever mod, but we don't condone the use of Netflix whilst driving, of course; just ...

Motorola DROID BIONIC - was it worth the wait

Motorola DROID BIONIC - was it worth the wait

Posted on Sep 14, 2011 by MG1

You know what this expression means. In the field of mobile technology, we would use it to signify our admiration to a particular product or service that seems to be ahead of its time. In this relation, the Motorola DROID BIONIC, announced on January 5, seemed like a smartphone that was too good to be true, with its ubiquitous spec sheet, which almost magically combined all that was considered trendy and cool at the time.
Back at CES 2011, the DROID BIONIC made one helluva splash, with its promise to be the first handset to deliver both 4G LTE connectivity and a dual-core CPU, which would enhance the overall experience of using the phone, presumably surpassing anything we've seen up to this ...

Droid Bionic gets extended battery treatment, proudly struts its freshman 15

Droid Bionic gets extended battery treatment, proudly struts its freshman 15

Posted on Sep 09, 2011 by MG15

As you're aware, the Droid Bionic features a 1735mAh battery that provides a slight bump in capacity over its competition -- namely the Droid Charge and Thunderbolt. Still, if you plan to push this LTE powerhouse beyond moderate usage, you'll likely find yourself in a feverish hunt for wall outlets before the day is through. Now, Android Central gives us a peek at the Bionic's extended battery, and so long as you're willing to live with the (super obvious) protrusion, you'll find the latest Droid riding high with a 2760mAh cell. Perhaps it's not the sleekest solution in the world, but hey, at least it's not quite so insulting as the extended battery on Verizon's first LTE handset -- take a p...
