Costco has a sick deal on Bionic phones.

I picked up the Bionic from Costco today. I hate getting new phones as it takes forever to learn the new tips and tricks. Besides that MFC comes in very clear which makes me happy!

I had a droid, this Bionic is a bit different. Those videos are for older droid! I'll get use to it, just give me the weekend!

Yep, very fast. Can't get my contacts to sync up with my FB pics with everyone. I googled it and it seems like a problem. Should work itself out shortly.

[venus]

Its not a problem..set up an account for it like you do email

[venus]

go settings then accounts, then add account and chooose facebook, that will enable you to get msgs from facebook and synch your contacts and pics..also then go to the gallery in your apps section and you will be able to see the photos people are posting on facebook

BTW I woke up this morning and had 4g in my house....blazing fast
here is a screen shot from my test

no iphone can do these speeds

[venus]

I have the ipad, the xoom, blackberry storm and the Bionic right now. Ipad and iphone same thing...one is just bigger then the other and it sucks for everything except games.

You've clearly never used one.

Took the words out of my mouth, I have to have a large screen. I'm 6'2 225 with large hands and the evo is perfect size for me to text. I'll purchase the Iphone 5 if it has a 4.3 as well.

gain 5 more pounds and you'll need an iPhone........

Games..LOL. That's probably the one thing those plastic toys do well with their flash capability and oversized inferior screens.

I have had both too, (not the Bionic, but the HTC EVO) and I've played with the Droids a lot. Anyone can read my individual points and test them out for themselves. The iOS is far superior IMO.

[venus]

actually I need flash to keep watch on my horses when they are about ready to have their babies. The only way to watch them live is via flash video server, so when I am gone, I can pull them up on my phone to check in on them...cant do that with the ipad..

also on a side note, remember when AOL used to send out all those free CD's, and AOL users never seemed to have a clue...same seems to go for the iphone crowd now...99% of the emails I get about phones/tablets are from iphone users having problems, so either the phone is horrible for porn, or most iphone users are the new AOL

how is that 4g workig out for you BTW

Venus, how do I get the Bionic to sync with Facebook but NOT add new contacts from Facebook? I don't want ppl I haven't seen in 10 years to be in my phone!

I can't find the damn setting!

The most intuitive phone in the world, everything else is just a big plastic toy that drains your battery with a bunch of features on paper chasing after the original innovator.

LOL.

Came in here to say this...

The web browsing benchmarks are also quite embarrassing for the SII and the Bionic. Android fanboys are scrambling to post their own benchmarks with 3rd party browsers and custom ROMS. And even those don't come close to what the iPhone 4S is putting out with Safari.

The iPhone 4S is destroying every single Android phone right now in performance across all benchmarks.

OUCH.

You need to buy a modern system then. A majority of the internet enabled security cameras come with exclusive iOS apps. I bought one 3 years ago that did.
