  The phone is nicely made and I am an avid android user. However, there are some issues that annoy me with the phone's stupid Motorola software.

  For one, sometimes when you move an app from the phone's "Internal Storage" to the "Media Area" (A separate partition of the internal storage for no reason), the app disappears and you have to re-install it. Some have suggested that moving apps is unnecessary with the ample space given, but a second issue compounds with this one for a truly annoying experience. Sometimes, when installing an app, the phone reports the internal storage as full when it is nowhere near full. So, I move an app to the media area to make "Room", and it then disappears.

  Add this to data issues that have been improved but not resolved by the recent update., and I am left wishing I had waited a bit longer before upgrading.

  Very rushed phone. Verizon and Motorola released this phone originally with significant flaws. Yes, they could have delayed it and fixed the connectivity issues everyone was faced with, but then that would've conflicted too much with the RAZR's release date and would've rendered the Bionic useless. Motorola/Verizon launched this phone when they did so that they made a quick dime when early adopters came around. It's a shame what they did, but the recently released OTA update for the phone really fixed almost every issue. Now, my only gripe is the locked bootloader, which severely limits the amount of ROMs available for the phone.

  I was too impatient to wait for the RAZR or Nexus (both superior phones in my opinion), so I pounced on this on day 1. Honestly, it's a great phone that does everything I want it to. I even kept the diet-blur for a whole week before reverting to LauncherPro Plus.

  It just feels so... Q1-2011... Had Motorola released this phone back in May, it may have been this year's Supersonic (Evo 4G). One month before the RAZR gets announced? Ouch. Anyway, I _do_ enjoy the phone, I just wish it had a bigger/better screen, ICS, better camera; blah, blah, blah - I shoulda waited for the Nexus... Though the last 3 months have been an incredible improvement over my hacked-to-death OG Droid.
