It's been a long and bumpy road for the Droid Bionic, which was originally announced at CES and immediately overshadowed by its sister phone the Atrix, but it's finally here -- and Motorola and Verizon have turned it into a seriously high-end device. It's the first dual-core 4G LTE phone, with a 1GHz TI OMAP processor, a 4.3-inch qHD display, and an 8-megapixel camera with 1080p video recording. It's also been given the same Webtop browser-based computing environment as the Atrix and Photon, with its own versions of the laptop-like Lapdock, HD dock, and desktop docks, as well as the tiny new $30 Webtop adapter, which lets you use the phone as a keyboard and trackpad while running Webtop on a larger display. All those specs come at a price, though -- it'll go on sale tomorrow for $299. Our full review is coming later today -- so stay tuned.
