On Motorola's MotoDev site is a chart listing specs of three of the manufacturer's smartphones. On the left is the recently launched Motorola DROID 3 while on the right is the just released Motorola PHOTON 4G. And in the middle is the handset that Big Red customers have been waiting to see since the CES in January, the Motorola DROID Bionic.
Forget that the model number listed for the handset is for the old model, that would appear to be a legitimate mistake. The official specs for the DROID Bionic include a 1GHz TI OMAP4430 dual-core processor (making the handset eligible to receive Netflix HD), 1GB of RAM (vs. 512MB for the DROID 3), a 4.3 inch qHD display and an 8MP rear camera that captures video in 1080p. A front facing VGA camera is not 2MP as early rumors said, but will take self-portraits and work for video chatting. Speaking of which, thanks to the installation of Android 2.3.4, gTalk is on board! The Motorola DROID Bionic will have a webtop dock and, of course, is LTE enabled.
So now that the specs are official, were they worth the wait? Will everyone still hold on to their upgrade waiting until the launch next month, or is the Motorola DROID 3 playing its siren song?
