Droid Bionic Delayed Until Summer

Even though the Motorola Droid Bionic was announced early this year at CES alongside Verizon’s HTC Thunderbolt and its AT &T counterpart the Motorola Atrix, it’s just be confirmed that its launch will be delayed until this summer. Even then, it’s been said that it will then later be available for purchase sometime during the third quarter (late summer). So basically we are looking at a release date of sometime between late September and early October, a far reach from the proposed quarter one – quarter two launch date. A Motorola spokesperson says that the reason for the delay was that the company is “incorporating several enhancements to make this an even better consumer experience.” This most likely due to feedback they received since the Bionic was displayed back at CES. I personally hope Motorola address the issue of user interface lag that plagues most of their phones. As demonstrated in the video below, it doesn’t compare to the responsiveness of other phones such as HTCs and the Apple iPhone. I think if they address that issue during this release delay then it will be well worth it and the Bionic might have a change when going head to head with other devices.
