I'm the co a senior associate editor for cnet.com and this is a first look at the motorola droid bionic it's been nine long months and we finally have it in our hands you may remember the droid bionic from our CES 2011 coverage however this droid bionic is a little bit different than the one that we showed in fact it's a little bit sleeker a little bit sexier and definitely a lot thinner in fact verizon says that the motorola droid bionic is its thinnest LTE phone it's also the very first dual core phone to support 4G LTE on verizon it shifts at android 2.3 point for which is the latest update for Gingerbread at this time and it is free of the usual motoblur interface it is up to five customizable home screens and the menu is a little bit different as well the 4.3 inch display on the droid bionic mix this phone a little bit big but the screen is amazing the qhd display really pops of color on the back it is an 8 megapixel camera lens with an LED flash it's also the first 4G LTE phone to shoot full 1080p HD video since the drug Bionic has both a 1 gigahertz dual-core processor and 4G LTE speeds the overall phone experience is very fast navigating through the phone is very zippy multitasking was not a problem at all the browser was also quite impressive it supports html5 content as well as adobe flash video in fact we were able to load a flash video pretty quickly the Droid Bionic has very strong multimedia features not only does it have the 8 megapixel camera and camcorder like we said those as a front facing camera for video calls aside from multimedia features the Droid Bionic also has very good business features it has strong device and data encryption you can also remotely wipe the device as well as the SD card the Droid Bionic comes with an app called zumocast that lets you easily share transfer files from a PC application you can do this over 4g LTE and 3d not just Wi-Fi like with the atrix you can dock the Droid Bionic into this laptop accessory and use it as a portable pc other accessories include an HD station which requires an external monitor you can also plug it in into little tiny webtop adapter that you can attach to an external monitor as well the webtop applications definitely extend the functionality of this phone the webtop app allows you to access different apps like Firefox in facebook as well as a variety of office apps like Citrix gotomeeting and Citrix documents and of course the Droid Bionic is all of the usual Android features like Gmail Google Talk and more the Droid Bionic ships with the aforementioned 1 gigahertz dual-core processor it also has one gigabyte of ram and 16 gigabytes of internal storage it also shows the 16 gigabyte SD card however it is expandable up to 32 gigabytes on the whole the Droid Bionic is a slim slick powerful and fast device the webtop application lets you use all of these different accessories however it's around three hundred dollars if a new two-year service agreement with the verizon wireless the laptop dock is around three hundred dollars as well the HD station top one hundred dollars the webtop adapter is around thirty dollars so is it worth the wait we think so but is it worth the price we have our doubts i'm nicole lee this has been the first look at the motorola droid bionic hmm
