For a few months now, I’ve been reading up about Verizon’s new phone, the Droid Bionic. I was eager to learn more ever since I heard about it earlier this year. I think that they did a great job of getting attention for the Droid Bionic. I saw so many commercials advertising that it was coming and also a lot of hype on Twitter. As soon as I found out that I would be getting my hands on a Motorola Droid Bionic, thanks to the Verizon Midwest Moms program, I was thrilled!
It even came in a really cool box!
After taking a few pictures of the Droid Bionic and sharing on Facebook and Twitter, I plugged it in! It was almost dead so I had to anxiously wait for it to charge.
Once I got it turned on, I dove into exploring the phone! I found this great Beginner’s Guide to the Droid Bionic, but I like to explore a new gadget myself to see what I can learn.
The first thing I wanted to do was get all of my contacts into my phone. If you want to transfer your contacts using a USB, then you can check out this great step by step guide. The first thing I did though was connect it to Facebook. All of my friends that have their phone numbers connected to Facebook were then put into my contacts on my Droid Bionic. I loved how easy it was!
I was then able to connect my personal email account, my blog email account, Twitter and Facebook. I love that whenever someone mentions me on Twitter, I get a message on Facebook or even just an email, my phone notifies me and I can easily “slide” down the screen to choose what notification I want to look at.
I’ve started exploring the Andoid Marketplace and discovering what some of my favorite apps are. I’d love to hear what your favorite app is so I can download it to the Bionic!
Right now, I’m loving the large screen of the phone. The Droid Bionic has a 8MP camera. I love bringing the phone with me to take pictures.
I’m also loving the fast 4G speed of Verizon! I have an upcoming post where I compare it to another phone carrier (Hint: They don’t even come CLOSE to being as fast as Verizon!)
I’d love to hear your thoughts and questions on the Droid Bionic! I’ll definitely be sharing more!
Disclosure: I received Verizon products as part of the Verizon Midwest Moms program. All thought and opinions are my own.

I can’t believe you ditched your iPhone!

You went from an iPhone to a Droid? I did the opposite, but my droid was a little older, totally in love with the iPhone, but I want to hear more about your experience, why did you decided to change and what are the major differences that you see in the droid that you like and that the iPhone didn’t offer? Besides the typical “apps are free” on android market. And also, do you use a PC or a Mac? I have found that makes a huge difference. 🙂 Sorry for the million questions, I just like to ask and search for customer experience.

Just got the Droid Bionic for work and love it! I love the I Heart Radio app. And Facebook is so much easier on here than on my BlackBerry.
