Motorola DROID Bionic Enlarge picture - Motorola DROID Bionic
The owners of a Motorola DROID Bionic who were waiting for enhancements to arrive on their devices via a new software update will have to wait a little longer for that to happen, as Motorola does not plan the release of a new firmware for the device in the next 30 days or so.

In a recent post on the company's support forums, a Motorola employee explains that the company is indeed working on the release of a new update for the mobile phone, but that it will not be made available before December kicks off.

Most probably, the smartphone will be tasting the update sometime during the next month, at least this is what the said post reads:

I know everyone is eager for updated software. We have been working diligently on a software update for DROID BIONIC and have a version in the testing stage; we expect to deliver it to users in 30 to 60 days.

The update is targeting issues identified through owner feedback and we’re confident it will improve device performance.

i am returning my bionic before my 14 days runs out. it is disgraceful they released a phone with so many bugs after so long a wait for the phone. Especially the camera (What were they thinking)
I was a dedicated motorola user but that is getting ready to come to an end.

This thing is driving me nuts with the constant data connection drop-outs. I bought it so that I would have better data connectivety, and half the time it tells me it does not have a data connection at all. Seriously? Also the alarm function does not work sometimes, the keyboard software is contantly crashing, it refuses to allow the screen to remain on when plugged in(constantly resets this setting on its own), drops apps from the memory, and it randomly reboots. Not buying another motorola phone anytime soon. Seriously dissappointed in this phone.

This phone is terrible. I cannot believe this market was released in it current state. Never buy a Motorola phone.

Almost ready to switch carriers over this issue. I use this phone for my job and its a real problem to drop data all the time.

I think verizon needs to make this right with the customers that have bought the bionic. They need to send each one a gift card for at least 100.00 since this * thing hasn't worked in the 3 months that I have had it
