14 DAY TRIAL // On Wednesday, Verizon Wireless announced the launch of a new mobile phone on its airwaves, the Motorola DROID Bionic, and now the handset is available for purchase from the wireless carrier's website.
Just as announced, the new device was put up for sale at $299.99 with the signing of a two-year contract agreement with the wireless carrier, while being priced at $599.99 in full retail.
The Motorola DROID Bionic is the fourth smartphone to arrive on shelves at Verizon with support for the carrier's 4G LTE network and with the Android operating system on board.
However, this is the first LTE handset at Verizon to sport a dual-core application processor and a large 4.3-inch touchscreen display, which makes it the most appealing of them all.
The DROID Bionic was also packed with an 8-megapixel photo snapper on the back, with support for full HD video recording.
Overall, the performance and experience that DROID Bionic should provide users with is expected to be higher than what any other Verizon smartphone has to deliver.
“Droid Bionic is equipped with a warehouse’s worth of next–generation DDR2 on–board RAM and a dual–core 1GHz processor, so you can cruise the web and take what’s yours at the supersonic speed of Verizon 4G LTE,” the wireless carrier notes.
“Proclaim dominion over all that you survey with an audio/visual recording studio. Bionic shoots stills in 8 megapixels so you can blow up your photos and revel in your hi–res masterpieces. Flip the switch to video capture and record in mind–blowing 1080p HD.”
The smartphone has a 4.3-inch screen that can deliver a 960 x 540 pixels (qHD) resolution, and offers WiFi and Bluetooth connectivity capabilities, as well as GPS receiver, mobile hotspot capabilities, or the free ZumoCast app to access or stream files from home or work.
Moreover, the mobile phone comes accompanied by a series of accessories that can expand its capabilities, including a Lapdock through which users can enjoy a full Firefox 4.0 browser on an 11.6 inch screen.
