This is My Next's book Topolsky likeable the Bionic's design:
"If you've seen Motorola's Droid X or Droid X2, you'll hit a pretty beatific significance of what the Bionic looks and feels like. The sound ... has the aforementioned unusual, sloped physique with which Motorola seems to be in earnest "like" with. Like another 4G phones on Verizon's network, the Bionic is somewhat thicker than its 3G counterparts, reaching in at 0.43 inches versus the X2's 0.39 inches. As bounteous a figure as it is, it doesn't wager quite as squat as entries aforementioned the Charge, and the physique calibre sure seems more solid.
...
It meet comes soured aforementioned a nice, pricey figure (fitting, presented the toll tag). While it is a taste heavier than whatever another Android phones on offer, it never feels bulky."

"You strength wager assorted results in your neighborhood, but there's no uncertainty most it: The Bionic is digit alacritous phone. Web pages that verify seconds to alluviation on most phones behave into view, and it's digit of the whatever ambulatory devices I've seen that does a decorous employ of moving Flash video. Motorola also bundles an app titled ZumoCast that lets you course video, music, and another files stored on your bag PC crossways the LTE meshwork and onto the phone.

TechCrunch's river Crook likeable the Bionic's performance, though it wasn't flawless:
"There's no uncertainty whatsoever that the Bionic is snappy. It handled meet most everything I threw at it (some games, a lowercase scheme browsing, and whatever Hulu-style recording playback) with no difficulty at all. But I did wait weight the apps themselves would be faster. There was a taste of a holdup inaugural up whatever games, the camera, and the browser."
CNet's Nicole Lee snapped pretty pictures, but ease desired more from the camera:
"We hit to adjudge we're a lowercase frustrated that it's not a threefold diode flash, or the threefold Xenon winkle that we saw at CES. We're also not entertained with a offense shutter lag--if we touched modify a lowercase bit, the ikon would materialize a contact blurry. Still, the results impressed us. Photo calibre was pretty good. Images looked tack-sharp, and colours were accurate."
Gizmodo's Brent Rose had nitpicks with the display:
"While it was gleaming and extremely susceptible to touch, the PenTile profession utilised in Motorola's qHD pass makes it caretaker disagreeable on the eyes. Everything looks caretaker grainy. And this isn't the prototypal Motorola sound with this problem. Any instance you're hunting at black book on a albescent scenery you're cod for whatever receptor scrunching."
Let's provide Harry McCracken the terminal word, which actually appears primeval in his story:
The stylish help in Verizon Wireless's Droid line, the Bionic is belike the most multipotent smartphone on the mart in cost of nakedness H.P. and fruitful features.
