It’s called the DROID Bionic and I don’t think I’ve seen much about this phone lately. Almost daily now we have seen a leak or a photo of some sort and it’s to the point of almost irritation. Can Verizon just release this bad boy already? Today new pictures are popping up from multiple sources showing the Droid Bionic as “coming soon” in Best Buy ad magazines and more.</div>

<div style="color: #444444; font-family: Georgia, 'Bitstream Charter', serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 1.5; margin-bottom: 24px;">
The Motorola Droid Bionic is only what like 4 months late to the market, unless we are counting when we saw it at CES but that wouldn’t really be fair. Just to help you readers out here are a few of the recent leaks. We saw some impressive speedtest results a few days ago, leaked photos of it and the Droid HD, and more recently a tips and guide manual. Latest reports are still suggesting a September launch date although we did hear some rumors of it coming late August but that is doubtful.</div>
<div style="color: #444444; font-family: Georgia, 'Bitstream Charter', serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 1.5; margin-bottom: 24px;">
So what does everything think about all these leaks so far? Are there so many that you don’t really care to see a flyer or Best Buy ad, or are all these leaks that are happening almost daily a good sign that it may be coming sooner than we think? I’m not trying to rain on the Bionic and its parade but I’m already switching my focus to the Droid HD and the Samsung Nexus Prime, but that’s just me.</div>
<div style="color: #444444; font-family: Georgia, 'Bitstream Charter', serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 1.5; margin-bottom: 24px;">
Either way this phone should and better launch soon, if for some odd reason they delay it again I don’t think it would end well for Motorola or Verizon.</div>

Basically their 4G offering is putting the rest to shame, while AT&T is barely even getting started. We last heard of around 25 new cities getting updated back in July and now only a few weeks later they are adding 15 more cities to the 4G spectrum while upgrading and expanding the reach in many others.</div>

Starting tomorrow August 18th, Verizon will be flipping the power switch to 15 more cities boosting them up to those lovely 4G speeds we’ve been seeing lately. Just in time for the 4G LTE DROID Bionic to hit the shelves right? It has been showing some impressive speedtest results thanks to 4G so anyone that is about to get the upgrade to 4G should be excited and probably buy the Bionic.<br style="color: #444444; font-family: Georgia, 'Bitstream Charter', serif; line-height: 1.5;" /><span class="Apple-style-span" mce_name="strong" mce_style="font-weight: bold;" style="color: #444444; font-family: Georgia, 'Bitstream Charter', serif; font-weight: bold; line-height: 1.5;"><br style="color: #444444; font-family: Georgia, 'Bitstream Charter', serif; line-height: 1.5;" />New 4G LTE Cities:</span></div>

There is a lot of larger cities as well as plenty smaller ones on both of those lists. Users will be happy to know they are about to get introduced to what we all have been loving for a few months already. For more details on all available 4G cities feel free to read over the Press Release. I’ve been enjoying 4G LTE on the Galaxy Tab 10.1 LTE version and you can read my full review here.</div>

The Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 is an amazing tablet, but its about to get even better with the release of the Galaxy Tab 10.1 LTE packing those blazing fast Verizon 4G speeds. This release has been a bit of a bumpy road but it finally went up for pre-order at the end of June. A few users that ordered that exact day (June 29th) are now getting email replies suggesting the tablet will ship on the 26th, that is just this Tuesday.</div>

Our friends over at Droid-Life received a tip suggesting just that and even have the screenshot to prove it. We have not heard a peep from Samsung or Verizon regarding this launch so this seems a bit odd but we’ll take it. We have seen a few posters and ads appearing in Verizon stores so this very well could be the official shipping date.</div>

Apparently the Galaxy Tab 10.1 will be using Verizon’s new Micro SIM for 4G LTE and probably more devices like the Bionic will too. If they are shipping on the 26th we might see a July 28th official launch date and that would tie in nicely with the recent earning call where they said the device <span class="Apple-style-span" mce_name="strong" mce_style="font-weight: bold;" style="color: #444444; font-family: Georgia, 'Bitstream Charter', serif; font-weight: bold; line-height: 1.5;">“is expected to launch by the end of this month.”</span> If that isn’t enough proof I don’t know what is, from my view it looks like we will finally see the Galaxy Tab 10.1 LTE next week.</div>
