We mentioned two days ago that the DROID Bionic might be coming this September, and Motorola CEO Sanjay Jha confirmed it yesterday during Motorola’s Q2 earnings call. The DROID Bionic will be coming to Verizon some time this September, so those who have been waiting for it since CES won’t have to sit around watching other cool Android handsets pass by much longer.

PhoneScoop reports:

Motorola Mobility CEO Sanjay Jha said that the Droid Bionic, its first LTE handset for Verizon Wireless, will arrive in September. The phone was announced at CES in January, but had been delayed due to software issues.

We’re glad to hear that software issues were sorted before launching, because we also know what it’s like when devices are released prematurely and users are left waiting for updates to sort bugs.

Will you be picking up a new DROID Bionic? Or did you get tired of waiting and went ahead and purchased another new Android device?

    Well, at least Moto has committed to an exact month.  I’ve been waiting since it was announced at the beginning of the year–I desperately need a new phone, but I have put off purchasing another Droid phone for the promise of what the Bionic will bring to the table.  I’m getting tired of waiting though, and if I don’t see a launch in the first half of September, I’m going to have to go with a different phone.
