I went ahead and got the Moto Droid Bionic.
Overall, the phone has been fine, except for the wireless "wifi hot spot", which was nothing but frustration and trouble since I turned it on last week while on vacation. My netbook, sitting 6 inches from the phone, would lose the data connection from the phone repeatedly and often, even though the signal strength was 5 bars and rated "excellent". Sometimes the phone showed 4G/LTE, sometimes it switched to 3G, and on occasion it lost the data connection entirely. It was almost like 1996 and losing your dial-up connection on AOL... I spent a couple of hours on the phone with Verizon tech support that night and the next day changing settings and reloading software into the phone (just what I wanted to do on vacation), but the problems continued. So the next day they had me go to a local Verizon store, which was an independent dealer, and they put in a new SIM card for me. This seemed to help some, but problems continued over the weekend. We had from 1 to 3 computers trying to use the connection, and they'd all lose the connection at the same time when it happened, yet at times it was solid for over an hour. Sunday I drove to Ft. Lauderdale and the problem continued here, so again talking with tech support, they decided the problem was a hardware problem with the phone and sent me a certified replacement (repaired) phone, which I got today. I must say, for the hour I've been online, the connection has been rock solid and I haven't been dropped yet! If this continues, I'm a happy camper!

Costco's "Take and Bake" pizzas. I had the pepperoni, the girls had the veggie. There is also a 4 cheese version. Outstanding. The box says bake at 400 for 10 to 15 minutes. I recommend the full 15. They are $8.99. This week the pepperoni version is $3 off. Lotta pizza for $6!

My brother got engaged about 15 years ago over a Costco pizza and a Costco diamond solitaire. He made it a big deal and took her out to Costco on the date. None of this "Take and Bake" stuff for him .lawgrad91 wrote:We have a Costco pepperoni in the fridge for tomorrow night.OZZIE4DUKE wrote:Costco's "Take and Bake" pizzas.

I can't officially endorse this since I've never ordered anything from these folks...but this looks cool.
