Motorola Droid Bionic Delayed Until Summer

It's not a matter of whether customers want, or don't want, a 1 year contract. It's also not a matter of a company being taken down a peg. The majority of Verizom Wireless customers will go unaffected by the removal of this option. The people who want a new phone frequently enough to be affected still have ths option of retail pricing. Frankly, american consumers would probably faint if cell carriers did away with discounted pricing for contracts.

It's a shame the option is gone, but it doesnt take away anything but another option for the customer to not pay what the phone is worth. Big deal.
