With Verizon's Droid Bionic page having just gone live, it is inevitable that deals will begin springing up. Well, the first one didn't take long.

Update: The price just dropped even further by another $20 - to $179.99. Amazon is turning up the heat!

Amazon Wireless is now offering the Bionic on a new 2-year contract for $199.99 $179.99. That's a cool $100 $120 off the price that Verizon is offering direct from their website. The catch is you may have to wait a few days, as the phone is currently listed as backordered, but it'll likely change very soon (the Bionic did just get released officially minutes ago). The two-day free shipping is one day longer than what VZW is offering, but I think we can agree that $120 difference makes it worth the wait.

Upgrades are $249.99, which still makes them $50 off MSRP.

To reiterate, the Droid Bionic is packing some serious power. Here are some of its specs:

  • Dual-core 1GHz processor
  • 4.3" qHD display
  • 1GB RAM
  • 16GB Internal storage, with support for microSD cards up to 32GB
  • 8MP shooter with improved low-light performance
  • Full 1080p video capture
  • Front-facing VGA camera
  • LTE/Hotspot capability
  • Android 2.3 Gingerbread
