Today is Tuesday, September 13th, 2011, and my last day testing the new Verizon DROID BIONIC. I was able to test the 4G speeds in three different states over the past six days. The fastest speed I was able to reach was 15,201 Mbps (Mega bits per second) for download, and 6,436 Mbps upload - awesome! The AT&T 3G and many Wi-Fi connections shadow in comparison to the speed when surfing the Verizon LTE 4G. The BIONIC phone was great to use as a work and personal phone. I am honestly sad to give it up... However, who knows what my next phone purchase will be for there are three more major phones coming out this year. The iPhone 5, the Nexus Prime, and the Samsung Galaxy S II. Depending on the test results, customer feedback, look/feel, stability, new features, and performance the BIONIC might just have another owner soon!
As far as networks go, Verizon has the speed hands down. There are outage spots (dead zones) for both carriers (AT&T and Verizon). When it comes down to it, there simply does not exist a perfect network and mobile phone combination. You just have to close your eyes, swipe your credit card, and enjoy your mobile purchase for the next 12 - 24 months, trying, striving not to feel too bad when those new cell phone commercials air.
Here's a link to the speed tests:

Battery updates:
The battery life was great even at day six! Charged it overnight and was good to go until I arrived home.
Charge time example:
09:30 - battery = 15%
10:47 - battery = 50%
12:10 - battery = 100%
Note: the phone was plugged into an AC adapter, and was being used during the charging cycle.
