Verizon to launch DROID Bionic on September 8th?

A new Verizon teaser ad posted on its official YouTube channel suggests that the carrier is close to launching the DROID Bionic, likely its first dual-core LTE handset. The video closes with the date “2011.9.8,” suggesting it could hit stores on September 8th.

It’s not the first time that a September 8th launch is mentioned. The same date surfaced last month along with suggestions that the Bionic could sell for US$299 with a two-year contract.

The DROID Bionic was first announced at CES 2011 but has faced multiple delays since then.
