While we’re all eyes on Verizon for the release of Motorola’s new LTE smartphone, the Droid Bionic, it seems that the device might also be headed to competing carrier AT&T. Before AT&T subscribers get too excited though, know that neither AT&T nor Motorola announced anything.

It was a screenshot acquired by Intomobile that led to deductions regarding the Droid Bionic‘s future availability on AT&T. As you can see on the image below, Motorola’s custom UI Motoblur is listed for model MB865. AT&T begins its model names with MB (while one of Verizon’s common letter combinations is “XT”), so it’s really the numbers 865 that matter – and model XT865 on Verizon is the Droid Bionic.

If the Droid Bionic would indeed be available on AT&T, it would be devoid of LTE connectivity, so AT&T would have to compensate some other way to entice consumers. Either that or sell the handset cheaper, as an LTE-capable device never comes cheap.
