What I was reading looked like anything from 3-6 months, but someone may have a bit more accurate timeline.

It's supposed to be Q2, but that's about as accurate as it gets.

Closer and closer to the Thunderbolt release date every day.

Late May/early June is my guess.

really don't understand why there's such a gab between the bionic and the atrix

(1) AT&T paid for limited exclusivity
(2) AT&T is using HSPA+, which is part of the same modem. Verizon is using LTE, which is a whole different setup and requires more circuitry (SIM and, I think, a separate chip).

Because of (2), expect most Verizon "4G" phones to be bigger and later than their AT&T counterparts for a while. (Bionic v. Atrix, Stealth v. Infuse, etc.)
