Got my Droid X today!!

My Tracfone Pre-Pay cell phone makes your turd-powered Droid phones look a pile of elephant dung on a rainy day!
My bad, I thought the Droid X had a slide-out keyboard like the first Droid. Guess not?
Yes I have an S1 but it is a touchscreen....was talking about the droid when I mentioned flip out keyboard (meant to say slide out lol)
Now that I know there is no physical keyboard on the Droid X, I am leaning more towards the X then the incredible for a new phone. I will wait a bit though until they get the bugs worked out

Derek
thanks mang! so basically, they are damn near equals, lol.
I keep hearing about "Froyo". What exactly is it? I am going to do a Google search, but for the immediate benefit of those interested in knowing what it is could you post a quick answer? And how will Froyo benefit me as an Incredible user? Thanks.
EDIT: Ah, just learned it is the code name for Android 2.2.

Pretty much. The only real difference is that the X will get software upgrades MUCH faster than the other two because it runs Vanilla Android instead of HTC Sense, but some people like the Sense UI enough to put up with that, it's a to each their own type of deal.
Loren, I'm glad there are Android phones available with and without Sense. I've only used Androids with Sense, so I'm hooked. I love it. Wife does, too. I totally agree that updates to the OS come quicker without Sense because it takes Google more time to blend it in.
So does anyone know when the 2.2 update hits the original Droid? Sorry if I missed it somewhere else in the thread.
As do I, next time I probably will try a Vanilla phone though. :beer:
Soon. It is next on the list after the Nexus One and that was just officially released 2 weeks or so ago. There are already leaked versions out there though that might not be your style.
Sense is HTC's custom user interface and Blur is Motorola's. Sense has been around a lot longer and is leaps and bounds more smoothly integrated and useful.
I was never much a fan of blur but i think they have refined it, as long as my droid gets the 2.2 update ill be happy, already got hd dolphin browser in anticipation.
Ive got two room mates with those apple phone things and they dont like that mine does and theirs dont.
So how many of yall will contribute to crashing verizons network when 2.2 with flash comes and porn becomes available?
I'm really thinking about ditching my 3GS to get into a droid.....but I don't want anything bigger!
Check out the Incredible. It's about the same size with a bigger screen, 3.7". I agree with you, the X looks nice, but it's friggin huge, same with the EVO.
I'm curious how Moto-blur is on the Droid X. I've never heard a good thing about it.
if i'm not mistaken the evo and incredible are not scheduled 2.2 updates till near the end of the year. of course unless your root'd then it should be sooner if not already. I'm really excited for the droid x i'm not sure if I want to switch to verizon i'll have to see if I can get a discount and if I like the phone first. I have an hd2 now and its nice but i'm getting tired of the WM I've done the customizing thing to my last 4 WM phones and all pretty much can do the same thing. I thin its time for some android in my life.. haha
