Anyone getting the Droid X?

---

Im thinking of getting the drod x on july 19th. My contract with tmobile expires on july fourth so ill probably sell the nexus for it. What do you guys think? Is it a major upgrade? It has 4.3 inch screen and seems better than the evo.

I say go for it. Don't see why not.. your contract expires.. seems pretty perfect.

Phone looks great but think that CDMA is outdated. No data and voice at the same time. Useless phone if you travel to Europe....

no voice+data= no sale

having people who call getting dumped to voicemail because I'm using data is not cool

besides I'm personally not ready to go back to a carrier device

If your browsing the web and someone calls, they get forwarded to voicemail?!

Ofcourse not. He just meant that you can't check movie times or what not while you're on a call. I guess in theory it's nice to do both but to be fair I never have found myself in a situation where I am so bored with someones phone conversation that I just start surfing the web mid-call. Ok....maybe once.


The real CDMA deal breaker for me is traveling abroad.

I also hate Moto since they locked the bootloader of the Milestone.
I would wait and see how the rooting/custom rom effort comes along.

The droid has great community, just make sure Moto doesn't follow up on their bad habbits!

What about tethering?I believe this might be what he was referring to...

A HSDPA version of the Droid X would be nice, like the Milestone, but ONLY if they leave the boot loader unlockable this time. CDMA is effectively dead in Canada now with only legacy contracts still using the old networks.

It seems like Motorola uses good components in their phones and their build quality is very good, but I don't care for their tacked on UI and would only get the phone if I knew it was possible to load something like CyanogenMod on it. The Nexus One has spoiled me.

I'm constantly intrigued by the design of the Droid and now the Droid X and Droid 2, but I just can't stomach a contract and the outrageous Verizon plans. I'll stick with my Nexus and cheap T-mo data for now.
