i have a r800x (all i've done is root and then removed all bloatware i can find, and running adw launcher pro)

my wife has a droid x2 (also rooted and most of the bloatware is removed)

now she is coming up to her upgrade, i'm trying to decide if i want the larger screen and dual cores (no way to unlock bootloader, but one dev is almost got Kexec working) or stick with the xperia play and go with unlocking my bootloader so i can run cm9 (that is until cm10 gets more polished)

so you guys with verizon play, how is cm9 (other cm9 based roms) i see camera works fine now and touchpad support (not that worried if all my games work right) is it smooth enough for daily use and not get agrevated?

also, it not a deal breaker to have the gamepad, its nice, but i find i don't use it as much as i thought i would, but i still like the form factor of the phone, just getting opinions i guess on how you guys with unlocked bootloaders on verizon like your phone

My first two android phones were Moto and I will never again in a bajillion years ever touch their stuff again. I came from a Motorola Droid, Droid 2 Global, Samsung Captivate and now the Xperia PLAY. Hands down this phone is my favorite bar none...... the Droid X2 did not do too well. In all honesty I would stick with the Xperia PLAY and sell the Droid X2 while it can still be sold for some cash....just my opinion if it were me in your shoes.

I once owned a Droid X2, and sold it off.
Not really worth it. Your choice in ROMs is much better with the Play, and is a Mich better phone than the X2.

thanks guys, i follow both of your guys post on here due to you seem to be a lot like me (at least as much as i can tell from the way you type)

i still like the play a lot, and from what i can tell the battery life is still much better than the x2. i'm thinking if i just unlock the play, get an overclocking kernel (cm9/10) and good governor, then i'll probably be golden.

which kernels do you guys run?

I run FXP Turbo on CM9. It is a great kernel if you are looking for performance and stability, and seems like it will be frequent updated.
