From what I was told they plan on putting a tower on top of the CEC not sure when though. I am sure some of us will know when they do based on a boost on the live video streams.

i canceled the order on my fascinate, but after research, i re-ordered it. so far i'm really happy with it, but am struggling mightily with the hard case i bought and already ruined the 6 dollar screen protector. in trying to get the hard case off, i almost destroyed the phone and was ready to punch a hole in the wall. do other people have this much trouble with these items?

I took my cover off b/c its slip resistant surface really made it tough to get out of my pocket.

Has the full version been released yet, or is it still just the Lite? I loved the beta, but the full version wasn't out yet for Droid.

I'm paying the monthly $30 fee to use the Blackberry, do I need to do the same or more for the Droid X?

Data fee is the same for the X. There is a $45 plan but isn't necessary for most people, even to get work mail.

Love Pandora so far.

Finally figured out connecting the bluetooth headset.

ScanLife is interesting can't wait for a practical usage of it.

BIG learning curve for me on this phone.

They just finished porting the full game. A 'lite' version has been available for some time.

Just starting playing Angry Birds tonight and played until the battery died.

Think I finished the 21 levels on the first section and got about 4 levels into the second section.

Had to do a factory reset to get the Market back. Had to set ringtones and redownload apps, but now all appears to be good.

Just goot back from australia. Which means my droid has service for the first time in 5 months. After I got over updating each app, I realized that I still don't have 2.2 ...I checked for system updates and no dice, how do I get it?

Isn't Gingerbread (2.3?) coming out soon? You might want to wait for that. I got my Droid X the day Verizon made 2.2 available to its users, so I never got to see 2.1.
