Are you planning to use it to tether?
I,m about two weeks away from ordering a Droid2 and that is high on my list of features.
Not really, I'll be getting the X. It could tether if I want however.
You're gonna love the X. I am astounded by it every day, but it is my first smart phone.

One problem I have is that it either doesn't have or I can't find a zoom when shooting video.

I'm pretty sure I remember reading somewhere that it shoots HD, but no zoom.

Also, it's a buy one get one free phone right now, but it also says, buy one and get up to four free too. I think we're all getting one.

Sunday I picked up the Samsung Epic 4G.

It's been pretty epic thus far.

Only problem is the 4G network is still pretty limited at this point.

I'll be hopping on the 4g in two years. It's brand new, and I'm not convinced that LTE is going to have a seamless release. Plus, hopefully the Iphone is out by then.

Halloween and Xmas themed boards.

Xmas appears to only release one screen for each day of December leading up to Christmas.

I've gotten through about 20 Halloween screens so far.

Anyone get all of the golden eggs? I think I have all of them except the ones you get for getting three stars on all of the levels.

I have not. My IT department co-worker asks me almost daily if he can do it for me. No thanks. :scared:

He has a Nexus One, the Google phone that was recently discontinued in this country. He rooted it, has open (free) tethering, and basically the same specs as the Droid X (minus the big screen). It's sweet if you can get your hands on one.

I'll be getting LauncherProPlus the day I get my x, and from there, with the Froyo update it should do all I want it to do. However, I'm sure later down the line, I'll be rooting it and getting new ROMS for it.

My Crackberry Curve died over the weekend, and my wife's Curve has had a broken trackball for about 5-6 weeks. So we bit the bullet and upgraded to Droid Xs. Decided to go against waiting for the 4G/LTE phones, mostly because we needed phones immediately, but also because we don't think we need the extra bandwidth at this time (although I do plan on getting a 4G Xoom tablet this year), and we don't do enough travel outside the U.S. to need the portability.

So far, I'm loving it. Trying out different browsers and apps, getting the thing set up to my liking.

Droid is like the cool anti-hero to the polished white Iphone. Usually it's the other way around.

I have problems checking in to places on Facebook with the droid X. I have my GPS turned on and it still won't work. Is it the droid or the facebook app? Is anyone else experiencing this issue?
