So, my thoughts on the Droid X.
Never owning a true smart phone before, this has been a real experience for me so far. I really had to think about if I even needed one. After thinking about what I wanted a phone to do and what the main competition had, I felt like the new Droid X was the way to go for me. It's sort of easy to say "I'll just get and iPhone." but I wanted something different.
I've played with plenty of iPhones. It's very good. And I don't really have a bad thing to say about it. I simply like the Android OS better. Maybe it's because I will never buy an Apple computer and I'm a bit biased. I don't know.
The DX had a bit of a learning curve for me. I'm very much the "Push this buttons to see what happens." type. This worked pretty well for me. I didn't really look at the book to see how things worked. I'm going to look anyway. I'm sure there are a few things I'm not seeing or simply don't know about.
Everything is customizable. Within a half hour, I had all my icons and shortcuts where I wanted them. The resizing of widgets is also a very nice feature.
It's extremely fast. Loading apps, going from screen to screen, etc. It's pure lighting.
Making a few calls, it's extremely clear and the people I called said I sound much clearer than with my last phone.
The screen is fantastic. I was a bit afraid of getting it due to the sheer size of the thing. But after a while of using it, I really don't notice it. Plus, with Vcast and Youtube, it's awesome.
The camera takes some great photos. I do notice if it's lower light pics, the quality goes down. But, in normal light or day shots, it's really sharp.
Overall, I'm not going to say it's better than the iPhone 4. But, I will say they are on equal ground.
