I Have a 3g iphone and can upgrade to a Iphone 4 for $300 but I am seriously fed up with apples restrictions and short comings not to mention at&t's coverage. I'm going to give the new droid x a shot and seitch over to verizon. What do you all think about the driod x? Keep in mind that the extra size is a plus for me as opposed to a minus to some of you smaller folk. I have big mitts

Seems pretty good like the EVO except without the 4G. -
I think you're going to be extremely happy with it. The DroidX will be one of the most capable phones on the planet for some time to come.
You also have the benefit of this phone being based on an existing phone. That means Moto, Verizon, and Google have had time to work the majority of the kinks out of the platform, and really fine tune everything. The droid on it's own is an amazing phone - and the X version is just that much better...Comment

Droid X looks very very good.
I have the Droid and I have never used the slide out keyboard at all. The onscreen keyboard is more than adequate and with Swype installed it's kickass.
I wish I had waited for the Droid X, the only problem I have with the Droid is that it's a brick and a half.The important things are always simple; the simple things are always hard.Comment

It is, the screen is larger than the EVO 4G. It's still pretty thin though.

I am waiting to let them come out and circulate out there on either the iphone 4 or the Droid X. I am ready to pull the trigger once I get a better feel for them.

didn't the evo had a fps problem? the iphone does have video conferencing (iono if that's a plus or not)
i'd wait til the droid 2 comes out and compare the two then make a choice...unless i have my info mixed up...Comment

The iphone video conferencing only works if you're talking to another person with an iPhone 4....
As far as 'droid 2' - I believe this is kind of the Droid v2.
Motorola/Google/&Co seem to be following the iterative design approach.
Instead of infrequent but massive upgrades - they're releasing new products with new features more frequently, with major upgrades occasionally.
Apple releases 1 phone per year. All their efforts go into that one phone. If you buy it in June, and some new technology is developed in August - you have to wait until the following June to see if the new iPhone will have it.
With the approach Motorola is taking - if a new technology is developed, you could potentially see a new phone incorporating that technology in a matter of weeks/months, that's built on a similar platform (android). If that feature set is important enough to you, you have the opportunity to take advantage of it immediately (if you're willing to pay), vs having to wait for incorporation of that technology by Apple (on their time frame).
make sense?
In other words - I wouldn't wait to see what "Droid v2" looks like, because chances are there will be something available to blow it out of the water within weeks. The Droid has been out for 7 months, and it's already not even one of the top 5 phones on the market.Comment

I am looking forward to the Droid -X .Comment

I think I'll give the Droid X a try as long as I can get one before Verizon fubars their data plans. Otherwise I'll see what T-Mobile is offering when my contract expires."Government is the great fiction, through which everybody endeavors to live at the expense of everybody else." --FREDERIC BASTIAT--
