What phone are you dumping for the droid x? - Droid X General

I currently have the droid incredible, but have a lot of problems with it. Verizon said I'll be able to get my phone replaced with the droid x. What phone are you switching from?

The Motorola rival. ...Droid x was the only phone which made me go crazy about android LOL

A crappy Blackberry Curve 8520 (the Edge-only one) on AT&T with no data plan.

I saw this the x on a few different webpages and I sent my Incredible back next day. The only thing I will miss is that beautiful AMOLED screen.

What problems are you having with your Incredible? I had mine for 18 days and didn't seem to run into anything

I only had my EVO for two weeks. I had to return it due to this screen
It's still up in the air as to the Droid X or a Samsung Galaxy. I'll probably go with the Droid X as a vote of confidence to the devs.

I'm leaving my Samsung Omnia i910
It was my first smart phone and I'll be a little sorry to see it go
You never forget your first!

when I plug it into my car's aux line it starts voice dialing, or skips tracks in all my music players. And when it's in the car dock the screen doesn't respond.
This is a replacement incredible. It's a brand new phone, and I had the same problems with both phones, but this replacement's screen is worse in the car dock.
I listen to my music thru my phone in the car every day, so this is very frustrating.

You left BB and WinMo off as groups. Bet a lot of people coming from them as well. Specifically I am converting from WinMo that's not a TP.

I am leaving my Tp2 for the Droid X. I went from Motorola Q9c to Samsung Omnia to Tp2, so this will be my first android phone and i am super excited.

Forgot to mention that before the evo I had an iPhone 3G. I left it for android. More specificly for a huge screen.

I am dumping my 'wonderful' Samsung gleem. Thursday can't come soon enough!

Same here. My contract is up on the 27th so I'll have a couple weeks to hear people's reviews and hear for any announcements on something better (come on Scorpio!)

I'm dumping the Incredible. Nice phone, I love it to death, but I'm seeing the larger screen and longer battery life coming in handy. I was a WinMo convert.

Phones that I currently own and will be dumping
Nexus One
G1
Droid - Keeping
Evo - used for two weeks and then returned
Previously owned:
Mytouch 3G
HD2
GSM Hero
Sprint Hero
Cliq XT

Leavin behind the good old Omnia i910 lol.

nice! make that two tallys for the omnia i910!
btw.. pepperonikiller.. i am using your rom haha

I will be gladly ditching my Eris.

Verizon Droid Eris?

Does anyone have one or is it mainly the sprint hero being used here?
I have one and I love it so far.
It will probably mainly be Sprint for a bit since we've had the Hero a while longer but I'm sure more Eris folks will start showing up (Just as there are a few Cell South users around too).
They might all be hovering around their respective "root status" threads.

Yeah I have one and i absolutely love it. I have had the following android phones and I think the Eris is the best... MyTouch 3G, Motorola Cliq, and now the Droid Eris.
love it
hey i got a Moto DROID on release day and ended up returning it a little over a week ago for the Eris.... I miss 2.0 and the the DROID had a little more speed, as well as the flash, and gps nav..... but i wouldnt trade my Eris for a thing....
I love my Eris, loved my G1, and was ehh with the MyTouch3G. The Eris has the best UI but the G1 was great for modding anything on the phone except the carrier (T-Mobile sucks).

I think once we get more familiar with the cdma bits you'll see the hero/eris reach a similar .level of customizability.
I totally agree. Once this phone is rooted it will beat all the other phones I have owned. I do miss Tue physical keyboard but not going to cry over it.
i got one and love it
Best new phone experience yet for a smartphone and just keeps getting better and better.

Use upgrade on Aria or Tilt2?

Captivate is too expensive. Is the Aria a faster device than the Tilt2? Is Windows Mobile 6.5 in it's twilight and is it time to move to Android? I'm just concerned with the Aria's small size.
Just going to put my two cents in . I came from an iphone that presented me problems for the 7 months I had it. I tried the Tilt2 first since I originally came from an old Moto Q, and missed WinMo. My best advice is not to waste your time. Yes the screen is a little bigger, but the phone in general is big, and somewhat bulky in my opinion. I have no doubt that with a lot of tweaking it could have benn and could be a good device, I just think going with an Android device is the way to go. I was somewhat leary about the size of the Aria since I was used to the Iphone now, but let me tell you that you really don't notice it. The Aria uses its real estate to its fullest. I have very big hands, and have no problem at all. All touch screen phones will have missed taps every now and then.
So in my opinion I would definitely use my upgrade for an Aria. You won;t be disappointed.
Strongly agree. Aria will not disappoint. Tilt2 may sorely disappoint.
With android you can keep your customization and freedom to mess around with things and still retain the sleek speedy friendly GUI necessary for a wonderful phone/mobile device experience.
You will like the Aria
coming from the Tilt2 i can say it WILL sorely disappoint. Winmo is such a buggy and laggy OS. even slapping a custom ROM to won't make up for it. trust me..i went through 3 different ROMs, although great, none of them helped with the buggy issue. many of times i wanted to chuck my Tilt 2 out the window. the lastest HTC update for it caused the SMS app to be incredibly buggy and laggy.
go with the Aria..you won't be disappointed.

I agree with this sentiment. My younger brother got a Tilt2 and I installed custom ROMs on it. Although it made it slightly better, it still pretty much sucked.
Only thing you might miss out on is the hw kb. Once you install Swype you won't miss it too much though really. I came from an HTC Touch Pro.
Get the Aria!
Droid Does.
Don't waste your time with a windows mobile phone that will be outdated in a few months. That phone is a good phone but the cost of it on ATT vs t-mobile, sprint and Verizon is ridiculous. Also no 3.5 headphone jack so you will have to use that dumb but expensive to replace break out box on ATT version. Not to mention if your call log an saved texts messages get too long the phone will slow down until you clear them out. Then theres the stylus issue where you cannot dig into the menu more than 4 screens without whipping out the stylus. Again great hardware on Verizon and sprint but horrible software.

o yeah! the touchscreen is a scratch magnet and it's sensitivity...even if you hack it to it's highest in the registry..is still ****ty compared to the quick responsiveness of Aria's. and having to use a stylus for some of the windows onscreen buttons and menu options..RIDICULOUS.
trust us..you'll save yourself a headache and a half.
and just like ALL microsoft/windows products..it slugs down to a crawl after a week of use.

Your sig makes it look like the 8330 is greater than all other phones.
Yeah man the aria owns the tilt 2. I have a tilt 2 and even with all the roms I have run it just blows. heck my fuze was better, and that is saying something.
The aria out of the box is super fast,responsive and easy to use. I am not an aria fanboy, I dont think its the best phone around. I would look at the samsung captivate or the aria if I were you.
use it on the aria. using it on the tilt would be a poor choice.

Second thoughts after ordering Droid X

I've been visiting xda forums as a windows mobile user for years. I just ordered a Droid X last week but now I'm thinking about canceling it and ordering the Fascinate (which I didn't find out about until after ordering).
I think the Droid X fits my needs better at this time but I'm worried that Motorola's efforts against ROM developers will doom the phone. Looking at the visitor counts across xda forums did nothing to help my perception. I know that sounds crazy but ROM updates made my Windows Mobile phones much easier to use, more reliable and greatly extended my use of the phones. An example would be how internet connection sharing became effortless instead of almost impossible.
My roommate has one of the other flavors of the Galaxy S (which is what the Facinate is), and I honestly like the Droid X a bit better. You're basically worried about nothing at all, man. Motorola's efforts have basically proven to be fruitless. The Droid X got rooted like a week after it came out, and we're very close to having a "Vanilla" AOSP 2.2 ROM. At this point we have Recovery and root and Froyo. What more do you really need?
Xda isn't as popular when it comes to Android phones. I am a former Windows user myself. There are other forums that are more popular when it comes to Android, such as androidforums.com and droidxforums.com
Honestly I had the captivate (same thing but for att) but I wasnt a huge fan of the phone. It feels kind of cheap compared to the x. Also, it scratched easier. That, and it is noticeably slower (for me at least). The only thing I did like was the screen. The amoled is gorgeous.
Sent from my DROIDX using XDA App
Thanks for responses. I agree the Captivate seems less well built. The reason I went with the Droid X is my hope to avoid some of the problems I've had with HTC phones the last 6 years. I was fine until I broke something, after that I was in Assurion hell with refurbs that all had issues.
It's reassuring to know that there will be ROMs. As long as there is at least one it should future proof the phone.
The GPS issue with the Galaxy S phones does not seem to be resolved whereas the Droid X is apparently one of the best GPS phones ever.
The more colorful screen and faster 3D performance doesn't mean that much to me given the Droid X's performance out of the box.
I only burned ROMs on my HTC phones to solve major problems caused by carrier bloatware, pointless restrictions and failure to update. I guess the issue I'm worried about is Motorola/Verizon failing to update to a new version of Android sometime in the next 2 years.

Well that should be the least of your worries when discussing the X or any future Moto devices running Android. I also know for certain they are already working on Andorid 3.0 for certain devices already. Part of the problem the mfgs and carriers are having is that Google keeps pushing Android out so quickly they can't keep up with updating all current devices to the new OS's let alone work on and designing new devices with the most current OS. I mean think about Google has had 3 major updates (2.0,2.1, currently 2.2) to Android in less then a yrs time, and they are working on the 4th (3.0) already. It's no wonder the carriers and mfgs can't keep everything up to date for all devices.
Anywhoo as mentioned already with the X having Root access, and custom ROMS in the works personally I wouldn't be to concerned at all.
Thanks for the supportive posts, because the Android modification world is new to me it wasn't clear to me that ROM developers were working with the Droid X. I read all the posts in the developer section here and understand that people are already running alternative ROMs.
I went over to the GPS threads regarding the Samsung and that was enough to convince me to stay with the Droid X. I'm careful when picking out new phones as I try to stay with them for 2 years.
Anyway, my Droid X (ordered on the 22rd) is on its way.

Good to hear and welcome to the Android community, hopefully you will enjoy the fun moving forward. I'm running a fully modified ROM myself already also and it is much nicer then the ROM that was sent out on the device that is for sure.
I've gotta say give you credit tho. To keep a device for 2 yrs is a long time this day and age. I'm lucky to make is 6 months and I'm on to something new as I'm bored of the old device by then. I've enjoy the Droid long enough and currently using the X for now, just waiting for the D2 to show up so I have something else to mess with and swap back and forth between. Once it shows I guess it will be time to let the Droid go as it had a good run in my book. Peace
Making it 2 years on the same device takes discipline and with my latest phone it may have been counter productive. The Touch Pro's screen is 2.7 inch and the only browsing I did on it was Opera Mini with bookmarked sites that happen to display well on the tiny screen. If you go out 2 years they usually have stopped production so the refurbs are old themselves. The last few Assurion Touch Pro refurbs all developed an oily patch on the screen after a few months. Good riddance to the Touch Pro although it was a big improvement over the XV6700. Verizon has lowered the impetus for holding on for 2 years now that the every 2 is only $50. I think the TP was the last phone I'll keep that long.
i can tell you from experience, sometimes my vibrant's GPS doesn't work AT ALL and i really do miss the camera flash that i have on my droid x....not so much for the camera but i use it all the time as a flashlight, really handy feature. of course that will be a moot point with the fascinate as it will have the led flash.....it's a tough choice, i do like both phones though i rarely use my vibrant, mainly because i have NO tmobile 3g where i now live.
I've now had the DX for 4 days. Absolutely love it. I installed both Logmein Ignition and Xtralogic Remote Desktop. Today a customer needed help, no need to pull out my netbook and tether, just went right to her desktop and fixed the problem right on the DX. I rooted and renamed the crapware apps to .bak, installed what I think will be most of the apps I'll be using. This phone took me 1/10th the time it took to get a Windows Mobile phone to do what I needed. One thing I'm appreciating is the better build quality of the Motorola vs the HTC's I've been using the past 6 years. So far there really is nothing negative for me about the phone. That's a first after years of tussling with Windows Mobile and Treos.
Good to hear that you are enjoying your X with no issues.
I got a Fascinate on launch day last Thursday, but I am planning to return it tomorrow and order an X. I will reactivate my Droid 1 while I wait for the X. I will miss the 4" SAMOLED screen on the Fascinate for sure, but I'm sure I will like the X too.
I had similar thoughts when I ordered my X but all doubts were whipped away once it got here, Im not even rooted yet and I already love this phone my only complaints have been how short the freaking charging cable is. also I've been less than impressed with the camera but I think that can be tweaked.

My last 2 phones were a HTC Kaiser and a Touch Pro 2. With both I felt I had never would need another phone.
Well, more and more things were coming to Android only, a lot of apps (Facebook, maps, google's native things) look and work a whole lot better on android, so I thought to switch. I drooled over having 720p HD video.
I wanted to stick with a qwerty.
These all made me want a Desire Z.
...and Santa brought me one... ))
I chosed da g2 after droping my mt3G on the toilet. At first I wanted the vibrant but after reading and seen pics of the g2 it was a perfect match this phone has everythig I hoped for and more rooted about 5 minutes after getting it lol

I swear, for a minute I thought your reply was my reply.
Just like you, I went form a kaiser to the TP2 and now the Desire Z. Just like you, I thought my previous phones were the mother of all inventions and I wouldnt need another phone in my lifetime . I would have upgraded in November but I thought I would just hold on to the TP2 until the middle of this year but the dreaded newton rings appeared on the TP2 last week (2nd time in 6months) so I was 'forced' to upgrade. I also must have a physical keyboard but I flirted with the Desire HD and Nexus S. The DHD was just too big and the NS didnt have a keyboard. Despite all the noise about the hinge, I bit the bullet and got the Desire Z and I thank gooness I did. Absolutely no regrets. My TP2 now feels like an early 90s phone.
Just in case anyone is interested, my TP2 with a brand new screen and absolutely no scratches + all accessories and an 8GB microSD card is up for sale @ £150.

I have to admit I use the qwerty keyboard less frequently on the DZ.
Reason one: it's good to type with touch input, it even support X9 in Hungarian (while the qwerty supports English only) so it completes a lot of words right.
Reason two: I donno if this is a question of getting used to it or not, but the keyboard is a lot worse than on the TP2. I wouldn't dis it, neither the hinge, cause it's not a problem either. It's just more awkward typing on it, plus special chars in hungarian work different than previously on the TP2.
I do not regret the TP2. There are soooo many advantages of the DZ and Android they make me forget the front camera, too.
It was the only decent device my carrier offered other than the SGS which suffered the all too well known corrupted SD due to samsung failure.
I was never too crazy about the keyboard, but have grown to like and use it.
I do miss the SA screen, screen dimensions, and the device dimensions, - but the usability added by sense is amazing. Plus the DZ seems to be much faster and more stable to me based purely on my own usage.
I've gone through so many phones and the g2 impressed me so much that I had to get it. And the fact that it was one of the first phone compatible with hspa.

I'm coming from the touch pro 2. I was looking to stick with the physical keyboard and it takes a while to get to the one on the g2. I wanted a phone to have wifi calling since I do not get any service in some of my classes at college. Android apps are no iphone apps but they work. Windows mobile is highly customizable and I like being able to have the option to do so on the G2 if ever needed. I will hold on to my G2 for as long as I can or till a dual core, physical qwerty, windows phone 7 with a 4+ screen hits T-Mobile. Well a better one than the dell venue pro.

I got the G2 because I went from a Sony Ericsson as my 1st phone, Moto Razr as my 2nd, Sidekick 3 as my 3rd, Blackberry Pearl 8120 as my 4th, and G1 as my 5th.
G1 was by far my favorite phone, with the Pearl being in 2nd. I fell in love with Android, then I learned about rooting, and that was a wrap. Went from a Haykuro 1.5, to a JesusFreke 1.5, then I learned about Cyanogen. Man, oh man, were my eyes opened by the XDA community.
From the G1, the 2nd Android phone for TMO came in the form of the myTouch 3G, and I had to have it, because I had transformed into an Android fanboy. From there, I went to an HD2, for the sole fact that I hoped that Android would be ported over to it, which thankfully, is now a reality!
I switched back and forth between the HD2 and the MT3G for a while, then I stuck with the MT3G, because I wanted the genuine Android experience. I wish I bought the N1 when it first came out, but the money wasn't there, so I had to settle.
When the G2 came knocking at TMO's doorstep and I knew about phone specs now and actually saw what the G2 had, I was very impressed, and having owned its big brother, the G1, it was fate that I had to buy it.
Yes, the G2 may have some flaws like the loose hinge and less than great camera in artificial/low light conditions, but I still love this phone and would not want to trade it for an HD7, MT4G, a Galaxy S phone, or anything else offered by TMO right now.
I love this phone and I would not change my decision of purchasing it if I had the opportunity to do it all over again.
Oh, and the fact that it is the first HSPA+ phone for T-Mobile, which there is 4G in my area also is a great perk!
simple, Cyanogen has it!

That was a selling point for sure!! I started with a Samsung Moment and then A Vibrant. I changed roms like twice a day trying to find "The one". It was kinda like internet dating, lol. I had to replace one of my Vibrants and while I was waiting for the replacement they had the G2 for $0 on black Monday. The rest is history, rooted and CM6. Physically its a beautiful phone imo, though it is protected and covered with an Otterbox. Only gripe is the hinge deal, but I swype 99.9% of the time. Its just a solid phone with awesome support, yeah Cyanogen has one. I'm waiting on something Tegra 2 based to hit TMO before I get another.
I had an original MyTouch 3G, it was slow as molasses on froyo, didn't have a keyboard, and didn't have a 3.5mm jack
the G2 is the only phone released in the last 6 months that fixes these problems. Adding in the 1.7GHz(!) overclock and solid cyanogenmod support made it even better
cyanogenmod .
ahah. I bought it before I knew cyanogenmod had it.
I had the G1, and loved it. Too bad i had to return it cuz ma dad was on my ass for always being on it. what do you except? its android!
So I heard the G2 was coming out and I almost shyt my pants.
its a sexy phone. i dont mind the hinges... one thing that sucks is no front facing camera... but o well.. maybe the G3 will own?
Got a G1 shortly after launch. Tmo upgrade came along not too long ago and so did the follow up phone... the G2. Physical keyboard is a must have for me.
I can't stand a touch screen keyboard.
The new network is also a nice perk.
Let's see.....After putting almost 50 windows roms on my HD2 and of course some Android builds. I realized the phone was getting boring by the day. I missed having a physical keyboard...better apps of course, faster speeds,and better battery life.

I wanted a good phone (better than my old omnia) with a working keyboard for which i would not pay much.
I could get a motorola flipout (found it was a poor phone), an xperia x10 mini pro (it would have been good, provided the battery was not that fast empty and unremovable), or some blackberrys with small screens. I would have had to pay more than 400$ for every interesting phone with a nice screen and a keyboard.
Then, virgin mobile made a flash offer on the desire Z. I had to pay around 80$, which was nice, and a sub 40$/month service including unlimited-yet-not-that-much-unlimited internet, unlimited texts and 2hrs/month .
So i got it. Quite impressed by it actually, worth more than what i actually thought, especially now that i know debian can be installed on it
i am new to android, i had an omnia before. The improvement in feeling is huge, but i feel quite concerned about new phones. With windows phone 6.1 i could do what i wanted on it, no need to hack around to install apps that require some special hardware access or root access and so on. I did not have to install a file browser either...
I just hope phone OS designers would stop trying to limit phone usage. Anyway they currently have not succeeded, so thats fine

I used to be a hard core crackberry user. My first android was the MT3G- loved it, but just couldn't get used to the touchscreen keyboard while also using a BB. (didn't care much for the iphone- my 5 year old uses it now)
When the HD2 came out, I'm glad I got it asap! The hardware was what made me want it badly.. The screen size was perfect for the onscreen kb, and it was even better when we could run android.. but I got sick of being annoyed on a daily basis. And I suffered from keyboard envy.
I was going to hold out on upgrading until Spring, as I usually did, and had been following the G2 forums since the release. Early December TMo offered me BOGO if we switched back to a contract... I couldn't refuse, and a sexy G2 arrived days later.
I love it. I was concerned with giving up screen real estate, but that quickly passed. My only issue is signal strength- I only get G where I live but forced into an unlimited 4G plan though I'm always on wifi, and the "partner service" doesn't seem to work. No faults of the G2- TMo needs to get their services straight.

You are not alone. The last 6 months for me has included:
iPhone 3GS - Backflip - Blackberry Bold - iPhone 3GS - Nexus One - HTC Legend - iPhone 4 - Nexus One - iPhone 4 - Inspire 4G - Atrix 4G
Needless to say, my fiancée is going to kill me one of these days...

Cars? Yes. I have owned almost 20 different vehicles in the last ten years.
Clothes? No. I still have some clothes that were "cool" in the 90's.
I've been saying those other phones dont come close for a while. The Captivate is garbage with it's broken GPS and laggy file sytem and Samsungs poor support. I returned mine after 2 weeks. The Inspire is nice but it's an old design with god awfull battery life. The Atrix is the best phone you can buy right now.

Oh dont get me started about the last 6 months. Add in the Aria, iphone 4, HD2 modified to run anything, blackberrys and a host of others.
im stil wandering around with all 3 devices in my bag. Inspire has Sense which is the best email and contacts software. Captivate.. I love the screen and the camera and video and audio apps are fantastic. Atrix becuase its a generation ahead of those 2 devices and has the best battery life. Im going crazy from it. Dont get me started on what I am going to do when that 4.5 inch screen Samsung hits.
One thing I like about the Atrix is that I CANNOT change the ROM. saves me HOURS of wasted time and allows me to go to sleep before 3am. I am a device and ROM junkie.

Sleep? What's that?
I have an update available and I'm debating between the Inspire and Atrix. I want to load custom Roms and have control over my phone when I have it. But also would like the FF camera and HDMI output. What do you guys suggest?
Nexus One to Atrix?????
Hi, I have a Nexus One, Rooted, Modded, Changed, altered!, well you get the point. I'm considering getting the Atrix. Opinions?

Honestly? I would wait for a Bell/Rogers/Telus Nexus S if you plan on being on AT&T. I will probably end up picking one up when it gets released.

The atrix look promising BUT The dock (ALL of them) require a Tether plan, soo that the fisrt thing to change. There is no ROM or bootloader aviable yet. I'm very interested on it for the same features you mention. The GPS is the best GPS that I have tested. I have a Nexus One, soo i'm in doubt.

Sorry, didn't realize at first you wanted to use your upgrade. Well, you can probably wait a couple months to see what else will be out this year. AT&T is planning on releasing like a dozen Android phones this year.

Not yet, they don't want to take away any thunder from the recent releases but I hope AT&T finally decides to come out with a HIGH-END Android slider this year.
iPhone3gs - Xperia X10 - iPhone4 -HTC HD2 - Inspire 4g - iPhone4 - Atrix
That is the last 3 months or so.
Evo to iPhone 4 to captivate to focus to captivate to iPhone to captivate to nexus s to sell venue pro to nexus s to Atrix to iPhone to Atrix to iPhone. Lol. Last 6 months.

I came to the Atrix from a rooted, modded, changed, altered Nexus One No regrets here. Honestly, I flashed a lot of ROMs with my N1 and if I never get to flash a full, true ROM with this phone, I don't care. I like it so much more than my Nexus. The screen (I can see the Atrix in the sunlight!), the size of the screen, the speed, touch sensitivity, etc. Plus I live in a strong AT&T area and do not have problems like some do.
I would like HSUPA enabled, but from what is floating around here, AT&T is supposed to be "turning on" HSUPA at some point.
