This phone is awful. The only reason I have it is because I had the original x and it broke and they replaced it with this. Fuck android, I can't wait for the iphone 5.
why are people so mean.....well i thought arron did a great review and so do all the other phonedog people....arron keep doin what your doin and thanks for another great review
wow i hate how they tlk about the phone i just used this phone like 2 minutes ago there are no pixels anywhere on that screen and the camera is awesome
There ARE animations on all the screen effects tilt ect. GO to display and turn on the animations. simple there are lots of them. You also forgot there are 21 home screens. when you go into settings from your home screen and select profiles. theres presonal weekend and work. so tech theres 21. hope this helps. the animations are nice and he never noticed them. if you have and X2 try it out.
@caspianlover1 I would always say get an android phone but i think the iphone 4 because of the build quality, design and Retina Display. If your on verizon wireless get the Samsung Droid Charge (Touchwiz 3.0 is similar to ios) or HTC Thunderbolt. but better still wait for the Droid Bionic.
@MrZacyoung i have the droid x2 and i love it. Best smartphone ive had. If you think you would use the keyboard go with the droid 3. If not, the droid x2 has a larger screen and is nice for web browsing and watching videos. Hope this helped!
@MrZacyoung personally i would go with the droid 3, but because of the awesome keyboard! its is so much more reliable than just a touch screen keyboard and it makes for faster typing. thats really all i care about. but the only bad thing is that it only has 3g not 4g...
I honestly think, 4G is a waste. UNTIL, it is more wide spread around the country. All my friends keep saying," Man, you gotta get 4G." I don't get it. 3G is wonderful. People are being way too greedy. "Oh I have to have the new thing, everytime." It's all BS.
@FUTUREsniper13 believe it or not, there is a difference. i had a samsung galaxy s 4g on tmobile as my very first smart phone. i had it for 5 months. 3 days ago it was replaced by the sony xperia play which is 3g, and tmobiles 4g is VERY much faster than verizons 3g. verizons 3g speed agrivates me. maybe its just the xperia play, but its slow.
@phonedog: why do u keep saying that there is a lag in the keyboard? u make mistakes because u tapped wrong keys. ... had it been that laggy it would have been so easily visible... u should use the device for some period to get a feel for it ...next time kindly describe where exactly does the keyboard lag
I don't really want any 4g oohone this looks good. Considering I'm not in coverage. And all the batteries are to small in any of the phones 4g phones.
i dont see a huge difference in performance from a single core to a dual core....God for bid i had to wait an extra half second for a webpage to come up.
HELP! For some reason one day my Droid X restarts and half of the apps I have downloaded and installed have uninstalled. I have no idea why this happened and when I go to the android market, it doesnt let me download anything. When i use the Amazon app store, it lets me buy apps but it wont install them. I seriously need help and ill take answers from anyone. Please HELP.
BTW: If you like the new blur theme you can get it [and other nice new ones] here: goo. gl/yE8a6 (if you're running CM7, just an apk for the theme chooser). And don't forget to delete the space in the URL, Youtube doesn't let me post it correctly ):
@Xander3789 The gingerbread test build has already been leaked for the incredible, And from what i've read HTC said by the end of june. So i would say probably within the next three weeks or so.
@cowkong Of course. But I meant it in the sense that would there be more of an emphasis on cores or on speed. You gotta admit, lopking at the PC market, we did slow down a bit on the speed but just increased cores for most, not to mention improvements in components (eg cache).
@kyrumo agreed, front facing camera is something I wanted and should be almost standard now. no 4g also sucks but isn't as big of a deal for at least another 6 months to a year
awesome phone but MAYNE,verizon KILLS me with them monthly costs! 223.00 per month for 2 phones??...smh. im bout to get that #boostmobile ! 50.00 per mth unlimited!
@jkingmuzik my phone has it though its not a smartphone,android phone just a regular mobile phone samsung wave 525 it contains Yahoo Messenger and Palringo i think
@greenscreeningthings As long as you like it that's all that matters. As for myself i'm over android . Which is why i'm switching to the iphone 4 in november. I'm a droid owner at the moment but also own the ipad and the ipod touch 4th gen. For what i do, iOS is a better fit for me.
Aaron- a suggestion- you should be more harsh with your reviews. Pick a few different prices ranges for phones and find the best one at that price and if other phones at the same price aren't as good, they should be considered subpar. We also need to get rid of the tradeoff notion- you shouldn't have to have either fast pinch to zoom or checkerboarding- especially on the dual core phones. Lag should not be acceptable over the $50 range. Just a suggestion...
Got this phone its us awesome the camera and video and visual display the camera button really isn't a big thing
