Just got back from the Verizon store and im a little closer to choosing. I like the Droid X's screen, its huge, but thats a draw back in some ways. The Incredible looked good, big enough, but not to big.
I played with a few others in the store too, the salesman said the touch screen take some gettin used to, which i can see. All the touch screens didnt wanna co-operate with me, or maybe i was the difficult one?
Oh, and that Iphone/Evo vid is GREAT!!

Gettin' closer!!!! Only thing to remember about the Droid X is that its Android 2.1 the HTC Incredible is Android 2.2 HUGE differences between the two. 2.2 is known as "Froyo" this update allows you to store apps on your removable memory card (which doesn't sound like a big deal, but it is!) and also allows threaded messaging (pretty cool) and is all around more efficient than 2.1. Trust me, I've had both. My EVO came stock with 2.1 and was upgraded in an update to 2.2. Just some more thoughts for your brain to think about!!!
And STOP worrying about the touch screen!!!! You WILL get used to it!

You really need to be selling these things, the Verizon guy didnt tell me any of this.
But, I would like to discuss the touch screen a bit more
What do you want to discuss? How cool it is? 
What phone do you have now? How much do you actually text now?
For the "trouble" you are going to have learning the touch screen it makes up for itself 10-fold in the way it browses the internet, and the touch screen apps (anything you can imagine as far as games, etc) and the processor speed in the Incredible is lightyears beyond even the newest Blackberries. That 1gz snapdragon processor is the shiznit!!!
Plus, you have what, 30 days to "try" one out?? Get one and put it through the ringer. You just need to remember when texting started out, and you needed to push the 6 button like 52 times to get a certain letter. We all thought, we'd NEVER figure this out. Remember then, how fast you could text that way after a little while. Same thing will be with the touch screen. I was worried too, but after getting it figured out, the benefits well outway the deficits...

Frog, what did Verizon say about the Iphone coming?
Still can't believe its supposed to come out Jan 7th and NOBODY has heard about it? Sprint was advertising the HTC EVO for like 3 months before it actually came out. Verizon should be advertising the living crap out of getting the Iphone if its true. It just doesn't seem right...

I forgot to ask about the Iphone.....

Tapatalk is worth more than the $3 they charge for the App for sure!
P.S. FastFrog, the app is only $2 on Android! Hehehe!! So far its the ONLY app I've paid for. Everything else on my phone has been free apps, so don't worry about that killing your pocketbook.
And ohhhh, the T9 days...

Looks like they completely wipe the apps off the pre-owned. Prolly for security. The aps that are missing (facebook, twitter, etc) are easily downloaded at the "marketplace"
I would have to believe the hot spot "no" is a typo. Thats part of the software...

Well here we go.....i do know phones probably better then anything else i know
The bb are junk. They arent even in the same league as any droid period. They do not have flash and will never get it. Droid on the other hand does have it. No here is the catch....you have to have the 2.2 froyo to have it though. It is not compatible with 2.1. Just so you know the droid x is rootable and you can put froyo on it with no problem. Also the droid x will be getting froyo soon from a google ota. This will happen automatically and is already happening Most dont know this yet. If you have the capabilities get the droid inc. It is the top of the line for now...and after a month with it you will wonder how you ever had anything else.
I myself sport a droid 1 rooted over clocked at 1.250 gig. It will smoke circles around any phone out there especially a bb or an icrapper. PS the newest operating system for droid isnt froyo 2.2. Its actually called gingerbread 3.0. It is out and in the testing stages already....

Viper, I know about gingerbread, and I'm excited for its official release. That being said, if Frog was to get the HTC phone over the Motorola, he will see that official release sooner OTA. HTC seems to get the Android updates sooner than most. I think there is some relationship there.
Also, no disrespect to FastFrog, but he is not the user that will ROOT. I would consider myself a "techy" and LOVE to tinker with my phone and try stuff out. I however STILL haven't rooted my EVO. I don't think it needs it. It's 1gz processor is fast enough, and I love how smooth the HTC SENSE software works. No reason to ROOT. I'm not looking to use the wireless hotspot utility or anything. First things first, my phone is just that. A phone. I'm not going to mess that part of it up.
I understand why people root, don't get me wrong. I just don't think its for everyone, and we shouldn't recommend phones to people that need to be rooted to become "useable" and fast.
Know what I mean?

We've already known that Adobe would be bringing Flash Player 10.1 to Windows Phone 7, but the company has just now made that fully official at its currently-happening MAX conference (alongside its Air 2.5 announcement), and it's also confirmed exactly which other mobile platforms the plug-in will be headed to. That includes WebOS 2.0, which we've already seen first hand, along with BlackBerry OS, Symbian, MeeGo and, last but not least, the LiMo platform -- those will all of course join Android 2.2, which already supports the plug-in. Hmm ???
lol...i think that is very funny at the rate bb is loosing ground and the market share by the time adobe gets to bb if it ever does....dont believe everything you read.....it wont be 10.1. this is already an old release and there are a couple different betas already being tested. BB is a thing of the past. I have seen the sales projections falling and falling. They cant compete with droid or icrap. AT&T will soon be hurting as well come feb when the icrap hit verizon. I hate icrap but to each his own.
So in response you didnt prove me wrong. I know maybe eventually it may find its way to bb....but i doubt any time soon and it wont be 10.1., and i highly doubt the bb will be around long anyway...old, outdated, slow.
