I'm sure I am in the same boat with a lot of Droid X owners as July progresses. I bought and activated mine on 7/23 so I have around 3 weeks left on the warranty. Those that bought it on 7/15 have under 2 weeks.
Just wondering if there are any known issues of the DX to be aware of. I heard, at one point, that the headset jack would have a history of going bad. I don't use this regularly, but so, mine has had no issues.
On the software side, I am still running a Froyo based Rom and don't really see the need to change. Gingerbread doesn't really seem like a big deal to me.
Battery life and last me about 1 day with regular usage, less if I am using Netflix heavily.
16 GB SD card is still readable and writable.
About the only thing I haven't tested is the HDMI out feature since I don't have an HDMI TV, but, assuming the rest of the phone is OK, I hope this works as well.
Part of my reason for asking this question is because I should be eligible for an annual upgrade on 7/23/11 and I've decided I will probably drop my insurance,
A) because the DX has fallen enough in value to make buying one on ebay not much more than paying by $100 deductible to Asurion should something happen. In the beginning, when the DX was over $500 new, insurance seemed worth it.
B) Because if I do have an Annual Upgrade, it is almost like having insurance if I need to replace my phone quickly.
C) The Bionic may be coming out soon after that, in which case, I would add the insurance again for that phone.
