Here's mine after taking it on the road for 4 days after just getting it. I am coming from an OLD flip phone samsung A707 (samsung sync I think it was called)
[*]Aesthetic
Nice looking phone. I like the curve for the camera.
[*]Screen
Big and the res is good if you don't zoom in too much (the iphone4's is better, but this is as good as you will need). I do not like that the home page's dont switch to landscape view (though I know it has to do with the # of rows and columns. I also dont like the the landscape only goes one way (with the power charger down, so I cant stand the phone to watch videos without engineering something)
[*]Hardware
Runs fast... though I still see some lag on some things that I shouldn't... like unlocking the phone.
[*]Phone - including bluetooth & speakerphone usage
no problems with the phone, haven't used the bluetooth or speakerphone
[*]Overall User Interface (including Moto's Launcher)
I like whatever it is (droid software or Moto whatever). I still seems to have a lot a apps crash or fail to start. But a restart of the phone fixes all.
[*]Motorola Widgets
confused me at first. My wife had the droid and I was working with it for a few days before I got the X and they didn't have the different widgets (android versus motorola). I use the quick contact one, the photo one, and that is it, everything else I use android widgets or apps. Both work fine, though there are android apps that do the same.
[*]Signal quality (Compared to other devices)
no change. I went from an ATT phone to Verizon and I haven't noticed a change.... guess ATT is better in my area than most. In fact, my in-laws ATT phone had reception in a camping location that I did not
They made fun of me
[*]GPS
Works like GPS should. GREAT for out of town stuff. I had to download the around me app because google wasn't the greatest at finding a restaurant around where I was, but then I just went to maps and found an update. The navigation and traffic layer are great. As is latitude for me and my wife so we can see where the other is.
[*]Social Networking
It auto sync'd with facebook. I love that on my contacts page I can slide right and see the recent posts for anyone. I don't use facebook much but that part was pretty cool.
[*]Email/Calendar
email works as email. I use gmail so there were no issues for me. Very short lag on receiving the message on my phone. Calendar I have yet to dig into, planning on using it for the first time and maybe I will become organized (holds breath)
[*]Battery Life
WAS HORRIBLE for me. Then I turned of GPS and its great. GPS EATS YOUR BATTERY. Task killing is over rated. Also, I hate that the "battery use" function told me that my display was using 90% of my power rather then showing me that GPS was using it. Is there a more accurate battery usage app?
[*]Performance
no problems, runs everything... because its new. hope they don't advance processors to fast, would be nice if 1 stays as the "base" for a while.
[*]Media (music, movies, DLNA)
Music player sucks. No way around it. My old phone was far superior. Cant get it to bring over itunes playlists and play them on shuffle mode. I am now on app number 15 to find a program. double twist, itunes agent, and a few others all failed. I just want 3 different sets of songs (playlists) so that I can pick one of those three and then have it randomly play songs from that list.
I haven't done much else with movies or such.
[*]Moto Widgets reviews
like the quick call contacts
[*]Swype vs. Multi-Touch Keyboard
first time using an onscreen keyboard. The size of the phone helps so much... I have no problems. Took me a little bit to adjust, but now I text and google search just fine.
[*]Camera (both still & video)
Camera is over rated. Takes poor low light photos. It works great out doors but all sorts of issues with inside pics. Video is awesome though!
[*]How the X compares to your previous smartphone (if applicable)
I didn't have a smartphone, my wife had the droid that I played with for a few days before this and I like the X better
[*]Disappointments (if any)
Camera quality
