I don't know if Cory would but I will.

Have a tip or trick related to the Droid X - this is the place to put it.

Someone was curious about the double tap home button: Go to settings and then applications, and the last options allows you to change the function.

Also to save some battery for those of you with social networking, I would recommend going to data manager under settings, then data delivery, then social applications. You can set it to only update on wifi, so when you are at home on the charger it syncs.

Edit: to have the phone vibrate for text messages, go to the home of the text messages and pull up the menu, then settings. Should be an option close to the bottom.

found out that you can actually disable the lock screen in the settings menu:
menu>settings>location & security and from there just uncheck the screen lock option. best part is that you can disable the swipe lock, while still keeping a passcode or pattern lock if you want

Probably not useful for most...but my girlfriend has been using the giant screen as a mirror to check her makeup when it's really sunny out hahaha

I don't know how many people know this but you can kill any running app without a 3rd party task killer by:

1. Go to settings
2. Scroll down to Applications and tap it
3. Tap 'Manage Applications'
4. Press the menu button.
5. Select 'Filter'
6. Select 'Running'
7. Tap apps to perform function

EDIT: You can also toggle music controls when playing while the phone is locked.
