    Droid X Shipping on August 23!

    I'm curious if they're giving priority to new subscribers. I know Sprint does this on a regular basis with popular phones. Are some of the folks having problems getting theirs in a timely fasion upgrading?

    Web Browser & E-mail not resizing

    I noticed this as well when playing with the X at a Verizon store. What you need to do is pinch to zoom and THEN double tap to reformat the text in the browser.

    Any Droid X users in the Des Moines area?

    Thanks for the reply jerparker! I'm hoping to have a friend come by with a 3G enabled Verizon phone to help gage the service. Right now I'm averaging about -110dB (no bars) with Sprint and dropping to 1x for data constantly.

    Any Droid X users in the Des Moines area?

    How's your voice/data signal and performance? I just moved to a townhome in Urbandale Iowa (des moines area) and am getting terrible service from Sprint with my Hero. I was ready to jump to the EVO but what's the point if I can't use it? ;) Anyway, the logical alternative is the X and Verizon...

    Will 3D Gaming Improve

    So if I flash a ROM or hard reset an EVO I have to buy the game again?

    Beyond Fed Up with Seidio

    I've had terrible luck with Seido service as well. It's nice that they have a presence on various message boards. However, it doesn't matter when their warranty/service department completely ignores your inquiries. Bad service + overpriced cases = no more money from me.

    Who's more annoying: Android or iPhone fanboys?

    The interesting thing is that it's not as simple as "Android vs. iPhone" anymore. Incredible owners bash EVO owners, EVO owners bash potential Droid X or Epic 4G owners. The bottom line is that human beings use emotions (whether they realize it or not) to help them make just about every decision...

    HDMI Droid X

    At home I would have almost no use for HDMI out from a phone. Traveling on the other hand, the feature would come in handy. Problem is how many TVs do you come across with HDMI ports when you're staying in a hotel? I'm poor and most places I stay at have a huge CRT TV circa 1990.

    Android Central's Free Droid X giveaway

    I think the droid x is hot because of its awesome screen and build quality.

    Would confirmation of an encrypted bootloader stop you from buying the DX?

    I really enjoy flashing ROMs on my Hero. It's fun to tinker and the support from the XDA community is second to none. However, the reality is that I wouldn't be going through the trouble of throwing on custom ROMs if the phone worked well out of the box. It doesn't, and in my opinion all HTC...

    Samsung Intercept now available??

    IMHO this phone sounds like a complete waste of money. EVDO Rev 0, no flash, lower rez screen? Talk about taking steps backwards.

    Best Buy or Verizon Store?

    This is an excellent point. I've purchased multiple phones from Best Buy. I couple of times the guy was spinning my new phone around in his hand and occasionally setting it down on the counter with a thud. Pretty aggravating.

    Amzer Cases/Products Experience?

    I've heard good things about their cases for the EVO. In particular this one: Amzer? Luxe Argyle Skin Case - Smoke Grey For HTC EVO 4G Edit: Here's an EVO user's impressions of the above case: http://www.forum.androidcentral.com/showthread.php?t=21071
