Re: Anyone own a D3 as well as a DX2?? thoughts?
Practically the same phone? Hardly!
The D3 is OMAP-based, the DX2 is Tegra2-based. That alone gives the DX2 access to many more games & THD-specific titles. Other than that (and the bigger X2 screen), the D3 trumps it in every way:
-1080p video recording
-Global phone capability
-Overall better/improved 8Mp camera stills (especially in low-light)
-Front-facing cam
-Ships with Gingerbread 2.3.4 standard
-Newer/better/faster Gingerblur 3D UI
-Better/newer camera app
-Available inductive charging battery door
-16Gb internal storage
-A few more useful apps included (still tons of bloatware though)
Supposedly the D3's pentile is a tad bit better than the DX2's or at least it's less noticable due to the smaller size. I cannot verify since I have not yet seen a D3 in person. If my hands-on time with the D3 is very positive, I may consider jumping ship from DX2 to D3. So far, I've been a BB and two VZW corp stores and none of them have the D3 out yet. I definitely believe the story that has been circulating that they are trying to blow out all of the old D2G's before selling the D3. Bummer.
