(please point me toward another post if I'm beating a dead horse)
Currently have an original Droid-looking at upgrading to either a Droid 2 or a Droid X. Would like advice-specifically from those of you that went from an original Droid to a Droid X. Some other info-
Droid-like the keyboard, but just more or less as a "handle" for the phone. I find it easier to browse, game, so forth if I slide the screen up and hold the keyboard. I do have large hands. Battery life good. Also like the 'toughness' of the phone-have dropped multiple times, even shut in a car door and it's held up. Overall love the phone-only thing I hate is the camera.
Droid 2-have used one for about an hour, borrowed from someone else. Like the speed, don't really care for the moto UI but it's OK. Like the keyboard, but just OK. Didn't get to take any pics, but if it's no better than the original Droid camera then I won't be impressed.
Droid X-have only seen them in VZW store. Love the screen size, and thinness. Not to hung up on no keyboard. Like some of the sample pics (taken with X) I've seen. Wonder about a.) overall size-I have large hands, feels OK in the store? b.) durablity-seems more 'plasticy' than my original droid c.) battery life with that large screen d.) dock use-how easy does the X come in and out of the dock e.) vehicle dock-overall ease of use as I use my Droid in the car for audio constantly f.) real world pic and video quality
I am leaning toward the Droid X as I do a ton of browsing/app use on my phone & for the better camera/video. I use bluetooth 80% when on a voice call so the quality of the speaker in that respect is not a huge issue. I see myself as a rare user of the HDMI function, may watch videos on the X from time to time. My heaviest use is in apps (gaming, GPS), browsing (skyfire for facebook, stock android for everything else) and GMAIL (mostly just read). Do some texting, but not a huge amount.
Would greatly appreciate any/all advice-love these forums and visit android central probably a dozen times a day.
