Anyone getting the Droid X2?

So, now that I've had my dinc for over a year (launch day) I'm anxious to get a new phone. I noticed that the dinc is routinely going for ~ $150 on ebay and that would help offset the $199 upgrade price of the Droid X2.

The dual core proc and qHD display are so tempting. 4.3" is a little big but I think I could make do. I was really hoping on seeing some decent 4" screens but it doesn't look like the market is demanding them.

Sure, the fact that it doesn't have a LTE antenna in it is kind of a turnoff, but I'm not so sure I really need it.
 
Nope. My next phone is going to be the next Nexus phone (Nexus Three?) which will hopefully be on Verizon. And if it isn't on Verizon they I will gladly leave Verizon and go wherever the Nexus Three is.
 
launch day Incredible here, too... not jumping on the DX2. I have serious 'EVO Envy' so I'm leaning towards the Thunderbolt. Not doing anything until the mythical Bionic shows up, so... Inc for a few more months.
 
I've had my Incredible since launch also. I'm considering a new phone, and want a bigger screen. I thought I wanted a 4", but after looking them over have decided that 4.3 is the way to go for me...which brings me to the DX2.

I looked at the first DX when it came out and while I was intrigued, I wasn't impressed by the screen (which I thought looked kind of dull), disliked blur compared to Sense, and thought the phone was laggy or choppy in transitions. All in all enough for me to rule it out.

But now I'm really considering it since it has a higher resolution screen and faster processor, as well as toned down blur. I just haven't had a chance to really play with one yet. I'm not sure if I want to wait see what happens with the Bionic, or wait around for the galaxy S 2 which looks awesome (but didn't have a new message indicator light?!?!), etc...-
 
I'm a launch day guy too. I was due for an upgrade and wanted something new. I had been eying the Charge because I love the screen, but didn't really want to spill the dough and prefer soft buttons. Instead, I picked up the Fascinate for free at Best Buy. I have another upgrade in December, so I figured I wouldn't have lost much...unless my are gets 4G and the tiered data plans are in place. Even then it isn't horrible, I spent $30 for the buyback plan and will get $300 back if I want something new off contract.

How do I like the Fascinate? I dig the screen, both size and quality. I miss the battery life I had with the extended battery in the DInc and don't care for the extended battery covers for the Fascinate. Instead, I picked up an extra battery for $10 - the dock was also only $10.

I also discovered how much I like CyanogenMod. I used the CommRom for about two weeks before deciding to install an Alpha CyanogenMod. No working Camera or MMS...but its home! I think I've learned that I will wait to see how the CyanogenMod support plays out prior to picking my next phone.
