yea the fascinate is a great phone all around i have the x also and the screen and the camera and the moto blur are big factors to compare to the fascinate, the fascinate is just in my opinion better but the x does have better reception and in my opinion faster than the fascinate, but with froyo and root it is much much better, the fascinate is my phone for when iam at home and the x was for when i was at work but really dont want to mess up that phone cause iam selling it soon to a friend so now my work phone is the OG Droid, witch is still up to par with all of the new phones. With all of the great people on the forums rooting should be easy as a few clicks and plugins, read up read up and ask question, everyone is here to help.
