Droid X refurb vs. Thunderbolt

[bigcanoe]

I am looking at getting a new plan with Verizon. I am trying to decide between a HTC Thunderbolt on 1 year contract or a refurb Droid X on a 1 year contract. I have a coupon that works with the Droid X (but not the Thunderbolt). Price is $119 for the refurb Droid X and $249 for the Thunderbolt. Is the T worth the extra $130?

My instinct says yes...

Isn't $249 the 2 yr. price? But yes, to me worth the extra money,came from the X, awesome phone. The refurb X should be $99 through Verizon.

Your instinct is correct!

$249 is the 1 year price, $219 is the two year price.

I would grab it, just checked the web site $249 for a two year contract.

Ah those prices must be with my corporate discount, sorry.

Well if you get the Droid X from Amazon Wireless you can get it for a penny, the Thunderbolt is also quite a bit cheaper at $175

Also came from a DX... great phone but I'm liking the Thunderbolt better.

well getting cutting edge tech for extra $ or getting a refurbished year+ old phone for less... I would think that would be a no contest.

get the bolt. you wont be sorry!

Nothing wrong with either phone...but yes, the TB is worth the 150 dollar premium over the X, especially when it comes to future proofing yourself. The X isn't quite showing it's age now or anything, but a year from now it'll look and perform a lot worse than the TB. If you're signing a contract, go with the best technology you can afford at the time. That's my motto.
