I have heard some x owners say the phone is laggy, and others say it's fast.
Others say it speeds up when the stock widgets are removed.
What say everyjuan?

I think it's fine. Much more responsive than my iPhone 3G. But then again just about anything would be. The iPhone got laggy and the DX does a little but it's usually no big deal.
I've got no issues with the speed of the DX.

well, i am thinking about selling my x just because it's so damn laggy. i am not a moron i know how to setup a phone so don't even throw that at me. i have launcherpro and have tried adw with basically no widgets. at times it's so bad that even the lock screen lags when i pull the tab. i absolutely LOVE OMAP too and this just lets me down. i hope we can get some OC kernels sometime soon to fix this. My Droid Incredible runs so smoothly compared to the X and that's a FACT.
Mines fine.
Of course I used to load applications onto a computer off of a cassette tape from a command line... so... it is great.

If the phone is laggy, it's something the END USER IS DOING.
All of the Droid X are built with the same specs.. it's illogical to think one runs worse/better than the others.
It makes no sense. Pull 2 Droid X out of the box and they will run exactly the same.
root one and now you've modified it and theoritically it can run differently. Put different widgets on one that aren't on the fresh-out-of-the-box DroidX and it'll run differently.

Yes, they are all built to the same specs but that doesn't mean that there are not variations in CPU speed, RAM speed, etc. Or something's amiss that would cause retries or other communications faults across the buss.
I'm in IT and we see this all the time - 2 identical servers, same Windows CD used but 1 has issues and the others does not. Could be hardware or the POS known as Windows....
Point is if yours is slow in stock form it may be something in the hardware, not the software.

Mine runs great, BUT I have sometimes noticed slight lag when switching screens. Nothing to be bothered by though, everything had slight lag.

My X is filled with apps and runs smooth, never LAGS. Stock UI no launchers. Don't know whats wrong with your phone.
The stock Moto UI is laggy and sluggish. When using Launcher Pro however, its smooth an quick. It all depends on the UI your using. I wish Motor would have better tested their UI before releasing it because it just doesnt feel all that great to be honest. And, now that Im hearing reports that froyo is actually making the device slower... Yeah, glad I returned mine. I loved the size of the device and how solid it felt(loved the druid 1 build also) and was fun going on websites due to the shear size, but the battery life and stock UI just ruined it. However when I did go to return mine at the store, I messed around with the floor model and the UI on theirs did seem more snappy then mine. So, it might just be the luck of the draw with the phone you get. Mine unfortunately seemed to be the worse of the bunch.
Ill wait an see what updates bring to the device before I go back and purchase it again.

Don't really use the social networking or news widgets, just weather, about 15 people widgets, calendar and a few toggles.

You, and probably a few others, just got a bad phone batch. My friend has had terrible terrible issues with his phone (3-4 hrs battery life, lockups, rebooting) and he keeps saying he's going iphone. I keep telling him that he probably got a phone that was jacked up. It'd be no different if someone got a bad patch of iphone 4's.
Fortunately for him he's getting a replacement DX in the mail tomorrow though he is growing impatient, hehe. My other friend and I have had zero issues with our DX's. Smooth and fast.
I remember that statistic somewhere that 95% of returned items are not actually broken. Perhaps you and my friend are that small 5% that truly are.
Ditto. My wife's was choppy and hanging on her. I removed all the Moto Widgets that she didn't use. Now it's faster.

Mine is pretty good. I think it will be ridiculous with froyo. Overclock and froyo would be even better hah
Hackers are like novocaine. Only a matter of time before you become speechless and drool.
