Would you switch to a Droid X?

[starbiker99]

I also came over from a DX. I got it the day that they were released. It is a great phone but when my wife got the Fascinate I really liked the size so much more. I found me one on ebay and loaded up SC 2.9.2 on it and now I must say I probably won't ever go back to the X. As of right now I only have 1 complaint and that would be no LED for notifications.

would i switch from a FASN8 to a Droid X? Hellztothenizzo!

for all the reasons stated previously.

I have owned both. DROID X is superior. I like big screens, specs, memory, and a good battery. My primary use of the droid is for school, but with my hdmi outs I have a blast sharing media at moms house. (She is like, "what is dlna?") I like engineering too, and apple has em all beat on that front, but the build if the X makes the fascinate feel toyish. I would wait though, as the DX is not bleeding edge anymore. Get HTC or a new Droid. I am going google phone next, no matter the evil carrier.

It really is a subjective matter of preference. To one person, the DX may be superior, and to the next, the Fascinate. It all comes down to what you want, and which phone meets your needs best. Here is a technical breakdown:

That's really the bottom line.

Not sure who wrote that article, but the X has 16 gig sd card pre installed too. Not a fan, just keeping facts facts.

The information in the table was pulled directly from Verizonwireless.com. I believe it initially shipped with a 16GB card, but they reduced it to a 2GB card

Not like you needed me to say it, but that's absolutely correct.
