Droid X or Incredible?

Thank god a line in my families plan has an upgrade. I'm getting away from the Moto Droid and on to a better phone. I can't decide which one to get though. I'm by no means an expert on this subject so please flood me with your knowledge. I've heard the Sense UI on the Incredible slows it down but I haven't heard much negatives about the Droid X's system. The only thing that I might not like about the Droid X from just looking at it is that it's huge. Other then that I have no idea which one to get. I'm leaning towards the X just because it seems like it can do so much more then the incredible.

And for those of you who say wait for the Droid 2 release in August, nah i'm good.

Blackberry OS7 is coming out soon on a new until. Its gonna blow all that android crap out of the water.

If your set on a Droid. At least google the new OS for BB it may very well change your mind.

I have a droid x and my sister as an incredible so I've done a considerable amount of playing around with both.

The camera on the X cannot be beat. It stitches panoramic photos, takes decent macro shots, and could probably make a decent ski edit if you have a steady hand.

The real deciding factor though is the size. The Droid X is fucking huge. This means more accurate typing, bigger screen for browsing/gps/pictures/etc. But some people find it inconvenient because it won't fit in their front pocket.

The interfaces are similar, both are fast enough for browsing the interwebs comfortably, so the only thing it comes down to is would you rather have a bigger screen or a more compact device.

The only thing i don't like about my x is the short battery life. Other than that, it is the phone jesus would have if he had a smartphone. Pretty much perfect so far.

Yeahhh, most anticipating the moving of apps to SD card, the internal memory is way too small.

I have the Incredible....been considering going to the X.

From what I gather....

Sense UI kills the shit motorola puts out. BUT you can use Launcher Pro and solve this problem for the most part.

Incredible as a richer (and in my opinion) better looking screen, but you cannot see it for shit in the sun. X will be much better to see in the sun and still looks pretty decent.

I've seen conflicting reports going either way about the camera, both seem to take fairly decent photos.

Both getting froyo pretty soon it sounds like.

X is obviously huge. As I carrying my phone in my pocket all the time, definitely a concern. But bigger screen for browsing and typing would be awesome.

X comes with swype, which I prefer when typing one handed but hate with two.

Battery life on the incredible does suck pretty much, X should be better, but not sure how much.

I came from a blackberry that I loved, but I am fully converted now.

Anyway, my sister has an upgrade and said she would be willing to let me use it for the X if I swap the incredible with her. Just now have to decide.....definitely things I think I would like better about either. I can say, for sure, I am really really happy with my incredible, so either way I should end up with a kick ass phone.

word their new shit is going to blow the droids out of the water. Their trying really hard to maintain their famous security and functionality while rivaling the 3rd party abilities of the droids

Rim are the fucking O.Gs of smartphones as soon as they make flashy toy phones for the masses and not just perfected business phones they will take over the world, again.

youre missing key features like tethering and mobile hotspots though :(


to the bb users above, bbos6 looks nice but i dont think you can say itll blow android os out of the water...

google's android is excelling and will soon dominate the smartphone market. they have already hit 100k apps and have over one billion downloads. yes so does apple, but apple has also been in the game for a lot longer.


id say go for the droid x if you dont mind its size. you are able to root it now. although both phones are great

I totally respect how ahead app and customization wise android is right now.
But I think RIM is going to maintain their incredible security and survivability while trying much harder to  catch up to the appeal of the android open style OS's. I'm no expert  but I don't think Apple can compete with Droid or BB , iPhones are cheap toys.

blackberry is gonna blow android out of the water? riggghhttttt hahahahaahhhahah

to the OP, I have the X, coming from a windows smartphone its amazing. But thats not really saying much as windows sucks in the mobile department. I have noticed a few glitches here and there with the X, but nothing too noticeable. For example, occasionally it will show someone elses contact picture and name on the home screen, but then once you click reply its someone completely different. The other problem was that one morning the phone just bugged the fuck out and went black and started vibrating non stop. I'm not sure if its just my X, but it was easily solved by a battery pull. But seriously its still the best phone EVARR.

and once again... blackberry blowing android out of the water....HAHAHAHAHAH

All depends what you use your phone for. We will see. Droid and new BB stuff is going to be different but I think that the new Blackberry stuff will be impressive.
