***Official "I will have my Droid X in my hands at such and such date" thread***

I noticed you posted db ratings in your home and work. How are they displayed on the X? Can you have a constant display of db instead of bars? thanks.
 
The db's are in the settings area under phone info just as piror, they can not be constantly displayed.

I have not played with the video editing software at all, dont really do much with the camera and about ZERO video but will try to take a look at today.

the camera is pretty good from my untrained eye. while i am no photography buff, i did think the camera on the Dinc was pretty bad and these in comparison are very good if not great. especially for a cell phone. Its not like you are taking wedding photos with this thing.

Charged it up today, going to leave wifi on today to see how much more life i can get, all previous tests were using 3g only which like i said i am in a poor reception area so it is very strenuous on the battery. will keep you posted

Camera pics are kind of subjective, to a point. In some reviews, they state the Inc takes better pics, but all agree the phone signal is better than the Inc.

Common review points, so far for X:

1. Great reception
2. Great Call quality
3. Good battery life
4. Great media playback
5. So-so camera
6. Slightly laggy interface
7. Fast with apps
8. No Flash content until Froyo (unless the Flash 2.1 apk floating posted at XDA works with Dolphin). Froyo 2.2 is still about three months away.
9. Display is not very sharp with text. (Is this hardware issue or browser?) A few reviews state the Inc has sharper text- LCD should kill AMOLED for sharpness.
10. Poor browser page fitting (easily fixed with Dolphin).
11. Microsd stuck behind battery

Items 5 through 10 (maybe not 5 or 9) can perhaps be fixed with a software update, so "A" rated device :)

Though the size has me concerned for a "phone" and I HATE the microsd stuck behind the battery (especially for a big device- why?), the improved signal reception and accelerated support for avi, divx and wmv has me interested.
 
I posted this above but maybe you missed it (or it doesn't interest you). Have you tried games on this unit? Curious given that both Samsung and Apple play up the additions they made for games (samsung - 6 axis detection; apple gyroscope).

Also with regards to photo nearly all photos will look poor if you zoom in 1:1 (pixel size). Take any DSLR whether it be a bottom end rebel or a top end DS3 and if you zoom all the way in 1:1 you will see the flaws.The trick is too look at an image at a normal print and/or monitor size. Also these small sensor (and compact camera) will always produce bad images in low light or if under exposed.

These images don't have exif data; but looking at the image of the squirrel I think it is ok; but it is a bit noisy and the bokeh (background blur) sucks. Probably not make a great 8x10 print but for a web photo (1024x768) it is probably fine.

The indoor pictures suck; I either the flash is very weak or they were fairly far from the subject.
 
How could you all be so presumptuous and think it was just a gloat post? You all are a bunch of jealous Nancy's. No offense to anyone named Nancy, of course.

BTW, the posts here about loaner units is valid. Hope you do not lose service in a month or so. Consumer electronics marketing teams are spiteful about this loaner stuff and will make sure it is killed or tracked down, if it can be. I hope the dude you are buying from is not a rube.

Not sure why they do this, since the stuff is treated as R&D or marketing right-off expenses anyways... Maybe they want the new stuff for themselves??
 
We keep presuming it's a gloat post because you keep calling us "jealous". To put it into Apple equatable terms, it's like you coming on here and boasting that you'll have the new black iPhone 4 before most of us have the option of buying it if we're so inclined.

Thanks Rushmore. The phone was given to the person as a gift from Motorola, he works in advertising for them, and it even has a card with it stating that it is a gift. I will be calling Verizon with the ESN before activating it to verify that everything is legit.

I only said it once, the last person to say everyone is jealous wasn't even me. This is a Droid X forum, what does it have to do with Apple?

iPhone early buys are different, since the person would probably be a social-elitist in that case (or know one- same difference). They would deserve your pitchforks and torches :) ;)

An Apple a day, keeps Steve Jobs in the way ;)
 
It was a joke about the slightly different flavor of phone. The iphone4 only comes out in white at first. Black won't be out for a little while =P

edit: oops. sorry, still tired. Now I see why no one got it. I mixed up the color availability. Shows how much I know about the iphone.

<-- fail
 
The pictures aren't as bad but they don't seem to pop like some of the pictures I've taken on the Incredible. I guess I'd be happy with these pictures if I hadn't used an Incredible. I'm still getting a X, so the picture quality isn't a deal breaker.
 
Hi guys. What's going on in this thread?... O i see....

06Wb6.jpg
 
i have not tried any games yet but will download a couple from the market and test out.

i feel the opposite about the pics coming from the Dinc, i hated that camera and feel the X is much better, to each their own
 
also, if anyone has a link to the flash apk i would be glad to try it. i did try one that i found in the droid section of this forum but it gave me an error when trying to install
 
Took a quick video and did not find any video editing options. went to the camera roll and viewed the video and all i saw were option to share it. maybe missing something

also for some reason i can not download anything from the market right now, i have downloaded apps already a couple days ago but right now it is saying "download unsuccessful" when i tired to down 3-4 different apps. Will restart and see what happens.
 
Maybe I am jealous! I drunkenly stumbled in here last night and didn't give it thought that this was the X subsection. Apologies all around!
 
I must admit... I'm actually not. lol It'll be much more exciting on the 15th as everything builds up. :D Plus... it'll be brand new.
