Alright, perfect is extreme. But I am having a hard time understanding why people are upset.
First off, no phone is for every one. All depends on what you want/need. So, lets look at a few things.

4G
 
No 4G isn't a huge deal. A very tiny amount of people are in an area covered by Verizon's 4G, it's even smaller than AT&T's 3G network :P

Have a front facing camera on my Thunderbolt. Have used it exactly once. Until every phone has one and there is standard default software for it on every phone, it will be nothing more than a gimmick.
 
512mb ram is more than enough specially for android, as to how it manges ram. However cpu power will be more demanding as the time goes on. I think even the atrix only uses 512mb for android and full 1gb is used in the dock mode.
 
The Droid X is no longer a cutting edge device, I think people have a hard time accepting that of their prefered device...just like what the Dinc, and Droid is...average now. Droid Bionic, Galaxy phones have supplanted it.
 
I've had this phone since Friday now.
Pros: Scrolling is smooth.
-Dungeon Defenders, and the N64 emulator runs extremely well. Destroys the fascinate.
-Screen is very very clear, and crisp.
-Battery life seems acceptable compared to the fascinate and thunderbolt
-Very light weight wise compared to the thunderbolt and the original droid.

Cons:
-psx4droid does not work well with tegra right now so it runs slower then the fascinate, and about as fast as the thunderbolt
-Screen while crisp, is extremely washed out (Talking about color).
-Sound coming out of the Minijack is about as good as the fascinate, but not nearly as clear as the thunderbolt. For some reason the quality of the minijack on the thunderbolt is extremely high. (imho anyway)

I'll post more later, but all and all, as an off contract phone, I’m loving it. Not a two year phone though imho.
