Hopefully this will be my last post in this subject. The phone I got today was a brand new DX. Not a DX2 like others (again, not what I was trying for ...just wanted a working DX), but a brand new DX is cool by me. I remember reading that they dropped internal storage to 2GB, but mine has 8GB, so I guess they have them in stock still. Pretty much an fyi!

Do you have to pay the insurance deductible on these ($90 I think), or do they consider this kind of stuff under warranty? I am having problems with restarts and 3g connectivity, as well, but if I have to pay that money to get a replacement, I might as well wait until March to upgrade.

So they don't have any replacements at the stores?Just in case anyone was wondering, they are replacing DXs with DXs. I got my replacement DX today. Of course, it doesn't work. Will not even boot up, and I can't get it into the bootloader to sbf it. Its going back. Verizon were very apologetic, and they are sending me out another DX that I will get tomorrow. Since I was trying to replace my DX (and its 40+ reboots a day) for a DX, the fact that they are replacing DXs with DXs is cool for me. Now, hopefully I can get a certified like new to actually work...

I may even try to go through a couple of X2s before then if I can
I think that's pretty clear.

I called Verizon yesterday because of a problem that I was having with my Droid X. The camera button wouldn't work.
The person waiting on me gave me a choice to replace my Droid X with another Droid X or to replace it with a Droid X2. It makes no sense, but they would replace a Droid X with a non functional camera button for a Droid X2 with no camera button. I couldn't believe it. ( I really could care less about the camera button since I so rarely use the camera anyway. I was calling Verizon to see if the latest Gingerbread upgrade might have deactivated the camera button. They said no and asked if I wanted to replace my defective X. )
Well, for me it was a no brainer. I'll take the X2 with the Dual Core processor. She told me that as long as I have insurance, the X2 replacement will be under warranty. Otherwise it would be only 90 days. My original Droid X had a year's warranty which is nearly over. What I didn't know is that there would be no co-pay in the event of a problem with the replacement phone, as long as I continue to carry the insurance. Only in the event of a lost a phone, do you pay $100 for a replacement. That was good news.
I am a bit concerned about some of complaints of pixellation of the X2's screen. Still, it is supposed to have higher resolution. A YouTube side by side comparison showed a sharper X2 screen. So, I am not sure why some people are complaining about the X2's screen. Hopefully, there isn't a lot of sample variation.

You are correct. I have had nothing but problems with the X. My X2's battery life sucks. On my X I was able to charge it every other night and it was ok. With the X2, I am only getting about 10 - 12 hours of use, and by use I mean checking my e-mail when I get one and sending about 10 text messages, and a few phone calls.
