I'm just going to copy/paste a post that I wrote on this topic in the Android Lounge:
Check this benchmark video comparing the EVO and X on 2.1, and a Nexus One on 2.2 aka Froyo.
Some of the things that the EVO has that the Droid X doesn't:
- front facing camera: Ask yourself realistically how much you'd actually use it if you consider this an advantage.
- Sense UI: Some love it, some hate it. Overall the UI is great and the general consensus likes it.
- WiMax aka 4G coverage: While not true 4G, it is fast but is only in a few areas at the moment. It noticeably drains the battery when in use.
- Can be rooted and custom ROMs can be flashed: If you don't know the benefits to this, check elsewhere on this forum.
- The EVO can be overclocked to 1.? Ghz, while overclocking for the Droid X is currently unknown. The Droid X may have an encrypted bootloader, which means it can be rooted but custom ROMs may not be able to be flashed.
Some things the Droid X has that the EVO doesn't:
- Faster and more powerful CPU and GPU. 1Ghz OMAP outclasses the 1Ghz Snapdragon. Reference the benchmark test.
- Thinner overall. Even though the Droid X is slightly longer than the EVO, it is noticeably thinner. Anyone that's held both of them says the X feels alot smaller, even though it's actually slightly longer than the EVO.
- It DOES NOT have Motoblur. This is proven in our own Phandroid review, Motorola's website, Phonearena review, etc. It has Moto Widgets, that can be resized. If you like Sense, you can simulate it with apps like Launcher Pro, Beautiful Widgets, etc.
- Long battery life. The Droid X has a longer lasting battery than the EVO. It has been reported to have a talk time of 9 hours 30 minutes by phonearena:

With all of that said, both of the phones are at the top of the class. I would base my decision mostly off of the coverage for Spint vs Verizon in your area. None of this makes a difference if you can't make a phone call. At the current pace, both of the phones will be outclassed by Winter anyway.
