This thread has advanced from 1 page to 5 pretty quickly. It's pretty tough to keep up with ever post.

Rimzy, put "No front camera" on your first post about the phone.

Not to get too off topic, I agree. This forum is better that most other forums, and I for one want to keep it that way.

Anyway, I hope Moto(Ninja?)blur is useful or optional, and not just all social networking and nothing else, but I'm stoked for this phone. It looks awesome.

Done Jradicle, have u been watching the games, phew, the pressure and excitement is too much

Honestly, the front camera isn't even that great. No one would even be mentioning if the new iphone 4 didn't have one.

Actually I don't think it has anything to do with the iPhone 4. More that the HTC EVO has it and that Motorola has stated they will start making it on their Android devices.
 
Well, once you get the Dell Streak, place next to it, the Droid will be smaller :P

Then get the ipad...it will not end. LOL
 
First post here! Looking at upgrading to my first smartphone.

With that said, the Shadow looks like a beast of a phone! I'm kinda concerned on how pocketable it is, in combination with a case that I'll likely get for it. Any thoughts?
 
First post here but have been a follower for awhile. I've really been looking forward to this phone since i heard about it. Been researching almost every 3-4 hours for as much info as I can find for over a month. What was really a huge factor for me was the front facing camera. I have 3 kids and would love the ability to see and talk to them, especially when traveling. I refuse to go AT&T & iphone which is Wifi only anyways "through 2010" as Jobs said. I had high hopes for Motorola to hit it out of the park. They almost did. Love the look and design but no front camera means this phone and most all others sold this year without one will seem very outdated. I love Verizon coverage but Sprint is offering me everything but the kitchen sink if I pick up EVO. 4G by end of July here in Tampa (recently announced we've been pushed ahead of Miami), 25% employer discount, waiving my activation fees along with first two months discount to cover time it will take to activate employer discount, free HDMI cable and car adaptor...Any thoughts?
 
@benjidude, i think that verizon is buying time, releasing phones with front facing camera on a 3g network can be daunting...that is why att is over wifi only for the iphone 4, i think that you should wait, get something less expenisve until vzw starts rolling out their front facing camera if thats what you want, motorola will definitely be releasing some more phones so there is a possibility of that, and HTC might have something in the works, but is sounds like u have made up your mind with sprint....i dont know, it is a matter of preference, i choose providers not phones...soo.

Haven't made up my mind yet. Thanks for your advice. It's getting so hard every time I walk by or drive by a Sprint store. I was just in the mall this morning and that EVO looks gorgeous but I'm a V-man for now. I still keep hoping the testers are wrong. If you look at the up close pic of the front of the Droid X you can see a small circle near the speaker to the right. It looks extremely similar to the EVO's front cam. Noticed that today as i was analyzing it in the Sprint Store. Crossing my fingers!
 
No. The Iphone can always use data and talk at the same time even over 3g. It's Sprint and Verizon that cannot use data/talk together. I think it's a shortcoming of CDMA.

I believe Iphone is only over Wifi either because 3g is too slow for a decent video chat or because at&t didn't want video chats clogging up their 3g network. I believe they can use alot of data.

I would expect that video chat would use data for both anyway.
 
the Biggest reasons for me to NOT go with the Evo and pick up 1 for me and my wife,.

#1. Sprint's coverage has not improved in my area since atleast 2000-2001, and roams on Verizon with either NO or 1x data...

#2. The Evo "claims" to take 720 HD video, But from what samples we have seen it looks TERRIBLE!!!

Hopefully that "hump" is there to hold some decent optics.

Also any confirmation yet on the CPU in the X? still alot of conflicting info, according to the quardrant benchmarks this thing with 2.2 is going to be smokin,, Also hoping we have nice LOUD audio from this thing, the iphone is a piece of crap when it comes to call audio clarity and volume, and the speaker phone is 100% USELESS.
