Reasons Not to Switch to Droid X

I thought since the Droid X Forum has a thread on reasons to switch to the Droid X, I thought we'd make one for reasons why we won't switch.

1) Too bulky.
2)Not an HTC device, therefore no HTC Sense.
3)No optical trackball.
4) No touch-sensitive buttons.
 
For me personally I just do not like Motorola, plus the screen is too large

Onboard 8GB storage is not separated, storage for apps only
 
6) screen to big
7) speaker not as loud
8) Colors aren't as vivid (amoled)
9) leds for flash aren't as strong
10) no flash support (until late summer)

Not too sure I agree with this one. The only thing I can find useful for this is for the camera. BUT...everything else I totally agree with! I still think its even better than the EVO!
 
We all own collectables... Lol. Time to wrap in it bubble wrap, don't wasn't a lcd replacement.

Are you kidding? The optical joystick is a huge point you can't play some games without it and trying to edit text without it is completely frustrating.
 
The buttons killed the thought of switching. I had to look into it knowing a newer droid was coming out. The cam bulk is bad but im sure their will be options case wise to make it flush.

Maybe I've just completely neglected it's existence. I don't know...I've been SWAMPED with Nesoid, SNESoid, and GENsoid. Seriously? All three classic game systems for $12? And to boot...the graphics are pretty damn good!
 
The only thing I have ever used the trackpad for is to take pictures with the camera. I dont play games on it and editing text I can do by touch.
 
Reports are that HTC is dropping Samsung's AMOLED panel for Sony's Super TFT LCD (IPS)

So which is better and why?

AMOLED has better contrast and is more vivid, Lcd you can see better outdoors. Personally, I use my phone indoors mostly so I would rather have a better picture.

Not spending my money on a semi-better phone and using that money for a way better phone in a year?!

That's mostly my reason for not getting it.

6. Screen too big (?)

I guess to each his own. No offense to anyone, but I can just imagine someone on the X's side with the following list as to why DINC owners are unfortunate:

1) Too small for American hands.
2) Not an MOTO device, therefore no MOTO BLUR.
3) Optical trackball, how sad.
4) Touch-sensitive buttons, easy to press the wrong button by mistake.
6) screen too small
7) speaker too loud
8) Hard to see outdoors with AMOLED
9) (I don't know what this means, so you can have it)
10) no flash support (until late summer)

I own neither devices, but am trying to decide which to get.

It was stated that it isnt running blur, rather just a skin not full blown blur and screen size will be key to some who want a bigger screen. You're right each person is different and not everyone will like the phone or want it.
 
Yep. I'm a release day-er too. Oh well. That just means we'll be eligible for an LTE super phone by the time our NE2 is up :D

About the track pad... how can you guys NOT use it? I use it for web browsing all the time instead of zooming way in on a tiny link. I thought I was going to miss my Storm's point and click. Not with the D Inc's track pad.
