The dx is an awesome phone even for a non techie like me. I even got brave enough to root it and it was a breeze especially with the help from the people in here. Basically any question u got, someone will have an answer that's helpful. As far as the 4g goes, unless your in the area that's got of or goin to get it soon it's really not goin to help you. Yeah there's several new phones coming out that are nice but i don't know of any i would trade my x for. The only thing the x is lacking is a front facing camera and that's if u would actually use it. If your not in a rush just wait a month and they should have the iphone, motorola bionic, and htc thunderbolt. I'd go with the bionic of the new phones. Motorola has always been a really good quality phone in my opinion.
