My wife owns the Droid INC. And I have been stuck with a crappy BBcurve with worse network (nextel) for well over a year and a half. I am fed up.. I had my mind set on getting the Droid INC...
My wife got hers on release date her phone is awesome and I have spent many hours using it. Today went to the local VZ store and the manager went to the back and got a droid X for me to look and and mess with.
Few key things
Hardware
As some people have reported the phone done not feel as big as it is.. I was holding my wife’s Inc in one hand and the X in the other. I don’t know if its the way the phone is made or what but they almost felt the same size. It seems like the X is skinner other then the Hump..
And as others have reported the Hump is not noticeable at all unless your looking for it. It is much slighter then the photos suggest.
Quality is not even close between the X and the INC even my wife said that her phone feels Cheap.
The quality of the X blows the INC out of the water. Its like holding a cheap plastic toy compared to high tech piece of equipment (almost cant explain it)
UI
The UI on the X (moto blur) is nice and FAST the screens and the touch screen is super responsive seems better then the INC..
But there is still something about the (SENSE UI) that I like better don’t know what it is maybe its the widgets have more color or its that clock on the home screen.
If that can be changed with the droid X then I would have the prefect phone. (On the INC I really like the pinch out from the home screen then pick the one you want to go too. Not a fan of the dots on the moto blur deal)
The buttons at the bottom of the phone are awesome they are recessed perfect as to not get in the way but easy to touch when needed.
Overall
I was waiting to see this phone in person before I decided to get my first real Smartphone.. I was going to get a driod INC but the ******ed 4-5 week wait was clearly not worth it.
So I waited for the last 3 weeks for this one to come out. And now that I have had a chance to play with it I am more then happy I did.
I spoke to the manager of the store he got 45 of the Xs in stock and will be opening up an hour early on Thur. I am sure to get one in this small town.. The wife wants to sell her INC on Ebay now and get an X LOL I think I sense some Envy ….
Something tells me when 2.2 comes out this thing is going to be sick!!!
