Ah, it seemed so great in the store. Then I took one home. After a while, it's beginning to feel too big! Feels heavy on my belt, big in my hand, my hand bumps into it while walking, and it feels like I have a large deck of cards to my ear when talking.

Did you feel this way and get over it? Or did it feel right to you from the beginning?

I talked to someone who had the EVO (same size as X, I understand) and he took it back 'cause it was just too darned big!

How 'bout you? Does size "matter" in this case?

Imagine playing a FPS game. I played NOVA on the iPod Touch and the screen was just too small to navigate around in the game (virtual joystick too small, buttons too close). As you see with the Droid X I played NFS on it (Verizon store) and I had good amount of room to tap buttons, move my finger around.

I think it is the perfect size for what it is, honestly.
However, if Otterbox ever gets act together and comes out with a Defender case, I am sure it will seem way too large. Otterbox cases are huge.

I had an Omnia 1 before. I went to the Sprint store and tried out the Evo demos when they were sold out. I remember thinking the EVO didn't seam THAT big. When the DROID X was released, went to the Sprint store and picked one up. (The Droid X is slightly taller, slightly narrower, and slightly thinner than the EVO) I remember that I thought my Omnia 1 was a perfect sized phone in my hand but wished the screen was bigger. The Droid X is a perfect sized screen, and is slightly larger in my hand than I might wish it to be, but I can't have it both ways.

Bottom line is I won't give up my 4.3in screen.... period. I even have the clear case on my "X" now and that doesn't bother me, size wise. I will eventually remove the clear case, not because it makes the phone to big, but because I have a desk doc and a car doc and the "X" doesn't fit in them with the clear case on it. When I do remove the clear case, I'll have a smaller phone. At least my mind will think so.

I'm extremely satisfied with my Droid X! Size and all.....

Maybe on paper, but have you held an X? It feels much smaller because it is so thin and the screen is a little narrower making it easier to grip. My wife agrees.

I've ONLY held an X, never read the paper specs.

I'm not saying it's too big and I'm not saying the size would keep me from buying one if I was on Verizon.

I'm just saying it's a good bit bigger than the Evo.

The Evo feels like a brick compared to my X. You're in for a rude awakening if you think the X is too big yet you're getting an Evo (according to your profile).

i love it its perfect i think. i cant look at another phone now

 

[DROIDing]

I'm surprised no one offered up a "THAT'S WHAT SHE SAID!" remark yet!

That being said... I don't think the Droid X is too big; I wear loose fitting clothing, and with the improved camera and lack of a sliding keyboard, I would guess it saves pocket space while on vacation especially.

 

[CRPercodani]

I have a Evo and my boss has a X, the X definitely feels lighter in hand and a bit thinner. The Evo's back is more rounded/curved and seems to have a more natural feeling in my hand, but it's also my daily phone so I am more accustomed to the shape of it. I probably would have gotten the X but the Evo already had ROM's so that pretty much sealed the deal.

 

[teknonoob]

I had the Incredible before the X, but returned it and was given the option to get the X. Got the X on launch day and have been happy with the size. I recently went into a verizon store for accessories and played with the Incredible again and I thought wow this phone is tiny. Glad I got the X instead.

4.3 is a great size, not too big and just big enough.

The 5 inch screens coming out, would initially appear to large to me, imho.

 

[Booya]

The Droid X is the perfect size for me. Loving the screen real estate. Never got that feeling like I'm holding a tablet against my ear.

 

[Stealthman]

I thought it would be too big but it's not. It takes up less space in my pocket than my BB Tour did.

 

[Szadzik]

If anyone thinks DX is too big it can only mean that they bought the wrong phone. The phone was made to be big and only for those who want big phones. If someone does not want a big phone go and buy a smaller one and do not try to make the big one smaller.

 

[esn]

Use your X for a week or so then try a droid or incredible and you will see it is not to big.

I also got the feeling that the phone was too big. I love it. I love the screen, I love the speed, responsiveness. But I don't like pulling it out of my pocket, trying to use it. Or trying to use it one handed (I have kids and usually only have 1 hand free). Only problem is, there's no way I could ever go back to a smaller screen. I used my husband's Droid and couldn't type on it. Typos all over, that screen was TINY. I expect I'll have to get used to the size of the device since there's no way I'll ever be able to go back to 3.7 inches.

 

[Dark Matter]

At first I thought it was too big from pictures. Once I got it and used I saw that its just the perfect size. My only complaint is that the buttons aren't touch, but that's my personal preference. I love my Droid X.

This is me to a T. Love everything about the phone, but it's tricky one-handed. And I'm like you, I have two crazy little boys, 2 and 4, so I'm lucky to have one free hand.

It feels much better than the Incredible. Held the Incredible in a local VZW shop and it felt bulky. I think it's because the X is so thin and smooth.

 

[HalfFrozen]

My wife likes it big...

Never heard the Incredible accused of bulkiness... it feels tiny when I hold it now, as does the original Moto Droid.

 

[IAmJamie]

I am coming from an iPhone 3G to the Droid X and it is definitely MUCH bigger but it is the perfect size for my monstrous hands. I have been using my Droid X for over a week now and I just picked up my iPhone 3G today to use in my car and return a call, and wow what a difference it was.

You can make calls on your iphone? Crazy talk!

 

[deercreek]

I pocket carry it and honestly feel like it weighs less than my enV Touch. It is thinner so it feels better in my pocket as well. The only time I feel like it might be too big is when my hand goes numb from playing too much Basketball Shot. It took a bit to figure out the best way to hold it in landscape too keep my fingers from going numb(at first I was doing a death grip because no way I want to drop it).

AWESOME!!! I was waiting to read something like this!!! LMAO!!!

 

[CriticalMass]

For a phone: It's too big.

But I don't use it as "just a phone" I remote in to my notebooks, surf. Edit resumes. watch video. etc.

It's my super-mini-notebook.

and it's an excellent size for all of that.
