How do you feel about the X's size?

[waxlrose]

I'm gonna get a new android phone, and I torn between the incredible and the X.

I really like everything about the X, but it just seems sooooo big. I like to keep my phone in my jeans pocket and it just seems way to big to do that. Maybe I'm wrong because you can't actually try on the demo models because they are tethered to displays.

But i don't want a holster because I think they look stupid. So what is your opinion.

i was initially concerned about the size of the x. i went ahead and got it anyway. was the right move.

the device is basically a hand held computer. and when surfing the net on it, i have never wished that it was smaller.

the portability issue was solved by getting a holster that would swivel sideways. i just flip the holster to horizontal instead of vertical. carrying it around has not been any different than carrying my old phone which was smaller.

have been very satisfied with what the phone can do.

I was worried before buying it cause of the size, and since I keep it in my pocket and my pockets aren't too big... but it hasn't been a problem at all. I guess I had to get used to it a little at first (was always worried about dropping it when taking it in or out of my pocket!) but it's perfect! Very thin...

 

[Martimus]

Speaking for myself I think the size is just about perfect! It fits fine in my case or in my pocket...

I also was very skeptical on the size but now I have no regrets the buy is worth it. And I was torn between the inc and DX and coming from an eris was even harder.

Don't mind it at all. 4.3 inches really makes a difference with usability and with the latest update it's been very reliable. The 2 things I do not like about the incredible is the cheap feel and battery life. The droid X in comparison feels like a tank.

Trust me, go with the Droid X. You will love the size of the screen.

Which pocket? It isn't very comfortable in a front pocket. But it fits in your back pocket with room to spare. In fact, this phone has me thinking you could go with an even bigger phone and still fit it in your (back) pocket just fine.

With a hard case it fit in my front pocket but I knew it was there, now that I don't have a case I have to check and make sure from time to time. It's less noticeable in my pocket than my blackberry was, with my blackberry I couldn't fit it in my pocket with a hard cover.

I wear cargo pants and keep my DX in the side pocket, naked. I used to have the Inc, and I also have a Fascinate. The DX is a little bulkier, but the screen is great for everything, texting, videos, surfing the net. The DX also is built rock solid. Much better than the others I have.

 

[fearofthenight]

i was also deciding between the inc and the dx. my advice is that if your not female or dress metro go w/ the dx

I wear jeans almost every day, and carry the DX in my front pocket. Absolutely no problems at all. It's not about screen size, it's about thickness, or in this case, thin-ness. The DX it thin. I have to pat my pocket every now and again to make sure it's there. I'm a average sized dude. 6', 34-inch waist, and I don't wear no pants-on-the-ground baggy ass jeans.

+1 to the above. I'm a big guy at 6'3" and the DX fits fine in the front pocket of my Levi's. I also have a silicon soft case on my DX so its slightly bulkier than stock - but for me it doesn't create an issue.

I'd be afraid of keeping it in a back pocket - don't want to sit on it!

 

[quickaudi]

Even though the X is big and black, it will fit in your pants just fine, and your gf/wife will love its size, trust me

 

[baberz]

Well obviously if we own a Droid X we love the size. I love how big the phone is...I wouldn't have it any other way.

 

[Roxors]

+1 to baberz def a great size for doing anything and everything you want on it

If you have had a smart phone before, like the HTC xv6800, samsung i760, or any older windows mobile phone, you will actually be used to the size. I came from a line of these, with my last phone being an HTC Imagio. While it was a little shorter, the phone was fatter and all around clunkier then you would imagine. As for the X, it is perfect for me. I feel the screen ratio is just right. the 854x480 screen gives it a narrower build than the Evo, while maintaining a large, efficient screen. Try the X out, give it two days and I swear you will never go back to anything smaller than 4 inches. I still don't know how I managed to do things on a 2.8" screen...

Edit**
BTW, I am a 5'8 male. Kind of on the short side, but it feels just right.

Funny thing is that I just recently bought an Archos 70 with Froyo, but I find that the DX screen is large enough that I feel just as comfortable using it rather than the Archos....go figure.

 

[fonefreak]

The size is great. It's about time a manufacturer came out with a phone that wasn't designed with Paris Hilton in mind - dinky and toy-like. There are plenty of those on the market already.

 

[mxsjw]

It's way toooooo big...needs to be more like this.

 

[draconius]

The other day I was heavily using my X and looking at it saying...Dang I got used to the size super quick and it almost seems smaller than when I first got it.

 

[Turdbogls]

coming from the original droid, i was skeptical about the size. i really dont even notice how big it is until the guys at work hold it and say "wow...thats big"

honestly, i carry it around in my front pocket (slacks at work, jeans outside of work) with no case and it is Fine. i have issues getting it out of my pocket when i am sitting down, but thats b/c i am a fata$$...lol

the DX is thin, and the hump on the back makes it a little easier to get it out of the pocket.

HEY! LOL, I am a female, and I LOVE my DX.....When it is in landscape mode, I can use the keyboard pretty much like a desktop keyboard.

I also was very skeptical on the size but now I have no regrets the buy is worth it. And I was torn between the inc and DX and coming from an eris was even harder.

I'm in the exact same boat. Have an eris and I'm choosing bt the X and the Incredible. Can you give me some of the pros/cons of switching over aside from the obvious bigger screen or speed. Like how about Sense UI vs Blur? Thanks!

Speaking for myself I think the size is just about perfect! It fits fine in my case or in my pocket...

+1

Would not want anything else!
