I placed my DINC order Monday and was completely content until my coworker just walked in w/ his Droid X this morning. My biggest qualm beforehand was the size, but now that I hold it in my hands it's not so bad.

I've never had an Android device but everyone tells me HTC Sense will blow me away. I need you all to convince me that the X will blow me away (if you do I'll swing by after work and cancel the DINC order and grab a Droid X). I'm not worried about specs and stuff, just user interface. What can I expect to get with the X?
 
Hell yeah, cancel that and get an X

I kinda figure I'd be in the X Fanboy-zone by posting here but that's ok. I need to know WHY though. Is sense all that great? How about once Froyo gets pushed out. I want my X to look impressive and sleek too....

If the interface can be sexy (especially after froyo) then I'll do it.

Why don't you just try the X out while you wait? You can test drive it for 30 days. If you don't like it then switch back to the Inc. You're going to be waiting for it anyways...And if it doesn't work out then you won't be disappointed because you had your heart set on a Inc. from the beginning.

That's what I would do if I were you, so what you pay $35 for restocking fee. At least you'll be happy with the phone you get for the next 2 yrs.

i mean ive only had the x for a couple hours now but it really seems like six of one, half dozen of another

- do you like the big screen or do you want the sharp amoled screen? i personally prefer the size but if you dont care one way or another about the size, the amoled looks really really sweet
- it seems to me the x is going to get faster offical android updates. however, it cant be rooted. so, if youre going to root the phone, youll get updates faster with the incredible. if you arent, you (probably) will with the x
- call quality is noticeably better on the x
- obviously i cant make a call on battery life yet

basically, if you have an incredible in your hands, the x wont make you jealous, thats for sure. on the other hand, seeing 9,000 commercials for the x a day and wondering if your phone will be supported by htc at all? well that could be frustrating

The X can't be rooted, or can't be rooted yet? I'm just getting into the Android world so forgive my ignorance but I was hoping to get to play around w/ rooting and ROMs. Also, read some places about maybe even getting a ROM w/ HTC Sense in it too maybe? Sorry, I'm talking out of my a** here but trying to piece together the whole picture...

theyre saying its going to be very very hard to root

i dont know much about the community, though, maybe people will be really excited to take the challenge and eventually do it. however, its a sacrifice i was prepared to make when i switched phones, im certainly not counting on it.

I've read that the main issue is not so much being able to root the X as the fact that the bootloader is protected, preventing installation of custom roms. Supposedly you will still be able to root though (from what I've read).

I had a Dinc for 28 days. Great phone but I traded it in for the X . I haven't had it long (couple of hours) but so far I don't think I'm going to miss the Inc. Both are super so it depends on if you want the bigger screen or not. I also like the accessories for the X they really add value to it IMO. The Multimedia Doc turns it into a nice travel or home alarm clock/media player/video player and more. The Car doc turns it into a nice GPS/music system both or top quality and turn the x into completely different devices. Way cool.
