This is probably not a good time for me to answer this because I have just spent two hours trying to get some pictures and some music over on my X, and finally gave up. I think I've messed up my memory card, it's not recognized. I know just enough to screw things up. Now, to be fair, I never did try to put pictures and music on my BB.

But I do miss it a smidgen. I miss picking it up and seeing all my emails and texts all in an instant, ready for me to read and delete from phone or server or however I wanted to delete it from. On the X, I scroll through screens trying to remember where I put K-9, and then scroll through some more trying to remember where I put the text app.

I know I will get better at all this, and I love all it's possiblities, it's just right now it's winning in the battle of Droid X vs Me. But eventually, I will win.

I've been using Blackberries since the b&w units years ago. Put my Storm out to pasture when I strolled into the local Verizon store on X launch day. Originally went in to possibly get a new Storm 2, but was talked into the X instead. Not sure I'm in love yet. I'd really like to synch up with Outlook on my laptop. Besides that, the X has lots of interesting bells and whistles.

BTW, all the hopeful revenue stream apps are tiresome to have on the phone without being able to dump them.

I miss BBM, and the freedom of the email service - I was also one the nuts that honestly enjoyed surepress, I hate physical keyboards & I'm new to full touchscreen. The X blows me away though, never thought I would ever have a phone like this, or phones would ever even get to this point but if there was a Storm 3, which surpassed the 2 by at least 3 times then I would still be fighting with RIM right about now.

The only thing I miss is BerryBuzz and BBM. I've heard that MissedCall does the trick, but I've also heard that it's not updated and completely working for DX. I have GTalk, but a few of my friends on BBM have yet to make the switch. But otherwise, I'm happy I made the platform switch. I love customization.


But what sucks is the led ONLY flashes when screens off =-\
