Who LOVES the hump?

The hump, some people make a big deal, I love it, when your on a call your finger fits right in the ramp and is comfy, you can hold the phone up with 1 finger if you want... when on your desk or table, it tilts the phone up in the back a bit too.

Who else loves the big booty?
 
When I first saw the pictures of the Droid X and saw the hump, I didn't particularly like it. It wasn't a deal breaker but I would have preferred a more "balanced" look to the phone. But now that I have it, (had it since launch day) I find it doesn't bother me at all. I find it helps me hold the phone when on long calls. (like 30+ minutes) The phone is just a powerhouse and I would recommend it to anyone looking for a high-end smartphone.

Patiently/Impatiently waiting for the release of Froyo 2.2!

I didn't really think one way or another about it at first. Now, however, I agree with a few people in here who have already stated, in various ways, that it adds a bit of flavor to the design. It reminds me of the Hero, the one that US never got, and it's "chin". I didn't like that kink at the bottom when I first saw it, but as I looked at it more and saw the phone a bit more, it became a great quirk that made it stand out all that much more.

Hate it, but maybe not as much as I thought I would.
I didn't like the incredible's (my only real alternative to the X) back as well. The lens hump had its own problem - let alone that ugly "layers" design on the back. Of course, a case fixes those Inc "problems".

i use my phone a lot at work. i would prefer to use it in landscape to view websites, with the phone sitting on my desk. when i do this, the phone is at a slope. it's great when i want to use it portrait, but sadly, that's not the way i want to use it.
I agree. There's been a few times where using the phone in landscape mode, but not held in my hands, has been awkward.

But in terms of design, I dislike the physical buttons, the dead-space on the front (above the buttons, w/ the verizon logo), or the lack of a pointing device much more.
