I'm up for a Verizon upgrade this month and I'm not sure which phone I want next. Right now I have an eris, it's a nice phone but gets very laggy at times and can't really function in the capacity I need it to. Like running .pdf, Power Point, and Word docs efficiently. I'm looking at the Incredible, DX and D2. I'm leaning towards the X but I'm used to the Sense UI the Eris has and that interface. The sliding keyboard of the D2 is nice but not a necessity for me. I use Swype and am used to that. What's the big difference between the HTC interface and Motorola interface?
 
Oh one other thing, my Eris I'm giving to my daughter. How do I de-authorize my credit card on the phone so she can't just go buying any app she wants. Once I put my cc info into the market I'm not sure how to change it.

If your talking about Google Checkout, it's tied to the gmail account set up on the phone. That said, I would factory reset the phone and set it up for her from scratch.

Oh, and FWIW, with 8 meg of internal memory on the X, App2SD is a non-issue, IMO. I've got over 100 apps, and I've barely made a dent in it.

Droid X is a very good phone, but it does come with it's problems. For many people, it has a problem holding a 3g signal and there are a lot of software issues. Many people have had to replace there X's many times (I am on my 3rd Droid X).

You should go in with your eyes open. If you seach the forums, you will read the good and the bad. My experience hasn't been all good.

The X does not have alot of problems, maybe yours does. I have not heard about the 3g problems.

I second waiting for the Inc HD. If you must get one now it depends what you want. Do you want a phone that you can fully unlock? Go with the Inc. If you want an all around great phone but are limited with what you can do as far as rooting goes, then grab the DX.

I personally always like tinkering with my phones (OCD) and kinda miss my Inc, but for a phone and I guess thats why they call them cell phones :) I love my DX.
