I waited for an Android phone, as the previous phone I was using was the Motorola L7c for about 4 years or so.
Verizon seems to be putting a ton of marketing behind the Motorola brand (the first "Droid" wasn't that great IMO) and now this "Droid X". The Incredible is all but absent from their marketing, even their main page on their website is dedicated to the X.
It's almost like they are throwing HTC under the bus here, and I don't want to be stuck with a phone that isn't really supported from their end. Also I don't want a phone that is already outdated in just 3 months.
Also while I really like this Incredible I noticed my 4 year old Motorola phone has better call quality in the incoming speaker than my Incredible. So that is an issue too.
Thoughts? I really like what HTC has done with this phone. Battery life isn't an issue with me as I don't do a ton of web surfing and using it today from 7 AM to 10 PM it was still at 70%. So my main concern now is how the speaker sounds in your ear - not nearly as clear as my old Verizon cell phone. I tried the iPhone for a week and it almost sounds like that, and we all know how much AT&T sucks.
I activated it on July 14th so I still have time to take it back. I'm going to go play with the Droid X but it just seems way too big. It's a little saddening as I waited so long for a new phone and I'm seriously thinking about going back to my L7c - the call quality is that much of a disappointment.
