being on the original droid since launch, ready for an upgrade and considering the droid x2, charge ....I liked the thunderbolt but hear nothing but trouble with the battery life. I don't live in an area that has 4g yet, but I hope to have it within a year, so that is a consideration.

$249 charge: love the screen, and really love the camera! hdmi is nice but 4g could end up being a waste if Verizon doesn't bring it to my area any time soon??? (Northern NJ)

$149 droid x2: nice sturdy build, decent camera but only has 16gb...dual core should make things snappy...no 4g should it become available any time soon (one bonus for the x2 is that I got the essential bundle on sale for $20 including car dock, desk dock, wall and car charges, hdmi cable and 3.5mm cable) if I don't go with the x2 I could certainly use the hdmi cable, car and desk chargers and easily sell the docks for $20)

Its a hard call. I absolutley love the Charges screen and camera. No comparison. Battery life is good, I am unplugged for 4hrs, and the indicator is still filled. I didnt like TW, so I dl'ed LPP, and the thing is snappy. Ill let those with the X2 convince you there, but compared to my old X, I wouldn't go back. That said, if they announce a date for the GalaxyS2 before my 14 days is up, then this thing is going back.

They are names of android UI overlay softwares. Android has its basic stock UI but most manufacturers put their own UIs on the phone unfortunately that can't be removed easily.

TW=TouchWiz from Samsung. Default on all samsung androids.
LPP=Launcher Pro Plus. Very nice most famous android UI app that many love.

And there are many mores on the android market.
