^^how many X users are about to move on to newer devices^^

Martimus · Dec 19, 2011

It's amazing to see how all the hype surrounding the release of the GNex has created a rather pronounced division amongst it's early adopters. There are those who absolutely love the handset and those who absolutely hate it. There doesn't seem to be a lot of posts by people figuratively straddling that fence. It's a pretty decent handset... not a revolutionary device but an evolutionary one.

While I tend to occasionally miss the familiarity of my DX I guess I'm one of the folks who actually likes the new Droid Razr. I made the sacrifice and placed the handset in an Otterbox case. It's now extremely comfortable in my not-so-big hand while not nearly as bulky as the DX was in it's Trident Kracken case.

I also turned off 4G since I almost never used it. Now I can go an entire day on a single charge. Nice to know I have access to 4G though most of the time, my Razr lives on WiFi...

I think you have the secret of battery life for 4g right there

Just turn it off until needed.

I suspect you may be right! :cool:

trophynuts · Dec 19, 2011

I'm a huge fan of leaving 4G off unless needed (watching videos or downloading apps)

This might be my last week with my DX. I purchased the Nexus Saturday and I am really liking it. I have a buyer lined up for my DX. I will really hate to sell it. It has been an amazing phone even with a locked bootloader. This has been a great corner of the Android Forums! I moved up from the OG Droid and it was a great place. I hope that the GNex Forums are as helpful and kind as it was here.

See you all on the other side!

I heard it was scary and mean.

You probably should return it.

Caveman419 · Dec 20, 2011

I will come back here and hide when it gets to bad.

draconius · Dec 21, 2011

Just activated my ReZound this afternoon and DAMN this thing is SICK!

GTGD · Dec 27, 2011

My launch Droid X is still chugging along well, and I'm still very satisfied with it. Hoping it will last me as long as possible, it was definitely one of the best investments in technology I have made in a long time.

My "X" has definately been the best phone I have ever used. My biggest worry is that my next phone will be a disappointment compared to it. It has been and continues to be that good.

I'm waiting at this point to see what comes out of CES. So that means my next phone will be coming out next summer. It will definately have to have the 2nd generation 4G radio in it.

So just waiting at this point,

JrzDroid · Dec 29, 2011

I jumped to a Bionic the other day. Pretty nifty phone. Very quick and reminds me a lot of my X. And battery life is pretty good. 4G is quite damn fast too

Now someone tell all the devs from the X to jump over to the Bionic and get 2 init working correctly. I want CM9

colchiro · Dec 29, 2011

Buying a dev a new Bionic is a nice start...

spb21 · Jan 3, 2012

I was sure I would buy the GNex. I jumped on the DX at release so I had the upgrade ready. My area recently got LTE, so I have been pretty excited to give it a try. I've looked at the GNex and the Razr. Both seem lacking compared to the DX. Not that they aren't better phones, but they are not the leap forward I had with the DX (coming from blackberry). I may give my upgrade to my wife and use hers in the spring if something great comes along. I can't believe I'm saying that.

highjakker · Jan 9, 2012

i've had my X for almost a year now and it is hands down the best phone i've had. i'm not looking to get a new phone unless mine takes a dump on me and then i'll probably go with the X2...we'll see. i'm not in a 4G area so that isn't an issue. i look for reliability and ease of use.

VoidedSaint · Jan 9, 2012

reliability wise the X is by far the best iin this aspect, its a superb phone, and very durable, my X is still around, i just dont use it as my primary device.

_Aardvark · Jan 10, 2012

The the primary line on my account was due for an early upgrade (my wife's phone). I was going to steal the upgrade go from my X to a GNex, but her Blackberry broke over the weekend for no good reason (other than it's made by RIM I guess).

Sooo, I'm still rocking my launch-day Droid X for awhile longer! Which is fine, its still going strong.

She now has a Samsung Stratosphere - mainly since it was the about the cheapest keyboard-ed smart phone they had (not counting the same entry-level BB that just broke). Not a bad phone, fine for her needs (tons of email and texting). LTE so she can, ummm, download email attachments like really fast. Still, a huge step-up from the BB.

android.convert · Jan 27, 2012

No other phone out right now offers enough for me to want to leave my DX so probably going to sit tight for a bit.

old.blue · Jan 28, 2012

Razr MAXX for me. Going to get it this weekend. My good old X will be staying in the family though - my 17 year old daughter will be getting it!

VoidedSaint · Jan 28, 2012

the nexus is a great buy, until the signal strength issue is fixed it will be unstoppable

pool_shark · Jan 31, 2012

There is absolutely nothing wrong with my DX, I left it for the Nexus for 4G and larger screen.

I miss some apps from my X that are not yet compatible with ICS, and I can't wait for the javascriot errors to be fixed.

VoidedSaint · Jan 31, 2012

im also hoping the microphone bug is addressed soon... its getting annoying

kentl901 · Feb 22, 2012

BUMP. I've been struggling deciding Rezound and Nexus.

MWC is around the corner and I wonder what manufactures have up their sleeve. Especially with the next gen chips coming out, I feel confident that the LTE chipsets will be more battery friendly...

My upgrade is in March (got the X the first day it was available). I gotta say, this is the phone that I've been using the longest time. Before that I used the Storm (1 year) and the Incredible (2 months)...

hasbrobot · Feb 24, 2012

Just ordered 2 razr maxx' one for me and one for my wife, going to miss the x though..

ylexot · Feb 24, 2012

With Ubuntu for Android being announced at MWC, I definitely want to know that any phone I get will be supported before I switch.

coyote1 · Mar 1, 2012

Wife's X upgrade date is April 12. The screen is dying... she's likely gonna move to iPhone 4s

^^how many X users are about to move on to newer devices^^
