i gave it an inquisitive tug, then realized what it was for. poorly labeled for sure.
Yeah, except for the one that was also on it that said "do not cut". Indicated to me that it might be an important part of the phone.

I lost my faith in humanity solely due to this thread...come on guys, we android users are supposed to be the smart ones
I hope no iPhone users find this thread.
Haven't any of you had devices with a pull tab for the batteries? Remote controls, cameras, phones, etc?

If you take two seconds to actually look at the tab there is nothing to lead you to believe that it should be removed. Yes I know it says "pull" and "do not cut", but look what it is attached to. Why on earth would you need to rip that out? The battery contacts are clearly visible.
Common sense goes a long way. So does reading the manual. Just my 2 cents.

I can't believe people are acting like we're idiots for pulling it off. Read WHAT manual? As far as I saw it said nothing about this tab in the booklets that came with the phone. I looked before throwing the thing out. I'm sorry I didn't closely inspect what I thought was a piece of trash. I've never seen anything like this on any device before. Kudos if it makes you feel superior that you knew not to pull it out.
I am assuming this is the manual you are talking about.
Please, do me a favor and tell me on what page is says not to pull anything that is labled pull. Thanks in advance for your help. I must be too dumb to find it.
When you receive your Droid X and are about to put the battery into the back you will see a tab telling you to pull it. You will not find it mentioned anywhere in the instructions and its presence is an oddity.
DO NOT PULL IT OUT!
It is supposed to help you get the battery out when you have it in. If you pull the whole thing like indicated the backing will completely rip out.
