I dunno about everyone else, but I love my HTC Sense UI and HTC EVO. I got my EVO back on Friday after waiting a week. I lost my first one at Six Flags NJ on a roller coaster. Went all day with it and then on the last ride we went on, it falls out. The Incredible/EVO have some crazy long wait times depending on where you get them. I got mine from Asurion (Sprints insurance company) in a week. Put the claim in on Monday and had the phone on Friday. ---

I’ve never seen a smartphone with such a fragile screen. IMO HTC makes the best quality smart phones, those things are tanks. You have had issues with your droid screen? I have only ONE very minor mark on my screen/entire phone after having it since it came out and never having a case of any sort on it. Granted I try to be careful with it but on the other hand it gets a ton of use and I am a mechanic using my phone throughout the day ---

Anyways i’ve droped mine face down, on its side, face up, on its end and havent broken my screen I think calling the motorola phones garbage due to a screen is odd anyways ---

Got my Droid X this morning… First impressions, its a big phone… slightly bigger than my co-workers evo. It feels pretty nice in the hands and its damn quick, the “moto-blur” like features they added is really nice… I’ll write something up in a day or two after some heavy use. ---

LMAO, Is the bootloader on the Evo locked? Unfortunately Motorola decided to lock the boot loader on the X, so custom roms are looking grim at the moment, I will root it eventually but its fine how it sits for now Also wayne, the only thing your evo has on my X is 4G, which well, you pay 10 extra a month for when you don’t have it. Go look at some benchmark test evo vs Droid X ha Anyways, can’t wait for Froyo, will make evo and droid x serious beasts ---

there is no comparison really…between the evo, the iphone4g and the old droid VS the droid x…Hardware and soon software wise…the Droid X is better than all of them…I mean of course unless you like a kick stand for your phone :gay anyone go play with a droid x…you will walk away prolly talking about an upgrade in the future. and I dont even have a droid. blackberry FTW. bbm son. bbm. ---

Not too bad. I don’t text nearly as much while driving as I did with my Pre (physical keyboard), but it’s still not too bad with Swype. ---

You have to look at the screen to swype right? I’m at the point with my physical keyboard that I dont look at it as much when typing. ---

I’m at the point with my physical keyboard that I dont look at it as much when typing. Yeah that’s what I liked about the Pre. I ALWAYS have to look at this keyboard to type. One thing with swype though. It SUCKS in Landscape. Some of the keyboard seems to get cutoff (like enter and send). I have version 1.56 I think (the one I sent Wayne), so it’s possible this just wasn’t made for the EVO or there is a newer version somewhere.
