It looks like this time around the Droid x is going to get the gingerbread build before us
Hands-on with Gingerbread on Droid X http://bit.ly/dH0pvV
Does anyone remember that when our evo got froyo, Droid x got it a few weeks later! What you guys think?

I think there is already a thread about gingerbread on the evo here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=866245
This thread make it seem like the Droid X and the Evo are both by HTC. Droid X is Motorola.

Yea it seems that not only are motorola phones gonna beat us...but maybe *gasp* samsung as well. Definitely something to consider when buying HTC it seems.
I'll eventually be a google phone only guy with all the carrier/manufacturer bs going on.

Yeah that's the only reason that I'm reconsidering to get the evo 3D for nexus s but the GPS issue with Sammy's phones piss me off if it would made HTC it would be a non brainier, I know HTC is delaying to update the HTC evo to make people buy the new phones but I don't think is right, at the end I might end up staying with my evo and get the ipad 2 I got apps on my iPhone the looks like.they got ipad support so wouldn't have to buy them again LOL

And this is why I'm leaning towards a Nexus S over the Evo 3D.
i saw this thread just before i made one with the exact same topic. you beat me to it.
ya i agree. samsung has leaks out for some galaxy s already, most of which are still eclair btw, and now motorolla has leaks for the droid x and 2? what the hell is going on here? isnt htc supposed to be the company that comes out with everything first? when gb came out, there was a thread that said htc would update ~ February, motorolla around april, and sammy like summer. this seems completely backwards to me.
and didnt an htc rep say they were working on gb for evo around when nexus s was announced? i kno implementing sense is hard and takes a lot of difficult coding and stuff, but 4 months should be more than enough time for paid professionals.

Exactly what they want, Hell if we can get GB with sense 2.0 I'm sure most people are still going to buy the Evo 3D, it's a dual core phone! Of course most of us will buy it.
I hope the update comes with Sense 2.1. It has some sweet features.

If they pushed 2.3 for the EVO before the EVO3D was released it would actually make me want to buy the 3D more.
When I go to buy a phone now that I have experience with them.. I will look for a couple major things.
1. Battery life. Let's face it, new features are nothing if your phone dies in 6 hours.
2. Manufacturer/Dev support. If the EVO only gets one update then has to wait until the latest thing comes out before it gets another... then that's a HUGE setback for me, especially if we have a locked bootloader and AOSP roms aren't possible.
Samsung has a horrible rep but the battery life on their phones are reportedly outstanding. They aren't locking the phones down. They did stink it up in a HUGE way with the 2.2 update but if they push 2.3 out ASAP it goes a long way in my eyes.
I HATE HATE touchwiz, but if the phone isn't locked down then it doesn't much matter.
Samsungs phones are locked as well... the evo is too. Motos new phones are encrypted which is the problem.

I think a lot of people thought exactly what I thought. I saw the galaxy getting the official leak and thought what is going on. Htc is usually first on the scene with this type of stuff. Then today I saw motorola getting some love from the leaks. If both companies drop gingerbread before htc it will look bad on htc. They will be on 2.2 and everyone else on 2.3 and with the evo being seen as one of the best, it would be a shame. I hope HTC changes their mind and just drops gingerbread. I will even take Sense 2.0 and nothing else right now. The new features can come later.

Agree I don't care much for gingerbread what I want the most is a 100% working sense 2.0 desing for Evo with 4G , I know myn work in a nnice rom but I'm sure everyone agrees when I say that if HTC realese will be more stable and all features working and let EVO developers get their hand on it
Sent from my PC36100 using Tapatalk
i think...
moto and sammy are doing market clean up and PR repair.. knee jerk reaction to some surveys done last month about which OEM is faster and better support of upgrades/updates. HTC as at the top of most.
so here is moto and sammy trying to get public favor back. before they release their next big phone. and as most knee-jerk reactions.. the implementation will not be stable and full of bugs.. or low in features.
then back to waiting for the fixes and updates for the upgrade issues.
HTC is staying the course with their proven market strategy.
but I do hope that the quick release of gb on moto and sammy will quicken the gb release from htc on evo!

Galaxy S isn't on Verizon. The variant the fascinate is. Being a former fascinate owner stick with the X. Even with the voodoo lagfix Droid x is far more stable. Sure the super amoled is nice as well a better gaming performance, but it's not worth the lag and hiccups from the fascinate.
If you want development, go with the fascinate.

no im actually quite serious
now i love android and i also hate the iphone with a bloody passion but in reality with locked bootloader on almost every new device made by the main manufactures(HTC, Motorola, and now samsung) makes it near impossible to make your phone yours and even with root access what can you really do that a jailbroken iphone cant?
i mean you dont have to use itunes and such but seriously it isnt hard to jailbreak an iphone and free it from itunes
in reality though the droid x will never be a droid 1, or a HTC Dream(G1) for that matter
EOL for the droid x is coming up and chances are that 2.3 is going to be the last OTA for the droid x and after that your stuck on 2.3 or what ever version manufactures leave you on until you buy a new device
at least the iphone will last 2 years before it stops getting updates
I picked up a DX on craigslist about a week ago to check out why people were leaving the Fascinate for it. I chose a Fascinate over the DX last fall and only regretted it until the first froyo leaks for it showed up.
In my opinion (grain of salt check) a froyoed Fascinate is a better phone than a froyoed DX. Development seems to be roughly the same in terms of quantity and the quality of development on the Fascinate feels better. My camera/camcorder works, bluetooth doesn't kill the battery, GPS is fixed.
I haven't played around yet with gingerbread (yeah, I'm waiting...) So I can't comment there. Sleigh it looks like fully functioning GB is right around the corner and there is a handicapped one out now for the Fascinate.
This is totally subjective, but the Fascinate is more comfortable to hold also. My DX is probably going to last another week before hitting "The 'bay".
Galaxy S II should be out in 1-2 months. Just wait and get that. Far better than either the Galaxy S or Droid X.
Wow I need to delete this thread because my dad is soooooooo gay and made me get a piece of **** phone. **** this is awesome.
Dx by a mile. Bigger screen, better camera, you will get manufacturer updates. Anyways, wait for the bionic or get a thunderbolt.

Although I agree with most of that as I also suggested droid X. Fasinate has a far better camera. People think more MP equals better. In this case it doesn't. Of every phone I have ever owned Fascinate has the best camera.
I dont think you guys understood could only get the samsung......but now i have a working dx
I`m going to be using the phone for a few months to see how the iPhone 5 pans out. I need to get rid of my ATT line, so please dont say wait for the SGS2 or Bionic.
I notice the X2 dev community is like none existant.
Pretty much should I get a DX offa ebay and keep my upgrade for the iPhone 5 OR should I get the Dx2 at contract price and flip it in the future and pay the diff for the iPhone?
I know most of you guys hate the iphone, but thats another convo.
I like that the DX2 is dual core, but idk I`m torn.
I would go with the reg x and save your upgrade for the iPhone 5 or whatever. The x has miui.us and CM7
Definitely go we the X. Development has really taken off lately with the release of 2nd-Init, also, in my opinion, support is great for the X.
Sent from my DROIDX using XDA App
would you guys say devs arent messing with the DX2 cause of the bionic, or the locked bootloader? Like I said the dual core is very attractive, but yea
I'm not sure y devs aren't really working on it but I dont think it would be one of those 2 reasons
Sent from my DROIDX using XDA App
Hey everyone, just curious with opinions, should I stay with my droid x or buy the droid bionic when it comes out, take in mind I would have to pay full retail, thanks guys
DROID X running liberty GB V.8
I'm having the same thought as you. But retail? That's my drawback. Plus there has been so much happening in the last 2-3 months with the X. roms galore. So in the end I think I'm going to wait and watch. If it comes to the point that so many modders focus strictly on the bionic, that may make me jump on board sooner.
Yeah, retail and all the roms coming out for the X are starting to hold me back to, i will probably wait, and watch
DROID X running liberty GB V.8
Is the bionic confirmed unlocked?
Sent from my ADR6350 using XDA Premium App
There's so many phones coming out in the next month in a half, if having Motorola isn't a must, go ahead and wait.
Although right now development r the X is great, and we don't know whether Motorola will live up to there promises and unlock the bootloader in the Bionic.
Sent from my DROIDX using XDA App
I had the same urge before, but after cm4dx came out I see no point of buying a new phone until Ice Cream Sandwich hehe.
I just got my Droid X and I am coming from an OG Droid. This thing is WAY faster and so much smoother. AND THEN I put CyanogenMod 7 on this thing and now I am in love for real. Only thing the community needs is an open bootloader for custom kernels and I would be golden. I believe I am going to have to hold off on a newer phone, but I do get an upgrade in November. So I think I will sit back and watch what happens as well. Fingers crossed for an unlocked bootloader.
Thinking of the same thing.
I would have been eligible for annual upgrade. Now they discontinued.
What to do???
I'm going to wait it out. Droid X has been very good especially running Liberty GB. It will be interesting to see how the Bionic does though.
I'm eyeing up the nexus prime myself. If verizon does get it and the specs are what everyone is saying they will be or better I will probably be picking it up upon release.

No phone is worth full retail.
I'm no longer going to lock myself into contracts.
I was interested in the Bionic until I started reading about the Droid HD possibly coming later this year, which looks better to me than the Bionic.

If you are waiting for the ultimate phone to spend $600 on, you will never do it. From the time super mega killer phone X is announced and finnally released, super mega killer phone Z is in the works with even better specs, etc. You can't win. Keeping up with the latest electronics is a waste of money. I suggest you wait until the Bionic is out a couple of weeks and see what the reviews are before you decide. Might be a turd.

Of course, but if you keep waiting for the next best thing you'll never buy anything.
If the Bionic comes next month, and the HD in October, I can wait for the HD. It has a bigger and better screen than the Bionic.
im thinking the bionic
The bionic 2 is such a beast I will wait for that.
Unless you have money to burn, burn wait until later in the year. I got my x on launch day, and I'm eligible for an upgrade (according to the guy at the version store who I have worked with a lot) in December. The I'm sure that I'm not alone. Besides, the x, really isn't that far out of date yet. It will be around new year. The moral of the story, and just wait a little while longer.
Sent from my DROIDX using XDA Premium App
Yeah I'm eligible for upgrade in October. The bionic looks great but I'm sure if I wait a bit longer they'll announce a DX3 or something that will stomp bionic. Not to mention, 4G for Verizon is still very limited so I'd want to buy a phone that not only has power, but a network where that power could flourish.

Blah. Atrix 2 is just a weak attempt to bring up the rear. Moto screwed up the og atrix by unlocking the bootloader so late in its life cycle, then bringing a sequel to the atrix 7 months after release.
I voided my warranty and your mum.
Theres people asking them on there facebook page if the atrix 2 will get ics. I also told then the og atrix people want continued support for the og atrix. Heres what they said.

Motorola We'll be releasing devices for ICS 6 weeks after Google releases the final version of it. What do you like most about your ATRIX 2 so far? Have you tried the universal lapdock?

Meaning they will release a list of devices that will get the ICS update. It doesn't say anywhere in either reply that they won't issue ICS updates.

And you know this from experience or just like saying things are garbage based on just looking at specs?
I'm glad that there are people that are still completely happy with their OG Atrix as it is a fantastic phone. What I don't understand is why some feel there is a need to bash another phone that doesn't meet their standards or other people because of the type of phone they choose to buy. If you are happy with what you have, great! What might be right for one does not make it right for all... please keep the negative comments and personal attacks out of the forum.

I wasnt dogging the atrix 2 as a phone. I have no experience with it. Im just saying moto bombed with the first atrix and atrix2 wont help umless they unlock the bootloader soon. Note the boatload of developers on atrix. Im very appreciative for all the hard the few developers we have have done but im betting history will repeat itself and galaxy nexus looming on the horizon doesnt help.
I voided my warranty and your mum.
Oh atrix peeps probably mad because 7 months later their phone has been replaced and placed into a trash can by Motorola. I'd feel mad also, they should have just named this phone something else to keep everybody happy. Motorola Galaxy S 4g would have been fine lol. This phone reminds me of it at least. Still lovin it!
