I was wondering. Should I switch from droid x to samsung fascinate? I've had the vibrant. I liked it. Just wondering if it's worth getting.
Sent from my DROIDX using XDA App
Having recently picked up a DX on craigslist just to see what all the hype is about, I can say that I think the Fascinate is the better phone. Also, I think dev wise we have the edge. Plus it's more comfortable to hold than the X. I haven't really played with gingerbread on the X though, but I'm hoping we'll have that fully working soon anyway.
Back on C-list for the X!
Fascinate is better. Camera is better, screen display is better, performance is better, battery life also better too

I personally like the fascinate better.
Sent from my SCH-I500 using XDA App
After shopping for phones last year and comparing the two i picked the SF because it was thinner ( didnt have that buldge) and the screen was brighter and sharper.
I like the DX better, The fascinate might win spec wise, but the DX isn't Samsung so it will actually receive updates. I also the the DX has a better feel.

So the only 'pro' you gave was that the droid x receives updates? How does that make it better? lol.
I was wondering if it's worth 200. Some girl wants to sell it.

Check vzw.com for refurbished fascinates. Don't know if it required a new contract, etc. but it was 50 bucks or so.

I just traded my x for this fascinate. I like both, sf has a killer screen. Droid x is a beast I had ginger on it and it was way fast. I like trying new things. I personally think the battery life is better on the x. They are both great phones. As far as updates go. You can find many roms that will fit your needs thanks to our great devs!

Get the Fascinate ....I switched from a D2 (same as X but with a keyboard) cuz of the locked bootloader ...ROMs for the D2/X are ok ...but you're always gonna base them off Blur and never truly have a Vanilla rom ...plus the vibrant has a better display its super light compared to both batt life is amazing ....oh and another thing MiUi ^_^

I haven't tried the droid 2 but I have the droid x
So far I have really loved this phone. 4.3 inch screen is awesome, the processor is great, and the camera and hdmi is just fantastic. I did have issues with the first phone I received, the camera didn't take as good quality as I thought it should. Now that the X has a rom called Liberty it is even that much more awesome.
I have processed my exchange for a Droid X. Looking forward to it!

I love my DX. I came from an iPhone and will never look back unless iOS changing a few things. If you pick the DX you will love it. HTC does make great phones but the size of this screen makes other things feel obsolete

They are similar in specs. You should play with the Evo at a Sprint store. Most have it on display now.
Well Evo seems easier to root with unrevoked and screen is almost the same, I hate hump in the back of the droid tho, and I got tired of motorola phones (bad speakers in most the I owned ) so I stick with the Evo and HTC if you want veruzon you should wait for the thunderbolt.or incredible s to come out , thunderbolt is an Evo redesing with new sense and inc s is almost the same just smaller

Sent from my DROIDX using XDA App
The specs are pretty much the same.
So in my opinion:
form factor: I like the evo. It's nice, slick, flat and sexy. The droid x has that awful bump on the back and is hideous. Winner: Evo
UI: Motoblur's happenings widget is badass, but HTC Sense is faster, better looking and more usable. The widgets are nice and don't slow the system down. Winner: Evo
Root: Don't know Droid X root method, but the Evo was by far the easiest root I've ever gotten (coming from the MyTouch Slide and the G2). Winner: Evo
Roms/dev support: We got CM, which means we have THE BEST AOSP roms on earth. We've got half a dozen fantastic sense UI roms (Myn, MikFroYo, Konikub's Elite, etc) and they're always updated and supported. Plus, a bunch of themes. Winner: Evo
I'd get an Evo, but you should try one out at the store before making a decision. Some people really like their Droids.

You have to download the HTC drivers, Android SDK (which any rooted android user should already have) and UnRevoked. Then open unrevoked and root. All done. There's an FAQ around here somewhere...

I would not get a phone that can't handle an SD card. The S looks sweet but thats it IMO. I had a Fascinate and I swore I would never get a Samsung device again because of the lack of software updates. I had an INC and liked it. Its all a matter of taste. I have had a Droid X and the original Droid and out of all the phones I like the EVO the best and my second would be the original Droid..go figure.
if you go verizon, get the thunderbolt.
at&t the atrix.
t-mobile id get the mytouch4g or wait for the lg 3d phone.
for sprint id wait for the nexus s or the evo3d.

Good Choice you've made there.
Just think there will be plenty of more phones soon that would be much better than Thunderbolt =D
Yeah it's not really worth an upgrade IMO until LTE is widespread and dual core phones are established.
The current generation of 2.2 ROMs are shockingly fast, stable, and battery thrifty.
I'll still give any vzw rep a hard time for the meagre support this phone had received, but secretly I am really pleased with the latest superclean. Thank goodness there was no exodus before the EB01 roms were so thoroughly tweaked.
It's thinner (ok slightly) than a thunderbolt and fully unlocked. I love that I can save it from the brink of brick with Odin. It'd be nice to have dual cameras or LTE but I have no justification for bailing before Q3 or Q4. I want a higher resolution screen and perhaps HDMI out.

I totally agree. The Tbolt isn't a bad phone, but I think having the "latest thing" has hyped it a bit more than its worth, especially with 4G not being everywhere. I checked it out at a Vzw store, and I love the size of my Fascinate compared to the tbolt. It fits a pocket a lot better, its just so small and thin. Screen is better too.
Overall though, I think waiting for more competition is a solid choice, but of course I don't blame anyone for wanting the newest phone out there, especially if they have 4G in their area.
Thinking about waiting for the next big thing makes me think about all the new phones coming out for T-Mobile. Too bad they'll be internet-less smartphones later on....

I had an original Droid before the Fascinate. A lot of good qualities but the weight drove me nuts. Newer phones like the thunderbolt weigh quite a bit more and you feel it. With the ROMs we have now, it's hard to justify an upgrade.

dev for fascinate are doing all they can for our phone - if you have updated your phone with the current ROMs and kernels your phone should be running GREAT

Coming from a tech perspective, I never see them come in for repairs though they may be indicative of little we sell of them, it's still a great little phone, probably one of the best for your money in terms of an entry level phone. Budget level android phones have come a long way, and the Conquer is a great example of that.
