I have several friends with the droid x and have rooted many of them. I wouldn't trade my evo for one///ever.

I rooted mine and all that good stuff it wasn't hard at all. Is the evo eaisier and does it have a better screen????

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

Verizon has been ripping me off for the last six months and im sick of it. And im sick of Motorola locking there bootloaders. Is sprint getting any new htc phoned similar to the evo???
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.

No. They are probably waiting for a killer device - The Echo

I love my droid!!! I don't love paying 150 bucks a month for locked a boot loader and no front facing camera. Is there a one click root for the evo or is it all about downloading drivers and that nonsense???

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...

Thanks for your help and opinions fellow android users

What phone should I trade Vibrant for?

I have two vibrants and I want to trade one of them in for another phone. What good phones am a able to trade in for?

If you get lucky, a mytouch 4g or g2. I was recently attempting to trade mine and had the most difficult time finding anyone with an equivalent phone without requiring me to throw in cash. Everyone turned me down when they found out it wasnt "the 4g vibrant" .... I'd respond that there isnt a 4g vibrant. Etc... it was such a pain, but I ended up getting an hd2 plus cash for the vibrant.
Btw, completely happy with the hd2. I wouldnt say its better or worse, both have their downsides, but im not regretting this phone. I still have my wife's vibrant, so I'm not missing out on anything.
Sent from my HTC HD2 using XDA Premium App

A nexus one would be good deal too.
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA App

G2 for sure. I went from vibrant to g2 and if your into the xda scene, its a night and day difference. 90% less brats on the g2 forums also and no dev's dropping left and right like I know they were a couple months ago when I was here.
Sent from my HTC Vision using XDA Premium App

I traded mines for an hd2+120 couldn't be happier, but I installed an ffc on my vibrant so I just said it was a 4g.

Where are you guys finding these trade offers, because I for one am getting tired of the vibrant and the community as well. :/

Thanks for the feedback guys. I'm not sick of my Vibrant I just believe that change is good and I have two Vibrants so if I miss it I can still use. I'm just lost about what phone to get....

Going to the Droid x

My Dad got me the HTC evo at the beginning of the year but now me and him want data (we were flashed to pageplus but data didn't work on them). So my question is what is the best. rom, kernal, ect for the Droid x. I just want to be ready when I get the Droid x and messing arround for days trying to get the best combination or roms and kernals.
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App

Well.
Good luck with that.
We have a locked bootloader, kid. The kernels we're provided are the kernels we get.
But as far as ROMS go...
I like Liberty. Both the froyo and gingerbread versions are great.
I haven't really played with the others...for...like 5 months.
So maybe they're holding ground too, but I wouldn't know.
Apex 2.0 is talked about a lot.
Zombie Stomped
Fission
P.S.
You're switching carriers and picking up a Droid X?
I assume you're going to lock yourself into a 2 year contract?
Not to be rude...and nothing against the X...
But this phone will be a year old in July.
The X2 is already out, actually.
I'd get something top-of-the-line for the extra $50 if you're going to be stuck with it for two years.

No my dad buys them off of craigslist. And the evo wont get 4g service but my dad got the x and it works great
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App

My advice is to influence your father to make the better choice and go for the newer device. From the purely economic point of view, buying a year old phone now results in an increased likelyhood of failure or desire for a newer phone in the two years of your contract, buying the new phone now means you are more able to make it two years without being left behind.

Not even the dx2 has 4g, you may want to do a little more research before you pick out a phone

Agree if ur looking for a 4g phone the droid x or x2 isnt for u. I have the droid x2 it doesnt have 4g

Motorola phones should be getting better since google bought them. I know people that have a razr and all of them love it and it is fast. It's just their ui that's weird. I'm a sense or aosp guy. I keep sense on my 3d but I love aosp ics on my epic

Hmm that looks nice. On screen keys smart. If the boot loader doesn't get locked down... I would think about it.
Sent From My Sprint Galaxy Nexus

As one who really likes (needs) to have a physical keyboard, the big appeal for me is the 5th row of dedicated numerals. That was the deciding factor for me over the Evo shift that was available at the time. I would prefer another Samsung, and I would prefer an unlocked bootloader. But if something happened to my epic, and this was the only phone like this available, I would buy it.

For what it's worth, our Moto Rep told us about a month ago he had an inkling that their next flagship phone for us would be a QWERTY slider. Take that for what it is, but this would reaffirm it.

Upgrade to evo lte?

Well my account is up for my upgrade in a week and just wanted a little bit more information from the rest of the guys in the community. I'm stuck between the HTC EVO LTE and the Optimus G. The G has tons of beefed up power and an OK amount or support while the evo lte has tons of rooms and just slightly slower. Any thoughts I'm leaning toward the evo but just wanted anotger opinion
Sent from my PC36100 using xda app-developers app

Bro wait. Get the one. Viperboy and others are already pushing roms for it. Wait the optimus g dev is dead and the ltevo is nothing like the og in the old days. Sadly.
Going to be more action on the One-Edit
To answer the question ltevo or lgog? Ltevo.
Sent from my EVO using xda app-developers app

I like my EVO LTE. Never played with any of the LG Android phones, so I can't really make a fair comparison. The One is a great choice in my opinion, too. The main drawback for some users will be the lack of expandable memory (SD card). There is still plenty of development with the EVO LTE, too. Just recently (within the last month or so) devs got a Sense 5 port from the One working on the LTE. There are several custom kernels that have been released, and a few of the devs who moved up to the One still have their LTE and have stated they will continue to dev for it

I am trying to decide what to upgrade to; the HTC One, Galaxy 4 or the Note 2.
Decisions, decisions!
Sent from my PC36100 using xda app-developers app

Just jumped on the OG Evo forums for the first time in over a year. I went from the OG Evo to the Evo 3D when it launched, and then preordered the Evo LTE. The LTE is a great phone and there is plenty of development for it. As much as I love HTC, I'm probably gonna pass on the One. Really wish Sprint would offer the 64GB version, but even then I don't know. I've told myself my next phone WILL have at least a 5" display. The Note 2 felt too big, surprisingly. But I really wish Sprint offered a version of the J Butterfly, like Verizon did with the Droid DNA. Not knocking the One by any means, I still may pick it up, as I usually get a new phone every year. Also, there is absolutely nothing wrong with the Evo LTE! That said though, with the One being released, I don't know if I'd choose the Evo LTE over the One. The main downfall of the One, in my opinion, is the lack of sd card slot. Especially since Sprint isn't going to offer the 64GB version! That's a big mistake for Sprint in my opinion!! I'd take an sd card slot over a sim slot any day, as I have no use for a sim slot! Really bro, you just need to go on a store and play with the One and the Evo LTE so you can really see sock one fits you best. Do keep in mind though that if you're with Sprint, or staying with Sprint anyway, 32GB is All the storage you'll have with NO ability for expandable storage!! That's the real deal breaker for me anyway! Either way, good luck with your decision! ALMOST any new smartphone(except Apple obviously! Lol!) will be an upgrade to your OG Evo!!
