Ok, here's my story.
I currently have a HTC Droid Eris and I am in the need of a new phone. Other people with other Verizon phones get better service up here than I do, the GPS doesn't work, and my phone has broken 5 times with me getting the same replacement phone each time.
I've been researching the Droid X and I've really liked how responsive it was and how it didn't freeze up when switching screens and such. I know that the Droid (the first one) has a good signal up here because my parents had full bars when they came to visit me.
Ideas?
Buy a Droid 1 for half the price?

They told me that they don't sell the Droid 1 anymore and I don't want to buy a used one. They offered me a refurbished HTC Diamond for $250 or so which I think is total ****.
U should add a line. U pay a lil more monthly but u get the phone for 200

I always think it's worth it just to shell out the money to buy the phone full price. That way you don't have to worry about a contract, and worst case you always have the option to sell the phone if you needed money/moved/change carriers, and you'd recoup a decent amount of it because you wouldn't have an early termination fee.
The X is a huge step of from the Eris, I'd say go for it.
Agreed

Go for it. I stand by this phone completely. It's my favourite of the current gen smart phones.

What about the fact that Motorola is coming out with a 2GHz phone this year and that the recommended specs of a phone for gingerbread are 1GHz, 512RAM and something else?
Just found this out.
I say go for a droid incredible not as big a screen but a better phone and this is coming from someone that is carrying a DX

Having the droid X and coming from the eris I would 100% say that it would have been worth it to pay full retail. I added a line so that I could pay 200 now. In the end I will wind up paying full retail but not such an upfront hit.
Get the HTC Incredible. I have the droid x and after all the bs moto has pulled with their handsets released after the OG Droid, if I had known then what I know now I would have gotten the DINC. Of course my opinion is based purely on the ability to hack and customize. For someone wanting an " out of the box" non hackable phone the droid x would be a good choice.

I'm looking for a broken droid x and of course someone willing to give it for free. The reason im looking for a droid x is because mine has the camera switch broken after i took it apart. I would buy a new camera switch, but the damn part is like 14 bucks + 10 shipping and i suppose that a free one would cost way less than that. Well, that is all and thanks.
*I'm willing to pay for shipping.
Dude I just bought a new camera switch/button for my DROID x yesterday:
5$ free shipping
Just ebay DROID x camera button
He had like 8 when I ordered hope that helps

I can't use ebay. I got fed up one day with paypal and i refused to provided them with personal information and my account is limited at this time.
Why not ask if you can mail them a check? Or money order? Google checkout? Just give paypal your info? Lol
Well gl with the search regardless

I would do that but not many people are willing to do that and i dont blame them.
Thanks for the reply!
Is it possible for me to use the digitizer from another Motorola Droid phone and use it on my Motorola DROID RAZR M because I don't want to pay anywhere from $130 to $240 for a new digitizer

I would say no unless you got one from a used M, it might be possible to use one from another Moto phone but it would be best to use the same thing that came with the phone. If you use something else you can run into a busload of issues.

Joining the club... Hopefully this is the one.
Selling my HTC one because I cannot stand the button on the top and the damn lack of cases and such.
So...since I just dropped 400 bucks on this badboy, can you guys share your experience to calm my wallet nerves?
My dev edition Moto x is on the truck for delivery. Selling my Droid maxx (4.4 unrooted).
Gonna miss the battery life, would have got a dev edition maxx if they were in stock. But I lived with a galaxy nexus for 2 years so should be good with the X.
The droid is the same hardware with a bigger screen (same resolution, higher PPI on the moto x = sharper images without having to stretch to reach the corners), so I know I'm gonna love the experience, with the added bonus of being able to root no matter what update they send out.
Stock rom and xposed is the sweet spot on these devices!
I grabbed the Dev edition during that $100 off/1 hour promo ... Had the Note 3 at the time and thought that the x would be a 14 day experiment. A week later I listed my N3 on Swappa! Loving the x!!

My 1053 is on its way. Can you clarify this? What will Motorola do if I brick it? Unbrick it or give me another one, no questions asked?

I ditched my Note 3 for the GSM DE. I'm not regretting it. The Moto X has proven to me that thoughtful engineering (both hardware and software) beats anything that is the result of competition in the "spec wars".

Of course 'within reason'. If you physically fry your phone cause you rooted and did such: they're not going to warranty the physical damage. However if it's software like in the simple case where it bootloops over a single value recursive value then they're not going to be as adamant in denying you if you own the DE phone. Unlike the case with returns where you're forwarded a code: you'll simply send in the phone and wait for repairs like typical cases with phone repairs.
Final check out price
What is the final check out price of the moto x? I mean the taxes and other charges that apply.

wont taxes vary by location? Example, PA has 6% sales taxes, where DE has 0%.
Web site says $379.99 * Taxes and shipping charges may apply. At one time (back when I got my X Dev Ed) moto did have free shipping on orders above a certain amount, and it was posted on their web site. Its not posted now, so I'm not sure if they still have it.
I got rid of my Note 3 for the GSM DE as well. I never regret that decision.

Moto were giving $70 discount for the moto x so it came to $379 + taxes and shipping extra.. This price was 32gb of the GSM model as well as the developer edition. Now there is no offer.
Anyone here own more than one Moto X? I have one and am thinking about ordering a second one before the sale ends today.
Why? And why not?
Sent from Moto X
Just wondering if anyone else out there enjoys this phone enough to buy another one. Especially, considering this could be the last great Motorola phone to grace our palms (dependent on what Lenovo does of course).
Is the sale ending today ?I mean the 399$ sale?

The $70 off unlocked Moto X sale is supposed to end today.
16gb - $329.
32gb - $379.
I have two of them. Makes it much easier to experiment. I have bought all of mine off of craigslist though for great deals so I can sell them for more then I paid if needed.(already done that with one)
I accidentally have two

3 Here. Started out by ordering one for my Daughter when we were switching to T-Mobile from VZW... figured it'd be an ok 'starter device'.
After the wife and I put it through it's paces for 4-5 days.. we decided to order 1 for each of us as well.
We have 2 in the house, wife liked mine and got one a month later.

No. That sounds like a very foolish idea.
I have two. One I bought as a spare when they were $350.

Motorola extended the sale to Feb 22nd. In case you want to think on it a bit longer...

I have a white/olive one and a black/ebony on the way. I also have a Maxx. My daughter and son both have moto xs.
Got one for the wife and like it so well that I talked VZW into upping my contract date three Months so I could retire my HTC Rezound. Chris

My family finally upgraded our plan last month (Our plan was so old, Best Buy's computer system couldn't handle it) and we all got Motomaker Moto Xs.
I got one to replace my broken Droid DNA and I love it so much, both my wife and my mom were jealous of the stuff it can do. My wife just got one and my mom is thinking about it.
If I got a second one it probably be for the wooden back. I dont see a practical reason to have two phones. Unless your drug dealer

Some need more than one for work. Some need another as a back-up because they are prone to destroying things by accident. Some just want more than one. There's three.
I understand having more than one phone for personal use...if you have nothing better to spend money on....but it makes more sense to me if they're two different phones. That's just me tho.
I will have 2 soon actually ...but one will be the wife's.

I will consider another one if it become $199 like the N4.
