I have iphone 4...solid phone but the droid incredible my buddy has is awesome too.

i just went up to the store and messed around with the incredible and x, the x seems a little big,ill prolly go with the incredible,i do like the fact that they have the navigation built in so you dont have to pay extra and the internet seems way faster than my iphone, i just need to talk the gf into switching because we are on a family plan, shes all hung up on her iphone still

I wouldn't go with a droid x.

Droid incredible.... unless you are like me and have fat fingers, and need an actual keyboard.... I have the motorola droid.

lee · 07-25-2010, 04:54 PM

im thinking the incredible just cuz i like the smaller size better, but why do you recomend the incredible over the x ? and is there any type ipod thing like the iphone on these phones?

I have the Droid X. I swithced from the Blackberry Storm II. Several friends with Iphones that have played with my Droid X all love it.

So far my favorite feature is the swype keyboard. No need to worry about finger size and touching the wrong letter. You hit the first letter and drag your finger around to the different letters in the word you are spelling and it prints it... You do not have to worry about not going straight to the next letter.... it will either figure out what you're trying to spell, or throw options up for you to select.

The screen size is amazing, though I realize some would think it too big. The apps are endless and more are added every day....

I read in another thread about the auto linking to the Camaros viz bluetooth... and after mine was coded to match, it hooks up with no problem.

The 8mb camera and HDMI output is pretty neat...
Still playing with those...

I Love It.... Don't think you could go wrong....

The bluetooth thing works with any phone that has bluetooth....it's not special to the Dorid....my crackberry and my old phone worked...
Just sayin...

I set up my Samsung Captivate this weekend to work with my Camaro via bluetooth. Took about 5 minutes total to setup (both radio and phone). If you going to stick with AT&T, I'd check out the Captivate. A lot of people seem to really like it, or maybe they were just paid to.

I love my Droid X. It's big, but for me it is a plus. Everyone comments on how clear and loud my voice is on their end. One reason I like the bigger screen is using it while I am on the treadmill. I can set it up on the treadmill and watch a movie without having to hold it close to me to see it. These old eyes like that.

A friend of mine just got the new DRIOD. WOW!

boxmonkeyracing · 07-26-2010, 12:58 PM

I currently have the Droid incredible. It's pretty BA. The x is cool just huge.

Things I enjoy. U can stream movies from the net. Lightning fast loading . Good multitasking. And flash!

The droids aren't limited like the iPhone. Blame that on Apple themselves. That phone could do so much more. But until jobs stops acting like they are the first to do everything it will be.limited
