So i recently saw some info online regarding the droid x2. I currently am using a fascinate and regret every day giving up my droid x. LTE would be nice and was considering a bionic, and im not the biggest tech person and was pretty mich satisfied with my dx, what can I say hindsight is 20/20. But my question from what limited info people have seen regarding the dx2 is different from the original dx?

there isnt anything solid about it yet
if you want solid info you have to wait for it to be announced and if you dont want to wait you should get the thunderbolt, imo its a really good phone(plus it has sense which is 100000000000X better than motoblur)
The dx2 is exactly the same as the Droid x except it has a 2gb class two SD card
from what i've heard (possibly just rumors), the droid x2 will have the tegra 2 processor and will be running on the 4g lte. i also heard that its got the new qhd screen. Again, these could be all rumors so don't bite my head off, that's just what i have read.

I am certain that the dx2 is going to be on 3g but I'm not sure about the processor part
Unless virtually all of the suspected info about the Droid X2 is wrong, it's going to be a waste and Samsung/LG/HTC will be leaving it in the dust.
Frankly, it doesn't bother me, as I'm looking forward to going back to HTC at some point. I didn't think the locked bootloader on the DX would bother me much since root is the main issue, but it has; and even if HTC and everyone else locks them from here on out, it's Motorola that started it.
Just picked up the Droid X a few days ago. Man, I'm way behind.
I'll be interested to see what the actual outcome of the DX2 will be. A 3G only version doesn't seem quite right, but then again, I'm a new-comer to the whole smartphone thing.

You're thinking of Droid Binoic.
Motorola Atrix and Motorola Xoom, Brother's of Droid X2, will be in the UK (at least on Orange) by June (Motorola state 2nd quarter 2011). It is amazing.
Not sure if this is the right place to ask this question but i figure ill fire it out there. After going thru multiple warranty replacements and they even swapped my original x for an x2. It will not activate. the manager said he would send me an iphone4 32gig model. He said i will have until Friday to make my decision. I love android and never used ios. They will not ship me anything with a 4.3 inch screen except another x2. Im just tired of the swapping. I told them i may switch to sprint. I just am looking for opinions and i wont flame anyone for their opinion. Thanks all
They should be able to get you activated eventually, that sounds odd to me. I'm very happy with my DX2. I would rather have the Nvidia Tegra 2 processor over any other feature on any device. The qhd display is also amazing, don't let anyone tell you otherwise until you see a Tegra 2 game like PinballHD or RiptideGT in person.
I also have an original Droid X running ota Gingerbread and the performance is great. Once the DX2 is updated to 2.3 and more apps are written to take advantage of dual core this device will deliver some awesome performance. Fir now, gotta love scoring 2800+ on quadrant everytime with stock unrooted DX2
But do what's best for you. The iPhone is sweet and iOS 5 is just around the corner. That will be like xmas morning in iPhoneland, so many new features to unwrap! But I'm sticking with my Droooiiiiddddd

Just a quick tip.. I had problems activating too.
This might help - Make sure you have good service and instead of pressing the activate button on the screen, go to emergency then dial *228. That worked for me.
Im not an Apple fan. Droid all the way
Just left iphone 4 on AT&T, signed up for Verizon, got DROID charge, returned charge a day later and got DROID x2. I am finally at home.
Dual core, qhd display, supreme build quality, reliable network, unlimited data and working netflix... simply can't beat it.

Stick with it, take your x2. Because of the processor and the build, it will last you anonly get much better with gingerbread. Plus the boot loader will probably be unlocked in the future.

Thanks for all the responses. By the way the emergency call *228 worked. Thank you for that. I used to have an iphone and when i activated it was like riding a bike again. But then it hit me that i have to jailbreak and add all these repos and install all this crap and have pretty icons all over the place. I got it 6 hours ago and its going back in the box. Im sticking with the x2. Hopefully it gets updated soon and all will be right with the world. I now despise apple products even more. Its more of a gimick toy for someone to say "i have an iphone" Sorry i doubted you android, even if it was only a couple of hours.
Yeah, ipwn is teh suc. Glad you stuck it out.
Yeah, good move with the x2. The ip4 is stable, intuitive and runs itself more or less... But it's so boring and limiting. The android phones just feel faster. Back when I was a dedicated iPhone guy, I thought the ip4 was blazing fast...until I started on android.
My OG Droid felt faster then the iPhone 4 after Root/ROM/OC. 10 minutes of work and I had a superior phone. (in my book)
Now that I've got the X2, using the iPhone feels like going back to my Palm Pre from the OG. Big leap forward, pentile display be damned.

The X2 display is MUCH nicer than the Atrix's screen. Its like night and day for some reason, even though they are using similar tech.
Agreed. DX2 display is better.
I don't dislike it necessarily, it has just taken some adjustment from the OG Droid.

I just came over from AT&T. Coming from a long line of iphone, I have owned the following devices, some less, some more than a month:
(AT&T)
Iphone 4
Htc inspire
Motorola atrix
Htc inspire
Samsung infuse
(Another) iphone 4
(Got onto verizon)
Samsung DROID charge (2 days)
Motorola DROID x2
And I can say with confidence the x2 is my favorite. Stability and build quality are great. Everything works and will only get better.

I agree, and the thought of Gingerbread is exciting. I only hope Verizon doesn't take too long.

I've been looking more into the phone and really like what I see. Anything I should hold out for or be weary. I have enough cash from my iPhone/Atrix sale to purchase, but without root yet. I know it's still very early though.

Any reason your Bionic not good enough?
It is a great phone without root. Best out of the box HTC phone I've had so far.

I came from the Bionic and the Rezound is better in every way even without root. Especially the screen and the camera. After the bionic I will probably never buy a Motorola phone. I much prefer the Sense ui to the crap they call Blur.
My wife just got her first smartphone last month. She picked the bionic. She didn't want to spend the extra $50 for the rezound. I did though!!! I have had only htc smartphones and plan to keep it that way I love sense. The Rezound is an awesome phone. My wife keeps asking if her phone has some of the same option my phone has. It is always a sense thing she is looking for. I think she regrets the Bionic now and the camera sucks on the Bionic!

Let me see, apps disappear, random reboots, video camera is garbage with low light, pictures won't focus, display looks like a screen door. Those were my reasons for returning the bionic.
I realize the rezound is like a couple months later but help for the same price it came with ear buds and better everything else.
The only one thing the bionic can do better is the display is easier the see in sunlight.
I came from the Bionic as well. Night and day difference. Having two previous HTC phones prior to the Motorola I had to switch back. HTC knows how to create the perfect device. The screen on the Resound is worth the swap alone. Can't wait till s-off and cm7/9. Maybe a little miui action as well.

I have an active Bionic and Rezound ATM.
Screen is major. It is gorgeous. Other than that though .. I almost prefer my Bionic experience to the Sense. I know .. I'm strange I guess. The Bionic seems faster too, I have it rooted updated to 5.8.894 too. The update fixed the Bionic.
I love both, but I can't wait for the Rezounds root. That need to happen before I prefer this to the Bionic.
Which would I recommend right now? Bionic. Battery life, user interface, root ... it's a better device for me. for now...
I had a Bionic for a brief period and absolutely HATED IT. The screen was hideous, the sound sucked, camera was garbage etc etc etc. I have owned tons of phones over the years & the Bionic was the only one I have ever returned in disgust.
I returned it and bought a Droid Charge that was awesome (custom ROM, imoseyon 4.0, fuju tweaks, LPP Plus etc etc etc). I used that until just a few days ago when I gave it to my Wife & bought the Rezound. Both the Charge & the Rezound absolutely blow away the POS Bionic IMHO.

I had a very similar experience except I sold my bionic for the charge. Switching to the rezound however, has changed the way I look at phones. No phone I've ever had, rooted or not, has satisfied like this one. Only thing that will make me love this phone more now would be root.

Agreed. Also the best built phone I've owned since the HD2.
HTC all the way. I almost held out for the galaxy nexus, even though I don't like plastic phones, then the lack of sd card and 5mp camera brought me back to my senses.
MOTO Q9C
HTC TP2
HTC HD2
HTC HD7
HTC THUNDERBOLT
HTC REZOUND

Droid Fighter possibly due out in April? Anyone frustrated with Motorola about making a 720P 4.6" HD Razr Max w/ ICS so soon?
I feel like you never get to enjoy your Moto phone for long. And how can there be dev and community support when the same manufacturer and carrier keep coming out with upgraded versions every ten minutes. I have to admit sometimes I envy Apples once a year roadmap.
I used the razr for a while and follow threads on most high end phones. Full disclosure though, I am now rocking the nexus and I know that the SGS3 will come around soon, but at least I know there won't be another nexus around the corner. It sucks when you "love" a phone just to have it trumped (and if you are like me you buy the new one), and now you love that phone....for a little while anyway.

Ya they all do to some degree. But the X2 was beat by the bionic, that was beat by the razr, all in like 8 months on the same carrier. This year you already have the Maxx, which could be beat by April.
I'm just wondering if anyone feels a little jaded. I know I would.

Yeah I just got my Maxx but I bought from amazon wireless and they have the 30 day return policy. If the Fighter comes out on the April 12 I should be able to exchange. I want a better screen with same battery. Who wouldn't?

I don't because that is going to be the case unless you're Apple or RIM. We all know RIM is going to go the way of Nokia so that just leaves Apple as a yearly producer. I am happy with my device and those that can afford a new one every six months will be happy too. My maxx in many ways is better than my laptop so I can't really complain.

I'm ok with it. The MAXX's specs are great, the screen is great, battery is awesome. Only thing missing is the unlocked bootloader, no need or want to upgrade to fighter.
I've had a lots of phones in the short year and half with Verizon and I can honestly say the Maxx has really got a spell on me. I love this phone.
It's battery last me over 4 hours on LTE which is something my old Nexus could never do even with the a 3500ma battery. The speaker is loud, and the camera is great especially video.
This is the only non vanilla ui which I actually like. It may not be stock but it's only lightly skinned. I don't even feel a need to root the phone.
I just wanted to put that out there.

Right there with ya!! I had the GNex for 8 months prior to switching to the Maxx, and I too love this phone! Notifications I can hear, crystal clear phone calls and a super insane battery!

Root for ti backup and undervolting in my case. Undervolting might not be necessary for battery life, but the phone is also cooler under volted.

I just got a plain RAZR as a replacement phone after 3 Galaxy Nexus. I haven't sent back the Nexus yet but think I will stay with the RAZR. It is a nice piece of hardware and the radio is definitely better. Now all I have to do is get past the development side and I will be all set.

I have AT&T and had a GSM Galaxy Nexus for 6 months. Finally snagged a GSM MAXX on eBay and am selling my Nexus.
It's pretty awesome, even with missing Jelly Bean.
The Rezound I had died and the only replacement they could offer was the Maxx. Much easier phone to use. In my research the specs were better on the Rezound so I went with it, real world use of the two showed me the Maxx was better.
I have not even had the desire to root it like I did my Dinc and Rezound. But I miss TB and Adway.
