Does anyone here have an HP touchpad/Droid X2 combo? I'm probably going to be getting one with my tax return. Got a pretty decent return this year.
why an HP Touchpad? i have an a500 and my dx2

Well for one, I used to have a webOS phone. I have a soft spot for the OS. lol. I still think its an awesome operating system. Plus webOS is going to be fully open source within a year or so, so I think some really cool things will come to it from the developers. Plus, I can dual boot Android on it. So its a two for one type of thing.

I wouldn't pay for a 500 dollar tablet. The 200 dollar price is what made me decide to get one. The waiting is the hardest part though. I have to wait for my tax return then order it and wait some more. Aahhh. Lol

Im thinking of picking up a Fire in the future...does it run ICS or CM9? My brother has one and it looks like it would do just enough for me. Does it have a dock a la ASUS Transformer? At $200, I cannot pass it up.

I love it! I'm a former Pre+ user, so it's sort of nostalgic for me. Had CM7 running on it for netflix, but found myself booting into webos almost exclusively, so I removed it all together.
I almost bought one full price when they first came out, but luckily wasn't super sure about tablets in general, but the fire sale came along and I jumped right on it.

Same here. I used a pre plus before getting a Droid x2. Still play around with my phone here and there. Lol. Ive been missing webOS so this is a good way to get back into it. Plus, since it can dual boot android, if webOS doesn't have something, android probably will. From the looks of it, CM9 is pretty stable on it so it'll be nice to have two operating systems I've come to love.

I believe battery life importance is by far the most important thing in a phone. Can't wait for the day when battery life on these and 4G (since their going to phase 3G out) is fantastic (more then 10 hours heavy use). Thats just wishful thinking because it'll never happen.
Question for those here, when 3G phones do get phased out and were stuck with 4G and its horrible battery life is everyone just going to go with the flow or anyone stick with the same phone they currently have.

If you want to hear yet another "negative thing" about the Thunderbold, I think it feels rather "clunky" in your hand. Sorta like a small brick.
I had a Thunderbolt and came to the x2. It's a great phone, development is awesome, ie it has cm7 and a slew of sense based roms. Battery life is easily manageable. I'd go back if i could.

stop trolling. GB is the most stable android as a whole has ever been. and the pentile display is entirely opinion, although most "real world" reviews will tell you it is not an issue in the least bit.

Go for the Bolt, especially if you're into custom roms. We only have 2 roms...which aren't really custom roms, they're just tweaked stock roms. Nothing like CM7 or MIUI.
Once the Bionic comes out, a good handful of people will get it. I doubt a lot of devs will be looking at it (locked loader, sick of waiting for it). The Bionic, the Vigor, and the rumored soon released Nexus Prime are going to push us to the back of the room. I plan on trying to sell my x2 once the Prime or Vigor comes out, actually I regret getting it since the Prime and Vigor are coming out so soon
Don't flame me... I actually have a valid point (to me anyway) for asking this.
The reason I am asking is because I'm pretty sure I am going to be getting one so I am curious as to which developers from the 3D will be getting one. I think the developers we have here are some of the best around and it would be awesome if some of the devs around here are getting it. I would hope that the dev community on the first quad core tablet would be awesome but ya never know.

i heard many bad things about the Prime... check over in the forum... bunch of hardware/software problems i would love to buy one but it took me 5 different evo 3d's before i found one that i could live with and it has a dead pixel
i cant wait till development starts pushing out ICS roms in the touchpad forum rather than Gingerbread.... but then again... its only 3 people that i know of doing any development for the touchpad
No. I bought into the hype of the original Transformer, and returned it right at my 14-day mark. The TouchPad suits me just fine. For the price I paid, it's an unbeatable deal.
I was going to get a Prime until I heard about all the problems. In the meantime I have a piece of crap Streak 7 to tide me over. I decided my next tablet is going to have true stylus support (like the Note/Flyer types, only 7-10" with at least a dual-core processor). That is partly because I do write out notes every day in my line of work. Probably 7" would be best so I could hold it in one hand while writing with the other...but I digress...
I have the prime and I can say it is easily the best tablet on the market
I already have mine with no issues at all. Viperboy already has a root/unroot tool available, but ICS is coming on the 12th anyways. The tablet has great battery life and is unbelievably smooth in just about everything it does.

A buddy of mine has one also. I have played with it and the thing is badass! I think the only way I wont get a Prime is if HTC or someone comes out with a S4 tablet in the same price range. The qualcomm chip is freaking amazing!

I have an acer iconia a500 tablet. I do like it, don't get me wrong. But It's not worth more than the $300 we bought it for. It's just a gadget, plain and simple. If your going to drop $500, $600 you might as well get a laptop, but that of course is just my opinion.
I've got my Prime coming on Monday. Can't wait!

Got it for about $175, the box is opened but the device is still new. Would you guys consider this a good deal? I already have a Kindle Fire so I don't really need a tablet but the size is really what interests me. I'm excited to finally get my hands on a touchpad though, it's going to be like Christmas all over again.

same as you, coming from a nook color. TBH, I hardly ever used the nook, but I love my touchpad. The screen size is so much better for pretty much everything.
Love mine too. WebOs just works and Android is pretty cool. Drop another couple bucks and score the Touchstone charger.
Did you get the 16GB or the 32GB version? If you got the 32 then $175 is a great deal. If you got the 16GB version then thats about the right price. As far as it being a good Tablet, its awesome. For one, as I'm sure you know, it can dual boot Android and webOS. webOS itself is awesome but the app catalog doesnt compare to the Play Store. You will be happy with it I'm sure.
Just scored one for 150. I woulda payed 175 tho

You're going to go thru all the trouble of returning for a refund and getting another one and there's nothing really wrong with it.

Unless CM9 lets his battery die. Then he will have no choice but to put down the big paperweight it turned it into.

What did you think of the transformer?
I've had quite a few Android devices, including the Galaxy Nexus and Droid RAZR, but this one is by far my favorite. I took a Trophy plus some expensive headphones a while back for my RAZR, and finally emerged from the wilderness of WP7 back into Android. This phone is very smooth, and has a wider range of apps and games available than any others that I've owned, besides the OG Droid. It always frustrated me that I couldn't play some of my old favorite GL games on my newer device, but now I can. I do have a class 10 card so that may make a difference too.

Yeah that's what I meant. You couldn't remove all the Moto software. Same thing with the RAZR, it bottle-necked like crazy, and you couldn't fix it. All Moto dual-cores seem to do that. It's that jumpy lag that pops up every now and again.
I think it's a good phone overall, but avoid it if you're a heavy GPS user. Now that I've upgraded to a LG Spectrum my Fascinate is freed up to play with. I came from a Droid Eris to the Fascinate and found the Samsung style of android daunting with Odin, PIT files, MTD vs non MTD, Voodoo, multiple versions of CWM. It will make your head spin. My Eris once rooted, all I had to do was throw zips on the SD card and flash them, I didn't have to think about can I go from ROM A to ROM B without soft-bricking the phone etc. One of the best things about the Fascinate was they show up on Cowboom.com from time to time for about $70 with no contract.
My spectrum has a very good screen, but still doesn't have the richness of a Samsung display. One thing I could always hold over the "IClones" that are everywhere when they go on and on about their precious retina display was, ok you have a high pixel density, but you also have a smaller screen, and the colors feel washed out.
My screen is bigger and has colors that POP!

True, if Motorola would give us the key to unlock the phones then the phone might blow the fascinate out of the water with numerous kernels and everything, but being locked down the Motorola Droid X2 running GB 2.3.5 compared to a stock Fascinate running the same OS the fascinate seems to blow the Droid X2 outta the water IMO. I think blur is a total waste of space on the phone and the kernel being locked is even worse, but this has been said on every human known forum for development on the internet.
I wish Motorola would do what Samsung is doing and providing the phone's being unlocked at the get go, but now that I have Samsung, I'm never going back!
sorry for the long winded rant that kept going back to the fact that Motorola needs to provide an unlock tool without having to buy a new phone without a warranty.

This phone was designed to run 2.1 eclair when it was released 2 years ago. Which is even more impressive.

haha i figured since you've had two up-to-date Motorola phones. If I may ask, why'd you switch from the nexus to (possibly) the fascinate? or even better question, why aren't you using the nexus over the fascinate?

yes sir, that definitely is impressive. I forgot it was designed and released with Eclair 2.1. I just bought the phone and I believe it was on froyo, but then I odin'd it to GB and went straight to ICS.

What I really miss is the Rezound. I traded my Nexus for a RAZR because I thought surely Motorola had improved since the X2. I was wrong, clearly. I ended up trading my RAZR for a Trophy plus some nice headphones then the Trophy for the Fascinate. I'd love a Rezound though lol.

so you had 4g devices and then traded them for a 3g device? idk if I could do that if I had 4g, I don't know if I'd like a HTC device anymore, I honestly think i'm going to stick with Samsung.

Don't have 4G coverage in my area so it didn't matter.

that's how I feel, that's why I went with the Fascinate instead of the Nexus or anything 4g.

May buy another Rezound though, because they just put 4G in my area.
I agree i'm loving the fascinate its a great phone. I have had several other phones, including blackberry witch was a disaster. Fascinate is defiantly one of the best phones i have had.
I've been having issues with network here in Scarborough Maine. At first Verizon was quick to help but after 2-3 months of trying to get them to fix it its like they are trying to ignore me. Also, this is after 2 replacement phones. So today I called back and they said my network ticket had been.....RESOLVED??!! Hmm this is the first I heard of it and obviously not since I'm still having speed issues. So I got transferred to tech support and they offered to give me a different model. She said no iPhone (I laughed and said that's fine I hate apple junk) and no 4G phones (dammit). So she gave me two phones that she "recommends" a Casio commander and an HTC rhyme....WTF!!?? So I kinda giggled and said I don't think those will work for ME. So I guess I'm allowed any current 3G phone on their website, I want suggestions from you guys annnnnd go!

great phone. single core but has a really good dev community. has more ram too, if im not mistaken. also has REALLY stable ics roms like cm9, aokp, miui, a sense 4 rom, paranoid, geeze theres alot of roms!
They gave me a Dinc2 and I love it. Just be aware the newer software on the phones are making it more dificult to downgrade to get s off. Which gives you perm root. When they downgrade with the newer software version sense roms bootloop. People are working on it and it is ongoing. AOSP roms will work fine like CM7 and CM9 or any aosp ICS rom.
jesus, verizon put up a helluva fight but after fighting with them tooth and nail for over 45 minutes, I am now the proud owner of a droid incredible 2. My time in the droid x 2 forums has been great everybody here has been extremely helpful in any issues or questions I've had. And as for the developers, thank you so very much for making this phone at all usable and enjoyable. Of course I will still be browsing through these forums because my roommate has the x2 but my time here has come to an end. moving on to bigger and better things!!! See you all on the flip side, actually, who am I kidding I will still be on these damn x2 forums everyday lol

Oh I know lol I threw my buddy onto my account and got him a rezound, was it fairly easy to unlocked and get it hooked up with custom rom/kernel etc? I want to get him up and running with AOKP

well..... the rezound doesnt have any of those roms. We dont have a stable CM9 or AOKP. there are some but they are REALLY alpha (like no talk, texting, wifi, 3g/4g, etc) it pretty much boots. Although, there are some good roms. the one im running is Desensed, meaning there is less sense but its still there.
I actually went from resound to Droid x2 lol. So many issues with my resound. Besides ram issues I love dx2

Cool. I went to RAZR and it's definitely 10x (if not 100x) better than the X2.
Enjoy!

Youch. Not sure if the X2 could be considered to be better. At least, not from my experience!
Music on the X2 is awful. It constantly skipped and the 512mb of memory just doesn't cut it. If you're not using it for music, it's not bad, but as an MP3 player, wow. Poor, poor design.
But, if it's doing better than the resound, all the more power to yah! There are plenty of helpful people here with a lot of knowledge.
Enjoy!
Ugh guys, I've kinda gotten attached to my X2. I was looking through the Incredible 2 forums and it looks like I have a lot to learn lol

The X2 is losing people literally everyday. Congrats of the new device. Funny cause I still use my X2 everyday. My 4G signal is extremely iffy in my gym (and the wifi is un-useable) so when it goes out, no music and no Netflix. I whip out my X2 that now holds all my music internally and I'm all good.

I might just buy a cheap X2 in a while so I can keep screwing around with it, DzK's ICS has a lot of potential, it will only get better with time as he hacks the **** out of it lol
