The UI style was on the LG Prada before first iPhone came out...

Wow, the Galaxy S looks damn nice! I like the Driod, but it's HUGE.
I want one... what a POS... better than the iphone... but worse than Apple's offering.
Steve Jobs said it has the antenna problems. Forget it.

The HTC Droid Eris was retired in June:
http://androidcommunity.com/droid-eris-has-been-retired-droid-incredible-next-20100622/
on a 1st gen moto driod. i rarely use the keyboard, but it is nice when typing longer emails and looking to have more screen space. it also make things easier when using Excel (I've got Documents To Go).
since the 2.0 software update, things have been a bit more glitchy than they used to be, though, i do surf a bit o pr0n and may have contracted a social disease. the processor doesn't handle switching applications as quickly as it once did. i use Dolphin for the browser, and it is good for most things, but it is slow to type when i'm on the monkey and a few other sites. the camera takes nice pictures, but it snaps them so damn slow. the balckberry is far better for txt msgs, and things got weird after the 2.0 rollout; i sometimes find all my txt history gone (a friend of mine with the HTC driod had the same issue after 2.0, but not before). i'm not as stoked as i first was with the device. however, it is still solid. the GP feature is good and bewbz appear faster on screen than they did with my blackberry.

I knew better than to wear that outfit, too bad that's my whole wardrobe. Maybe they're just not big on nudity?
only one way to verify, go in wearing assless chaps and see if you get ignored. perhaps it is the wrapper and not the package.
You may have a point, but the guy couldn't be bothered to answer questions.
Went to the store yesterday to check out the Droid X. It is big! Typing on it was pertty easy and fast, the device responded really slow but I am assuming it had a lot of crap running from people playing with it non stop for 24 hours.
I'm gonna wait until Android 2.2 is released, hopefully by then any glitches with the X will also be discovered and resolved.

With regard to UI slowness: I felt the same way about my co-worker's Evo 4G that I tried. I expected it to be Snappy (tm). It was better than my current 3G running iOS 4.0 for sure, but not what I expected it to be or what I expect from the iPhone 4.
ive had a iphone since they came out. Given AT&T $7200 over the years and im finally fed up. Looking at either Droid X or Evo 4G. But I hear so many horror stories about sprint that im torn
Sprint's coverage BLOWS. Avoid.
depends.....coverage was spotty in colorado....dropped calls where i worked in castle rock....could get a signal in the mountains....between DIA and the kansas/missouri state line...iffy to no signal.
......coverage in nc....perfect.....the only time i have a problem is when i visit the parents concrete bunker they call a house.
my older brother has iphone/at&t...has coverage issues...
younger brother has new iphone4/at&t and lives in boulder....no problems for him.
I split time between NY and SoCal and Verizon has been the best by far coverage wise in my experience. YMMV depending on location I guess.
Edit: and people I know who have had Sprint in NY have been damn near unreachable.
Says the guy in NC.
Yankee fans do suck. But I'm surviving ok as a Red Sox fan. I think I was driven to it as a small child by the sheer douchiness of Yankee fans.

Off topic, but hey...
Got my Samsung Omnia II in the mail and it's a cool arse phone. Easy to use and the swype keyboard makes 1 finger texting easy too. It's decked out except one catch.
Since it was a "replacement" under warranty, not a new purchase, I got the phone with no battery. Normally, you get your identical phone and throw your existing battery in the new phone. The only thing they can send direct for replacements is the extended life battery.
Holy crap, is this thing f-ing huge!!!!
Custom back to hold the ginormous block of a battery. Downside is when I set the phone on a desk, only the battery touches and when it's in my pocket, I feel like I just stole a tape deck.
Upside...2+ days of straight usage.
Accelerometer games are fun too.

I read through most of the thread, then got bored.
To the OP's question...
I've got one, got it the day they came out. I debated on waiting for HTC to produce more Incredibles, but I read a few comparisons that said the X had bigger/better/stronger antennae which made reception better. Because of where I live, that's a BIG deal. So I pulled the trigger on the X
It's big, yea... but it's not a huge deal. It still fits in my pocket, I can still use it with 1 hand... it's not like it's a netbook or anything. I think people are making too big a deal of the size. If you use it for the web or video much, the larger screen is REALLY nice.
I really only have 2 complaints. First: The motoblur is useless. Good idea, poor application. Would MUCH rather have HTC's Sense. Second: the voice recorder for speech-to-text hangs from time to time, which is annoying. It doesn't crash the phone or anything... but it's just a pain.
Other than that, I'm really happy with it. A task manager with auto kill helps battery life too.
