I love my Droid X.   It does everything I need a phone to do.   I'm grandfathered into Verizon's "Unlimited" plan for almost two more years.

Same... with some simple z rooting, I have hot spot for free. In addition, I use Googlevoice mails so I have visual net based voicemails that displays the text of the e-mail and can play it audibly instantly without having to call into some other number. In addition, I use apps that let me download music without any cost, I listen to all the talk shows I want, I have multiple browsers (some are good for work, some of personal use), and I can watch all the flash based sites I want.

Total savings= $70 a month.

Do that with an iPhone and you will be iPaying your bill with a few more Jacksons. Also, the bloated crap that iTunes installs on your system is akin to a virus.

I sincerely hope with the new Motorola/Google buyout that Apple gets squeezed.

I disagree.    I was with Sprint from 1997-March of this year.    I lost count of blatant Coverage holes and dropped calls.    I have yet to have a dropped call on Verizon.

Here verizon is the backward stepchild everyone beats. Its good when there is service, but only when you get a decent tower. City size here is 13,000 but you can stand in the middle of town and only have 1X coverage. There is a verizon store towards right before the signal drops out and they will stand there and sell you phones all day even if you live in the no-service area. You can ask them five times will the phone work in "X" area and they will tell you it will work fine even though it hasnt has service there for five years. An hour later you are back complaining about it then they will admit there is no service there. Got out of my two hour old contract that way and they have no plans on adding another tower out here. Its sad to use it for a work phone when it doesnt work out here. Hopefully I can be issued one with another provider

Overall he likes it. He has had a random reboot/turnoff issue but it's getting addressed today.

I washed my razr, found it in the bottom of the washing machine, put it in front of an a/c vent for 5 days, put the battery back in and it still works 2 years later.

Got my atrix a month ago when my Iphone went swimming with me at work and i cant say a single bad thing about it (other then battery life which is horrible on almost all smart phones i still get a full day of hard use out of it and it charges fairly quickly )

droidx rooted rules.  fyi stock phones will start slowing down in the next few months while accessing things like videos or netflix.  verizon has a history of throttling to force people to upgrade before 2 years are up.

I got the HTC Inspire a week or so before release. I was going to use it for 30 days and then exchange it for the Atrix when it came out. Once I saw how tiny the Atrix screen was... I kept the HTC. I did not like the openings on the side of the Atrix either. Also had heard the motorola blurr system slows the phone quite a bit.

I'm really happy with my HTC Inspire. It has the Android OS.
