You have to realize a couple of things. One, the X is not a phone, it's a computer that has a phone. So you are going to have to treat it as such. It's not something you turn on and start using without a learning curve that, I'm guessing, will be greater than any phone you have had in the past, but since you probably have some computer experience, it's still relatively easy to use. There's some setup and maintenance and overall care using the software.
Second, since it's a compter, there are a lot of apps you'll have to install to get the most use out of it based on how you want to use it. I sort of like that since I can chose the apps I want based on my particular needs/wants, rather than using a canned app that the manufacturer or provider decides I have to use. You probably already have some favorite apps using your current phone, so you should be able to find some that are the same if not similar to those.
Third, since it's a computer with the same software (and apps) running on different hardware between all of the Androids, there's bound to be some bugs here and there. Just like all computers, we have to react/adjust as needed.
The biggest knock I've heard against the Droid X is the large size, but I think that's easy to get used to.
But it's my opinion that if you have a QWERTY with the raised keys, and you are very good at texting and do it a lot, you need to see if you can get used to the touchscreen QWERTY on the X. For me, even with the vibe feedback, I find it a little hard to get used to. If it weren't for the fact that I don't text a lot, I would have considered a droid with a slide out QWERTY.
Hope you like the X after giving it a try.

I really want the X but, like I said, there's a lot of negative posts about it right here on its own forums. Is it just a case of people only posting when something goes wrong or does everybody have the same problems?
