yes it has blur - sense is still > blur, but blur is improved
for those of you in this thread that have the DX2 now - thoughts on the screen? It seems the resolution is obviously better, and it gets pretty bright, but scrolling when there's white on black text makes it flicker a lot, scrolling the homescreen seems to leave very subtle "trails" of icons/widgets as it moves... it's weird - doesn't seem as smooth as previous phones. Also wallpapers (try live smoke for example) don't seem to like the screen very much... fades look crappy, etc. Just wondering if I'm crazy or not...

Like it so far, but I loaded up my stand by launcher pro so everything is smooth as butter. It is brighter with more contrast. The apps and functions are snappier but not really a big difference from the x. Ran 2 quadrant scores 2500 something and 2600 something for what that is worth. Nice so far, not a huge upgrade but I really want to see what this will do unleashed.
PS the NEtflix app does not work, (not recogized by the phone)
. I guess root or an updated app. It may be in the market soon anyway as it is for some other android phones.

after some research, it appears the screen "issues" i'm seeing are due to the fact that, apparently, the DX2 has a pentile screen like the Atrix... can't verify that for sure, but it sure looks like it... supposedly a battery saver, and brighter, but messes up on pixel usage
From what I've read, the pentile display is cheaper for the manufacturer... I read one article that said it's better on the battery as well, but only one article...

Same question reported, how much RAM came with the unit? 512? 1gig?
almost positive its only 512 MB of RAM. It works.

Netflix does work. Just get it from here:
[APP]Official Netflix (new device check disabled) - xda-developers
I wont know until I see one in person, but some ppl said the higher res, qHD offsets the Pentile effect somewhat. Some with older phones that had the older Amoled screens said it isnt as bad as those older phones. I also know there were so many ppl that didnt see it or care that got Inc and GS1 phones last year.
Seeing as Moto is sticking with these qHD screens for the near future, this is the one time I might have to overlook this con....I hate this...lol. I was a big fan of LCD screens compared to Amoled ones last year too...I know for my next phone I will have to see it in person before buying. I basically got the DX1 site unseen. And it worked out in that case for me, but might not from now on.

It's literally the first thing I noticed as soon as I powered on the device. I went "oh god, what's wrong with the battery icon?" then immediately noticed the text on the 2 widgets I use on my main homescreen were heavily artifacted as soon as I added them (one uses orange text and the other uses green). The only way to not see the artifacting is to hold the phone as far as I can with my arm outstretched, which looks pretty silly. I normally view my phone at about 10-12".
Why so close?
