I don't plan on upgrading either, I am going to wait and see what the fourth quarter brings...still the D2 is a worthy successor. As far as the locked bootloader birdman has been able to load an alternate recovery on the DX which brings it one step closer to flashing custom ROMs, if it's possible with the X then it's possible with the D2

Could be....I ordered the Incredible originally but the back order took so long I told them to keep it. This could be Big Red's way of getting me back!

lol, wouldnt it be funny if they actually had a list of people like that. "the hated" list.
I would like to make a comment about Verizon, but I'm afraid they will stop my shipment. I don't want to be added to the Hated list. lol

It would only be funny if I were not on said list.
Update: 4:01pm, I got my shipment confirmation...about twenty minutes after I sent an email inquiring about the ship date. Coincidence? I think not. Let this be a lesson to everyone, "Closed mouths don't get fed."

If you pre-ordered it before 4:30 pm you should get it on the release day (8/12/10). Mine is already en route and has a delivery time for tomorrow morning. This is also my first Droid and an upgrade from a BlackBerry Storm 1.

Same here, this is my first Droid and also upgrading from the storm 1.. as a matter of fact I bet many storm 1 users are doing that same thing, many of the NE2 are comming up from when the storm first came out.. I got my storm same way.. on opening night. I'll have my D2 friday before 7pm, I could have had it tomorrow but I work and don't want to miss fedex.

The upgrade in memory and CPU speed is not the whole story, GPU memory speeds and I think a CPU clock speed increase as well.
My friend has a Droid 1 and I have a Droid X
His Droid with 2.1 overclocked to 1Ghz did much worse than my DX on the Quadrant score, only after he upped his clock to 2.2 and upgraded to 2.2 was he able to beat my quadrant score. When my DX gets 2.2 it should blow it out of the water.
So not only is the droid 2 much faster than an overclocked Droid 1 already, but with the 45nm chips in the droid 2 it should be able to overclock as well once completely rooted.
