Well, there hasn't been many negative review or comment in this thread. Maybe because I ask this in the DX section. I tried to ask a similar question in the Pro section and got nowhere. For that, I am already a fan of the X...and yes I think they should have named it something else...what's next, X2? At least they didn't call it the Droid HD.
I agree that the X's virtual keyboard is very good esp. in portrait mode. I played with Pro's keyboard and it's not bad either. Not a fan of the plastic body or the chrome trim around the Pro (but that's personal). The X is very "masculine" so I am surprised of the women that chimed in, but thank them very much for their perspectives as I am looking for my wife.
The X is rootable and themable which is a huge plus for me.

Since you are looking for wife, I will tell you my downfall
*WARNING*
Getting the X may be harzardous to your marriage... I CANNOT put this BEAUTY down and my husband is getting really annoyed with me!!!!!!!
I had the Blackberry for a year then got bored with it eagerly waited the release of the Pro.. I have never ever brought a phone back-- narrow, daily connection server error messages, poor grainy pic quality, poor bluetooth connnection, battery, and poor call quality- throughout the conversation people's voices would all of a sudden become gargled and scratchy.....
Im grateful I got the Pro though otherwise I would have never been willing to try the X and take the leap to Digital keyboard( I was anti digital) I laugh now three weeks later I do it with one hand-and I have small hands and this phone is PERFECT!!!!
GOOD LUCK!
