Prodigal, according to this:

the HDMI out should work on Android, though he's using a different phone. He says the picture quality is bad, but it sounds like it he was running it with his cell data, why not switch to wifi?

I just picked this as a work phone and I was wondering for keeping a calendar and syncing it with Outlook how good is it? Sorry for the basic question, but it's the first phone I've ever got for a job and I want to use it's organizational functions to the fullest.

average at best. I've been using it for about 8 months, and I've found email and the calendar to be awkward. Frankly, it makes me question dumping my iphone.

Bad news on my end. So I'm in Las Vegas and I jumped into the hot tub with my phone in my pocket. Tried to put it in rice but it was too late. The worse part is I have no insurance on it, which sucks big time. Not sure if I'm gonna file a claim on it or not.

Hopefully the Droid 2 is soon to follow, but I'm not going to hold my breath.

Bleh, well I figured it was better to go for the one whose keyboard I was far more used too. However, I appreciate the feedback as it's better to go in with realistic expectations and not feel bitter. Any tips on getting the most from it?Superblatt said:
Still it just got delivered, so their goes my attempt to get work done, but it also means no more needing to lug my laptop around which is a huge plus just to check email!
Oh how is Verizons OTA updates. Lets just say I got a new Captivate (for free at least) because AT&Ts was shitty and bricked my phone last week lol

I may wait until they have the ability to root it before I SBF back to FroYo. I haven't had any problems with the current GB build either.
What are your guys thoughts on getting Ice Cream Sandwich on the DX? I think that with the recent release of the DX2 we might get it considering they are basically the same phone, and wouldn't require much.

so it adds a significant performance boost.
that's good because everyday I think of looking into rooting my phone and getting rid of everything verizon and motorola on it because it stalls and lags and needs to be reset far too often.
Have you tried to pull it manually? Also:Gouty said:

I did it but the stock launcher is really bad compared to the Froyo X launcher from before. Don't really know if it's going to be different on the OTA update. I'm using LauncherPro - will try the other when OTA goes up.Aselith said:

Considering you couldn't even customize the stock launcher in Froyo X before, I'd say you are wrong.
The fact the Froyo X stock launcher had two uncustomizable shortcuts to the same thing (Dialer/contacts) made it the worst thing ever as it was.
Gingerblur's stock launcher is 100% better. In any case, everyone will just use a third party launcher anyhow so it is all moot but I don't think the Gingerblur launcher is all that bad.

I did the update a couple of hours ago so far so good a little faster and my Netflix app still works stock non-rooted Droid X .
. Is it just made available to people at different times throughout the day?

just manually searched for the update, downloading now
Glad to see it here, but only because it means one more step toward stable custom ROMs with official Gingerbread goodness. I'd shoot myself in the face before I'd go back to stock, unless Moto has managed to seriously put a boatload of work into this one. ApeX vs. stock Froyo in the realm of performance and usability on the X is embarrasing.

Is it just me or are the face buttons a little brighter? I can see the light coming from underneath the buttons.
And Blur is good now? Maybe I'll ditch LauncherPro then.

Definitely not just you. They seem absurdly bright now. I've been using Adjbrightness to just keep them turned off.
so i've been trying to update these past few days and all i'm getting is "check for update was not available at this time." i've googled it and that's told me to go to data manager > social appliciations > turn off sync over wifi only. that was already turned off so that isn't the problem.
anyone have any ideas? i haven't rooted or done anything to my phone. it is completely stock froyo.

I SBFed myself back to Froyo from a leaked GingerBlur and installed the pre-rooted version of the official OTA. There were some problems with the leaked ROMs, I was getting reboots when I used the music players too much and it seemed to stall quite a lot. The official OTA seems much smoother and the music player isn't crashing my phone anymore, so there's a lot to like here!
And yeah, it's amazing how far the Droid X has come since it launched. The Eclair ROM it launched with was slower than molasses, Froyo was a huge improvement, but Gingerbread just is another level of speed. Whipping the home screens left and right is smoother than ever before, even with a bunch of widgets all over it. I have to give Motorola a lot of credit for the work they've put into the X after it's released, they could just pulled a Samsung and said "We have your money now so FUCK YOU KTHXBAI" but they've worked hard to make the X better every new ROM. Judging from the increasing numbers of random people I've seen sporting a new X, I think this is a good thing. Motorola is investing in the future by actually supporting the phone post-release, hoping customers will come back in 2 years for another Motorola device.
Since Motorola is one of the handset manufacturers who pledged to support their devices for 18 months after launch during Google I/O 2011, we might even see Ice Cream Sandwich on the X if the hardware still meets ICS's specs. This is a phone I really can use for the full 2 years of my contract, thank goodness.

Agreed with everything, Unknown Soldier. I bought the X on launch day and have been constantly impressed by it. I cant speak for the gingerbread improvements (downloading it now), but the X has been much improved over the past year. It's just a pleasure to use, and has made for a wonderful experience.
Does anybody else's Droid X randomly reset itself for no reason? For instance, the other day the phone was sitting on my desk at work when I noticed that it went back to the "droid eye" logo just as if I had turned it on. And then last night I tried to answer a call from my girlfriend it reboot itself. The gingerbread update didn't seem to help any.
