Any Verizon Droid X users?

[rickryan.com]

I'm a ways off from being able to upgrade through Verizon but I'm itching for a smartphone. I see a number of local folks who are upgrading and selling off their Droid X through craigslist. I know, verify the ESN (stolen phones) but, assuming I can verify a phone as not stolen, how does this unit stack up? Is it fast? Does it do a wifi hotspot sufficiently? Does it freeze up?

Thanks in advance.

I use the Droid X. Love it! For Verizon, Wifi Hotspot's are an extra charge on your phone - it is not included in the data package. Also, VZW has changed their policy to limit bandwidth use on these phones - aka: you pay for how much data you use.

I have one. I like it. Like any phone, it is coming to it's end of life, and the newer phones out there, like the droid X2, are faster and less glitches. it does freeze up on occasion and require a reboot.

The wifi spot works well. But with all verizon 3g mobile hotspots on phones, will disconnect if a phone call comes in. Not a phone issue.

If the mobile hotspot is important, I'd highly recommend a 4g phone, like the droid Bionic. Its much faster downloads and wont disconnect when a call comes in.

I would not recommend getting older technology. Pay the extra money and get the current stuff. Like many things, you get what you pay for when it comes to smart phones

Can't afford it at present. My current phone isn't eligible for upgrade until next May. The wife's phone is now but they just discontinued the 2 for 1 deal that's been running the past few months. I've seen several droid X and droid X2 adds on craigslist, all guys who are chomping for the new iphone. As long as it's in near-new condition, and the ESN can be verified as valid, i'm thinking I may splurge $100-$150 and bump up to an X2, at least until both the wife and I can upgrade to the latest model. My USB broadband modem contract ends this month so, assuming the wifi works as everyone says, I can drop it as having to keep up with the USB dongle always makes me nervous.

The wifi works. It is NOT the same experience as having a dedicated modem. If you are expecting to be connected for extended periods of time, you'll be disappointed. works great to jump on line and grab email or visit a website.

Maybe I just need to cool my jets until they get a 2 for 1 deal again. The Bionic looks great.

I've had the Droid x2 for a while now. It's a good phone.
