Im just going to throw this out there. the keys on the keypad for the droid x are actually bigger than the keyboard on the droid 2...if that is a concern. It always is for me.

I'll be upgrading from a BB Curve...Daughter has a LG Alley and it's nice, but the battery life not so wonderful...don't know if I really want a keyboard or not. Playing around with the X and the 2, the X has it for screen size, web surfing and you tube, but the keyboard on the BB Curve is really nice, otherwise it stinks.... Played with a droid pro...do not like the feel of or the keyboard.

One Click Root now available for the Droid 2 and Droid X.

Root gives you free wireless tether and overclocking

I have a Droid 2 and I love it. That being said, my girlfriend will probably get the X next month. Personally, I hate (like really hate) touch keyboards, so the D2 is perfect for me.

Another thought is Verizon is getting the Droid Pro this month. That is the most like the BB. It seems like a cool phone!

What exactly is one click root, why would I want to "root" a phone & what does over clocking accomplish?

The free wireless tething I can understand, but I also understand ya can download a free program & do this as well.

Does this void any warranty?

You can download a program to tether through your usb cable but you have to be rooted to use wireless tether. Rooting just gives you superuser access to your phone. I use a low voltage overclock program that increases my battery life.
