@tomsomething: they're basically the same thing

@dufus: What are outdoor sports?

@tomsomething: Is the "or" really necessary?

@See you suckers later: "And he was responsible for Buffy the Vampire Slayer the movie."

@chefgon: But every HTC phone and Samsung phone supports custom ROMs. There's no *official* non-skinned phone, but there are lots of current-gen phones that can run stock FroYo.

@Vidit: "I agree that Incredible is an awesome phone but being 'locked-down' by both Verizon and HTC is what concerns some of us."

@miquonranger03: The Quickening: I think the processors are slightly different, even though they both use ARM Cortex A8s, but you're right that the biggest difference between the chipsets is the GPU. The Galaxy S's PowerVR540 gets almost double the performance of the Droid X's PowerVR530. I'd probably go for the…

@Lactose_The_Intolerant: The Inc's been rooted. You could run a custom ROM and try out stock FroYo if you wanted to get an idea of the performance.

@kanga5khan123: oh really? [www.nytimes.com]

@FigNinja: iOS has iTunes integration (doubletwist is great, but can't compare), apps (particularly 3D games), and the overall fluidity of the interface

@VonFeldt7: Well, you can get the X's multi-touch keyboard for any Android phone running 2.1 ([www.androidguys.com] and Swype is in a closed beta that should hopefully re-open sometime soon and/or eventually go on sale in the Market. Then again, typing on the X might be a dream because of its huge size, not just its…

@hacob04: I hate to say this, but I much preferred the Engadget review to the Gizmodo one. I generally prefer Gizmodo to Engadget, but as you said, this review is not a serious review of the phone, but rather a rant against an easily changed part of the OS. Even non-tech publications like the NYT didn't just…

@wild homes loves you but chooses darkness!: It's not Sense, but the Moto Widgets aren't that bad. You can either use them or not. You can install Beautiful Widgets or even Launcher Pro. It's simply not a deal-breaker. The biggest usability annoyances I've noticed with the X are the dialer that doesn't let you enter…

@yanks003: The X I played with in the Verizon Store not only got hot on the battery cover but also on the screen, which I found a little off-putting.

@peter46: "Why is this not available in such a sophisticated OS like Android?"

@phinn: Not very impressive? The CPU/GPU combo destroys the Snapdragon in the Incredible and almost equals the Hummingbird in the Galaxy S. There are valid reasons to get an Incredible over the X (root and custom ROMs, smaller screen, Sense) but this is still a more impressive phone.

@Michael Scrip: Verizon has said that if your contract expires anytime this year, you can upgrade to the Droid X immediately. If you're due for an upgrade in October but your contract expires in early 2011, you can still try to upgrade and they might go along with it. And I agree about the insane thinness; I think…

@Colin Knapp: Looks like the S actually has a slightly better CPU and GPU than the X, despite the Quadrant benchmark: [androidandme.com]

@xaronax: while nothing is uncrackable, phones that auto-brick themselves when they sense that they're not stock can certainly pre-empt cracking. If you're on Verizon and you want a rooted phone, go for the Incredible.

@zekedawg00: The biggest hurdle isn't setting up the site, but getting the intended customers to use it. Blue-collar workers, generally speaking, don't have a great relationship with technology. You'd have to have some way of clearly showing the benefit of your service and gaining their trust; you'd need some way to…
