When I leave it restores itself to normal settings.

When I get home the Wifi kicks on, ringer goes on high, etc., and I get a lil pop-up message welcoming me home. I have Tasker set to use specific Wallpapers for different times. I have morning, noon, 4:20, evening and night wallpapers. Its all automatic.

holy crap...

That's just a small sample of what you can do with it. If you're good with computers, which I'm not beyond a basic level, you can do some really tricky stuff.

Hey, any of you guys tried Slingplayer for Android yet? I was considering trying to grab a Slingbox off eBay to try it out...

Oh, and check out my new live wallpaper...courtesy of Android Central and XDA.

I don't know, I'm not sold on the Motoblur yet. I really, really love the HTC Sense interface on the Incredible. It is just fun to use, and brings me joy. I'll have to play with the X for a while first.

I'm a sucker for the more "useless" features. I love to turn my phone on when there's a thunderstorm outside and see the lightening and rain on the phone, so much fun.

Swype is my second favorite, which is standard on the Droid X. It has doubled how fast I can text, and I was pretty quick before.

And these are more reasons to hate the iPhone, because unless you jailbrake it you'll never be able to do stuff like that.

That sounds really cool.

It's nice to see cool shit like this coming out for droid. It shows the real potential of these phones and the harm Apple could be causing the technology by not allowing full use of it's operating system.

I've been watching Droid X vids on Youtube and reading additional previews/reviews all morning...to say that I'm excited about owning one is a HUGE understatement.

I guess it's not all rainbows and puppydogs in Android land:
Google puts the Android kill switch into effect, but why?

IIRC Apple has the same feature built in to the "i" devices...
