How the battery life so far? I've noticed there aren't many choices for upgrading the battery...

Battery life is good...I used it heavily all night last night starting with a 60% charge...it probably crapped out (5% charge and a low battery warning) around midnight.

I've been using it heavily again today...started at 6 am with a full charge...just checked the battery life...it's still at 85%.

Give the Incredible to your wife...get yourself an X. You won't be sorry.

Turns out I'm an idiot and have to wait till Monday for the phone. Free overnight shipping and I accidentally selected the Fedex 2-day.

/facepalm

I don't think she'd like the X very much, so if I got it then it'd be my phone. Still undecided...no huge rush yet...

Can someone bring me up to speed on all this new technology?

I am due for an upgrade too on my verizon acct. I downgraded from a razor 2 years ago and just have a regular flip with a camera. I am happy with it so far since I only use it for calls, texts and the occasional picture and didn't need all the bells and whistles.

My friend just got one and she loves it and it got me thinking.

I was going to get an itouch because my ipod broke and I need to a nursing app for class so I don't have to carry a bunch of books to clinicals. Turns out the app is available for android as well.

Also wanted to get a gps because my riding buddy is being shipped back to canada and he leads. I read on the website that you can get gps for it? Is it any good and will the battery last? Anyway to mount it to a bike or do I just put it in a tank bag?

Also the 8 megapixels camera is a cool feature, and has more pixels than my camera.

Other than that I don't need it for email, facebook, etc etc. Not sure what to do!

When you buy the data package does that include texts too? I'm so confused.

Since you have a regular phone plan you need to get a smart phone plan which is minutes + data. Look to spend around $100 a month.

Gina, give me a call and I'll give you the lowdown.

DroidX kicks ass btw. I can't believe I put up with my BB for so long.

You still working from home? I'll give you a call tomorrow around noon if you are free so we can catch up.

If I am real ambitious and finish my hw at a decent hour I give you a buzz but so far I have been doing a whole lot of slacking.

I neer recommending using your phone as a gps mounted on a bike. Youre not always able to get up after a wreck.
