DroidX2 coming May26th

If this came with LTE I would definitely get it this summer (want to get it on unlimited 4G before they get rid of it). As nice as the specs are, looks like I'm still looking for my summer upgrade phone.
 
Locked bootloader + no front facing camera + no LTE = No thanks.

Maybe I should just pick up a used Thunderbolt and wait until March when I return from my next deployment.
 
I wish more phones had physical buttons. The buttons on my Droid X are the greatest things ever. I don't get the capacitive craze.
 
Not sure if it is a warranted upgrade from my X though.

Looks good though, droid X has been the best phone ive had so far.

Well what else do you guys expect for this? I mean LTE? LTE has been shown to give your phone 2 freaking hours of battery life. LTE is NOT going to go mainstream until these issues are resolved.

i can eke out 12 hours of moderate use in a typical workday, with LTE on the whole time except for when i'm in the subway. the only way it would last two hours is if you were streaming music, with the screen on playing games, while downloading every app on android market.

Well it`s dual core with a qHD screen with HD video, good upgrade.

That alone makes it a nice bump. And, incidentally, the most powerful phone in Verizon's catalog.

On a side note, Verizon better start to leverage their position a little and start getting better phones. Everyone else has much better phones, AT&T, TMO, and Sprint either have something better already or significantly better in the near pipeline.

Well this phone will be equal to the top phones until some time next year.

Not true: see Droid Charge reviews.

What it does do is delay release and make the phone super-sized.

I shall look at those, but looking @ the Thunderbolt reviews:

You know, I'd like to see some of those benches of the THunderbolt with a custom kernel. I read the Charge getting impressive battery life but this is always based on anecdotal evidence of people going "OMG I HAD HEAVY USE FOR 2 DAYS AND IT SITLL HAD 30% BATTERY LEFT." Meanwhile someone will say they used the hell out of it and got 14 hours. So it's hard to say. But based on what people are saying it's probably a lot more than the T-Bolt.

So what accounts for the difference? 200 mAh is a 14% boost in battery life. So if you could get 14 hours on your T-Bolt, now you're getting like 16 hours. To most people this isn't night and day. Obviously the difference is a lot more. I'm wondering if this is software or perhaps a hardware issue too. The LTE chip? That's why I'm curious if custom kernels and newer radios and modified stuff makes battery life improve a lot on the T-Bolt. After all even 3G battery life isn't great on the T-Bolt.

Super AMOLED+ apparently is good with power. The Thunderbolt runs a separate CDMA/1x radio even though its LTE chip can do those too. Not sure what else.

AMOLED is only better on power with darker images. If there`s a lot of white then it`ll use even more power than traditional LCD.

That's regular (Super) AMOLED, though. Samsung talked about the "Plus" version having some special powersaving sauce, and this seems to be the case: according to Android Central's review, the Infuse does even better than its 1760 battery would suggest.
 
Some places apparently are getting them today. I'm curious if anyone has seen one or gotten one yet. I would like 4G but the short battery life is a turn off, the X2 looks a lot like what I need right now. I am so damn tired of the Blackberry Storm. 🙁
 
If it had LTE I would've been all over this, but alas, I went with the Charge instead and I am loving the speed (and the unlocked bootloader, root, and all the goodies that will come with that).
