I like the bigger size. Most people don't but me being a cop with big hands and a need to see from some distance, it is perfect for me. That and I can actually run warrants with it and see all of the information I need to see.

Good deal, I understand the big hands and the need to see from a distance, readers needed for anything close. I finally got my brother to go with Verizon, He's a cop out in El Paso, well a MP. Anyway he got the X and his wife got the 2. Said X didn't have physical keyboard. I hardly ever use the slide out keyboard, probably would not miss it. He had to get something better than his issued windows phone, said it was a piece of you know what. I think I have decided I want the bigger processor rather than wait for 4g. I can get another one in June anyway, should be enough time for the cream to rise and make a decision. Thanks for your info, I think it has helped me make up my mind.

The only issue I have at the moment is that I'm on phone number two because it can't handle the beating it gets like my old nextel did. Those nextels could take anything, and just keep working. I wish they could make a smartphone like that.

I installed and tried using the Firefox Beta browser on my Droid X2 and the install went smooth. However, the browser looks like it would be really great if it actually worked the way a mobile browser should.

The options including syncing with your desktop browser are incredible. The big problem here is that the nice looking UI and all the options mean nothing because the browser lags real bad and is extremely slow. It is basically so bad that it is too frustrating to use.

I ended up uninstalling it. I know its only a beta, but it has a long way to go. Its a beta that can't be properly tested because it is too slow and full of lag to use.

I installed it on my Droid X2. Even with the dual cores it was sluggish and ran poorly. I ended up uninstalling it. It looked really good, but way too frustrating to use.
