Same. Hard decision. Wait till next year for contract to be over and just stick with at&t and hope they'll start coming out with nice and big android phones....]]>Jun 11th 2010 4:05PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/11/motorola-droid-xtreme-stars-in-its-clearest-off-the-cuff-preview/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/11/motorola-droid-xtreme-stars-in-its-clearest-off-the-cuff-preview/Jun 11th 2010 4:06PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/11/motorola-droid-xtreme-stars-in-its-clearest-off-the-cuff-preview/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/11/motorola-droid-xtreme-stars-in-its-clearest-off-the-cuff-preview/Jun 11th 2010 4:07PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/11/motorola-droid-xtreme-stars-in-its-clearest-off-the-cuff-preview/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/11/motorola-droid-xtreme-stars-in-its-clearest-off-the-cuff-preview/
Yeah, I don't get it. Unlike Windows Mobile, which looks ugly in its stock form and was never very finger-friendly, stock Android at least looks a bit more on the stylish side AND works quite well with finger input.

It seems that all these overlaying software solutions end up doing is hindering performance or usability of a device (HTC Sense on the Evo, for example)]]>Jun 11th 2010 4:10PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/11/motorola-droid-xtreme-stars-in-its-clearest-off-the-cuff-preview/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/11/motorola-droid-xtreme-stars-in-its-clearest-off-the-cuff-preview/]]>Jun 11th 2010 4:15PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/11/motorola-droid-xtreme-stars-in-its-clearest-off-the-cuff-preview/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/11/motorola-droid-xtreme-stars-in-its-clearest-off-the-cuff-preview/
How could you compare an OS that develop years before Android when adroid is only about a year old. c'mon guys stop comparing winmo with new shinny OS with touch in mind.]]>Jun 11th 2010 4:21PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/11/motorola-droid-xtreme-stars-in-its-clearest-off-the-cuff-preview/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/11/motorola-droid-xtreme-stars-in-its-clearest-off-the-cuff-preview/
I'm glad to see a bunch of top of the line phones coming to each carrier. This competition makes phone pricing and features better and better each year. So far it seems like the top lineup is EVO, iPhone, Droid, and N1 for carriers.

4 years ago I paid $350 for a craptastic WinMo flip phone on Nextel. I don't want to get into details how much that combination sucked.]]>Jun 11th 2010 4:21PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/11/motorola-droid-xtreme-stars-in-its-clearest-off-the-cuff-preview/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/11/motorola-droid-xtreme-stars-in-its-clearest-off-the-cuff-preview/
Agreed, hope this talk of "ninjablur" is up to snuff.

That phone is nice, thin, and sleek though. Really thin actually.]]>Jun 11th 2010 4:24PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/11/motorola-droid-xtreme-stars-in-its-clearest-off-the-cuff-preview/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/11/motorola-droid-xtreme-stars-in-its-clearest-off-the-cuff-preview/

ATT and the likes will never get a good Android device, and even if they advertise it as so, doesn't make it so...

The Xtreme looks slick though.]]>Jun 11th 2010 4:42PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/11/motorola-droid-xtreme-stars-in-its-clearest-off-the-cuff-preview/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/11/motorola-droid-xtreme-stars-in-its-clearest-off-the-cuff-preview/

hey, it's a joke, you idiot. take it easy, will ya?

I pictured Homer Simpson saying what I commented while I commented. It was funnier in my head than on here. You gotta think about that situation. Go ahead. Think about it.

Nextel, however... ridiculous, and everyone knows it.]]>Jun 11th 2010 5:39PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/11/motorola-droid-xtreme-stars-in-its-clearest-off-the-cuff-preview/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/11/motorola-droid-xtreme-stars-in-its-clearest-off-the-cuff-preview/
The back of the device is ugly as hell. What were they thinking.]]>Jun 11th 2010 5:43PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/11/motorola-droid-xtreme-stars-in-its-clearest-off-the-cuff-preview/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/11/motorola-droid-xtreme-stars-in-its-clearest-off-the-cuff-preview/
The plus side would be that it's pretty darn thin except for the bump on the back around the lens. which I'm not so hot on. With the possible exception that if it somehow actually allows the thing to shoot passable 720p video and not the jerky over compressed crap that is coming out of the Evo and all the other new so-called 720p phone cams - that would be a win.]]>Jun 11th 2010 5:44PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/11/motorola-droid-xtreme-stars-in-its-clearest-off-the-cuff-preview/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/11/motorola-droid-xtreme-stars-in-its-clearest-off-the-cuff-preview/
No, because you can get an Incredible or EVO that is equivalent or better. (Raw Android notwithstanding)

The new Motoblur looks FAR better than the old one, but still, 2.2 comes with a 2x-5x performance boost, in addition to Jacascript V8 mobile browsing, and flash..... COM'ON.

OMG so that this is faster than NEXUS ONE and GALAXY S with 2.1?

With 2.2 is going to be really flash]]>Jun 11th 2010 6:43PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/11/motorola-droid-xtreme-stars-in-its-clearest-off-the-cuff-preview/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/11/motorola-droid-xtreme-stars-in-its-clearest-off-the-cuff-preview/

To me it doesn't really matter. I'm running Froyo on my Droid right now; I'll be happy to get this phone with more RAM, faster processor, and bigger screen, wait for it to be rooted, then install whatever ROM I want. I'm loving this!]]>Jun 11th 2010 8:24PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/11/motorola-droid-xtreme-stars-in-its-clearest-off-the-cuff-preview/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/11/motorola-droid-xtreme-stars-in-its-clearest-off-the-cuff-preview/i dont think that accurate at all because the sprint hero first shipped w/o the branding and a week later boom, they all have "with google" on the back.

this might not look like just a black slab, but because of that it implements the same size screen in a poorer way.
