Which droid should I grab?

Right, don't support Moto! They are a bunch of criminals, lol. I am going HTC myself. Also remember moto does not make a good camera. If a camera is important to have on a phone than don't put your money on moto.

I was not trying to be humerous, when I referred to Motorola as Thugs and possible criminals. Conspiracy to commit an act, while sometimes difficult to prove, *is* a crime. And laying booby-traps (efuses) to catch unwary people who mishandle rooting their Droid X is, in my opinion, a conspiracy on the part of Motorola.

Yes you are correct. I shouldn't make lite of the situation. I agree that booby trapping a device that we own and payed good money for is wrong and is malicious. It is only a matter of time before motorola brings on its own demise. I cannot wait for moto to fail.

I've posted this a couple of times on this board but Ill say it again. I was in a similar situation a couple of weeks ago when my d1 broke. I too am waiting for the new better phones that are coming out soon. What you should do is check craigslist and get yourself a nice phone like a d2 (like i did) or X or something cheap. That will hold you off until the new phones come out. Then when they do, sell the d2 or X, and use that money to get your new phone. That way you always have a nice phone, and the waiting won't be such a chore. And you don't waste your verizon upgrade this way.

Thunderbolt looks promising. Also my friend has the HTC incredible and its pretty nice and has roms. My next is an incredible or thunderbolt based on if 4g phones will require a more expensive plan. Samsung is having update problems now I believe.

Wait for the Bionic or get an X. And harass Moto about their bootloader locking ways, see sig.

Your sig link doesn't work...

Harassing Motorola about their bootloader is pointless. They do not appear to have any real motivation to stop doing what they're doing, unless their game changes to offering to provide an unlock code - for a price. That then moves into the area of extortion: "Pay us the money we want, or we'll break your phone."

Like I said, spend your money on a good phone (the HTC Thunderbolt) and reward a company who doesn't lay booby-traps for unwary users who try and fail to root their phone.

People people, moto said last week they are working to develop a more open developer based phone so stop the unfounded hate. The comment about the locked bootloader was retracted and does not state motorolas current view, sheesh
