My Lord it's huge!

[GreenAcid]

I'm not completely sure what I expected, but it surely wasn't this. I went into my local VW store to see if they had one I could see. All they had was a dummy.

It's as long as my hand from wrist to fingertips. I think it may be a bit to big, err, too long for me. My gracious that sounds bad, but can't think of another way to put it.

Here's a pic of the X dummy beside an Inc.

Yeah, My girlfriend and I went to the mall today too to put money down on my X and also wanted to check a Demo. The retail store was too busy, so we ventured to the kiosk, where we were greeted by this beast. lol. My girlfriend goes "ITS HUGE". i was just thanking myself the person behind the counter was a female ;P

rofl......this thread is littered with win I defended the X's size, but clearly, I was delusional......if they could just chop that Jay Leno chin on the X, then it would be handle-able again, lol..over and over....

Perspective.

Yes it is....I need a cold shower now....

Not too big for me

Jesus it's really NOT too big..what are you people? China dolls? lol

Seriously though....it's.....not.


EDIT: Just realized you are a female, so maybe your hands aren't quite as large as a typical man's. I guess that makes a little bit of a difference.

I went to local VZW store Tuesday nite and played with a live demo. It is large but it is not bulky. Can't wait to get my own! And I am a woman with small hands.dancedroid

 

[plumcrazy]

i guess im a size queen...LOL
doesnt seem too big for my hands

 

[NytroGirl]

LOL! Boy how this thread has taken a turn.

It is definitely not bulky at all and I so dig that. It was the perfect weight and all, just not sure about the length and weight I suppose.

Definitely be interested in what you guys and girls think once you get yours.

In another thread, I said I have carried larger phones for less functionality. My first Windows Mobile phone, the i700 was about the same size. A lot of phones where smaller but much thicker and heavier.

I have lived with the X for 2 days now (I am in a VZW focus group) and it really doesn't feel as big as it is because it is very light. I do have large hands, so using the whole scren is not hard. I talked to a friend with smaller hands and he has some difficulty and prefers the incredible.

I also miss the tight integration of SenseUI, I think it is better than Motoblur.

But, the phone is FAST, the screen is awesome, the sound is great. Overall, a real winner (unless you want custom roms, but it is so good, you don't need one).

i dont normally like too many things in my pocket. either way, all the phones i get usually clip on to my pants. at lunch ill check out the phone.

Sippin on coffee while reading this thread was probably not the best idea. I'm currently still under contract and cannot upgrade until December, however, with this NBA promotion Verizon is running, I just may be able to upgrade. My main concern was the overall size of the phone but I think you guys cleared that up for me....so, thanks!

And....that's what she said! Sorry, I just had to.

I believe you can upgrade as long as your contract ends in 2010? You can check your verizonwireless account and see.

One of the reasons I'm switching to X from Inc is I want a bigger phone. (I just got the back ordered Inc, so I've only had it a couple of days, X arrives tomorrow.)

I'm a big guy, so I have no trouble with a larger phone. In fact it's more comfortable for me to one hand txt with.

They all say that, it is just for your ego, not necessarily true

The bar that indicates how long I have until my next upgrade is still showing that it's not time. I am in talks with my Verizon Business rep to see if she can confirm it. If so, splendid, I'm making the jump.:icon_ banana:

I am certainly making less typos with the slightly larger on screen keyboard. Only problem is that there is no nav key of any kind (Inc had the optical, Droid had the 5 way on the hard keyboard) so when I do have an error, it is a little harder to navigate back and fix it. There is a way to bring up nav buttons in the Swype keyboard (probably the multi-touch too, but I switched to Swype as soon as I turned it on). Swype from the Swype key to the SYM key and it will bring up the editing keyboard.
