What to do with Droid X on it's first boot?

[omnicious]

Ok so I just got my Droid X. Anyone wanna list what I should do first and foremost to maximize presence? OTA, drain the battery, root, etc. Is it really true you should charge all the way before using the phone? And also what are some things I should check off right off the bat to make sure I don't have to return it. Stuck pixels, camera problems, wifi, etc.

good questions! I am getting my droid x soon and i would like to know as well!

Root! Haha

I was kinda hoping to hold off on root till Froyo...

Agreed! I'm not sure if the Droid X can be rooted yet.

It's already been rooted.

Oh sweet! that was quick! Motorola really sucks at trying to stop people from rooting. I thought it would have taken couple weeks because of the eFuse.

Should I charge all the way and then discharge and then charge all the way again before actually using it?

eFuse has nothing to do with it..

Well I wanted to hold off on root until Froyo just to be safe.

I'm not getting nearly as much battery life as others are reporting here, and I just let my phone trickle charge while I played with it when I first turned it on. So I told Verizon and they're sending me a new battery.

I intend on doing what you describe above this time. No shenanigans. Charge it all the way, drain it all the way, charge it all the way........then I'll get back to my regulary scheduled messing around with it.

Play with it all you want, just charge it all the way, then drain it all the way down before you trust the battery indicator.

The first thing I did was get a different launcher. ADW FTW.

I don't need a contacts button because when you go to the dialer it has the contacts. Dumb design IMO.

After finally checking out LauncherPro, I will agree. Rather than having to do all your screens twice, if you want to use a launcher besides the stock one then just get that out of the way.
