Yeah I also heard gb blur is nice. I'm going to try it soon but i'm still loving by liberty 2.0.1

From my Liberated DROID2 at 1.25ghz

Maybe it's not the blur but I can tell the ammount of preloaded apps is double than was on the D1

All you need to do is install LauncherPro, ADW, or whatever alternative launcher you prefer, and you can make it look/feel however you want.

Root and remove the bloat. That is the first thing that I always have to do. I was going to get the DX2, but have decided to wait and see what the D3 comes in specs/price and then make a decision. I like the DX2 screen size etc but really like a physical keyboard as well. Too bad you can't have two phones with the same number and swap between them without having to go online and swap devices around.

newbie here so the above is a foreign language so have no clue how to root etc but i get my DX2 today and i also had the OG droid so if it comes with more preinstalled stuff i definitely do not want the extra bloat...any help on what i need to do when i get it to resolve that for me?

Thanks

Okay for the sake of not sounding stupid, Can you explain to me what Motoblur is exactly? I keep hearing folks talk about it.

I thot you were suppose to use Titanium after you rooted your device to help you get rid of, or freeze, the bloatware, not totally remove it.

Nearest I can figure it's the user interface, or the IU. But I always wondered that myself.

It is a UI overlay that Moto puts on their phones. It changes the way the phone looks and feels and does some stuff that people don't always care for, like sync your facebook contacts with your phone contacts. A lot of people also believe it slows down their phone.

Be that as it may, many people still find it annoying that that is a needed step to have the look and functionality they want in their device. I hated blur with a passion, although I will admit that gingerblur has been quite usable and a welcome break from LPP
