2) It is BIG. Big is fine if you want a BIG phone, but you really do need to keep in mind that this is not really a shirt pocket kind of phone.
3) CDMA only - which means it'll be pretty much useless for anything other than WiFi data abroad where GSM is king. Yes - you can buy a second phone for travel. That said - The Verizon 3G network is fantastic.
At the rate Android phones are coming out, the Droid X will be considered outdated by September. Of course, that doesn't bother everyone, but keep in mind that Verizon will have LTE (4G) sooner or later.
The biggest negative for me is that it is NOT a world phone. I do have my unlocked blackberry's, but still would be nice to have it in one. I am too concerned about the update, hopefully its sooner than later. Ill have a look on Thurs. if it's too big, I ll wait. My rep also said there was another BB coming out this month for them, but couldnt give me any other details.
