I got the Droid X the day it came out. I LOVE this phone! I am a teacher and am working on an administrative degree and need something to keep me organized. I already used Google calendars, and think it's great how they sync with my phone. My son has a Droid, and helps me with all the different widgets and apps available. I love the size of the screen, and although it's definitely bigger than my previous phone, I can still stick it in my pocket. I bought a leather case (with a little bling on it) and am set to go. I can't believe how easily my music transferred from my PC to my Droid X. And, the sound is great. I am very pleased with my purchase. 🙂
I've had an interesting situation when connecting to the dock (I have two, one at work, one at home). One of the docks seems to lock up the time function of the phone. The dock widget displays the time correctly, but not the clock on the upper corner of the phone. In fact, it's caused the alarm to NOT trigger for three days in a row until I noticed the discrepancy. It seems the dock limits the phone's antenna. I have no problems with the clocks syncing on my other dock at work.
it works great. i just wish there was an eject button so that it'd be a bit easier to undock since the combo of the HDMI and micro-usb male plug make the DroidX pretty snugly docked. Note too that if you dock and you're having a hard time seeing the alarm clock, hit the high/low "contrast" icon to un dim it. It took a little experimentation to deal with that but otherwise it works and looks great. On the phone antenna comment, this looks like the antenna attenuation issue that Apple is experiencing with their iPhone 4 though in this case instead of holding it the wrong way, there's lots of extra plastic and a tall metal bar (by design) that appear to be reducing the signal.
does it work with the verison cover?
no covers while docking.
Do you know how to spell?
does not work with standard silicone cover. One needs to drill out plastic to get it to fit. So unless you are handy with tools and delicately reshaping the dock and you use a silicone cover, skip it.
My comments only apply to the Car Dock, have not tried other accessories.
