Had the phone for over a year now. Everyone said it was too big at 4.3 inches. But now large seems to be more beautiful.
My concern is with the physical home keys. The menu, home, back and search keys are all physical. They are going to wear out before my contract is up. Better to get sofware home keys in my opinion.
The phone has hardly ever failed to install and run well the new apps in the market. Thus it is plenty powerful to keep up with the more demanding apps coming out for newer devices. For instance, Jan2012 I installed the new Monoply game from the market. There were many cautionary tales in the app comments about the game needing a powerful phone, etc.. But the DroidX came through and rendered the game very well. It compared favorably to the install and game operation on my new Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1.
I recommend the phone. Just be easy on button use. Battery. Ahhh. Dont expect miracles. Normal use shoud be fine. I purchased extra 2 batteries and 2 chargers. I use the phone alot. Some days I have to swap batteries 2 or 3 times. When I go out I stick 2 of the little suckers in my pocket. I use a silicone cover on the DroidX, easy to take off to swap batteries.

Since I refuse to be locked into a contract and use Page Plus which is a cheap conduit for getting Verizon. I'm stuck with buying older versions of phones. This phone I believe is very close to the latest technology out there and I don't have to pay thru the nose for a huge monthly bill. I am very satisfied with this phone. The camera is great on it, it has a flash and gives great quality photos, the screen is very responsive and what I like the most is that it has a huge screen compared to the other phones I've had for the same price. The screen is the same size as a Samsung Galaxy 2. The software is current too. I paid 130 bucks for this and it's worth every penny.
I will never get a iPhone since they have nothing more to offer than a name. The Droid X has just as much as the Apple for a quarter of the price and you don't have to pay thru the nose every month to own it.

I think this is my favorite phone I've ever had. I bought a used one a couple months ago and I loved it so much, when my upgrade came up, I chose the X2 over the new Droids and Rzr phones.
The X2 cannot compare to the X. It is cheaply made and it worked just like the X. So I ended up returning the X2 and kept the X. The battery cover on the X2 broke of into the phone causing malfunctions.
If you are thinking of buying the X2, don't do it. Keep the X you have or buy the X over the X2.
It is very fast moving from app to app, fast internet even on 3g, and because of its larger size, the touch keyboard isn't that bad at all and I'm starting to get the hang of it. It is larger than an iPhone but smaller than the Samsung Note.
It rarely freezes up or restarts itself. In fact, I can't remember it freezing up one time since I had it. I previously had a Droid2 and Droid2 Global and both would regularly freeze and/or restart itself.
I have dropped it twice with a silicone cover and it didn't damage it at all.
I highly recommend this phone even over the X2.
Here is a cheap case that offers great protection and is easy to take on and off to change battery:
