MotoBlur negativity??

[jmorton10]

I don't get what all the complaints claiming "Blur is awful" are all about.

I saw a post recently claiming the main reason the poster decided NOT to buy the DroidX was because it included Motoblur.

WTF am I missing here?? My X runs awesome & i fail to see what blur has to do with it really (or how my phone would be better without it).

I did not like the original appearance of the system (preferring the look of Sense in my old TouchPro 2), but after creating my own custom wallpaper, using "Fancy Widget" to recreate the flip clock/weather look, adding LauncherPro plus, Forte calendar, K9 Mail & Handcent SMS + using some custom widgets instead of what came in the phone I now like my current setup better than Sense in every way possible.

If none of the stuff was changeable in the stock setup, I would agree with the complaints but you really don't have to use anything that came with the phone if you don't want to??

I hated sense, the huge friggen clocks was annoying as hell taking up so much space. I like the phone and the way it functions far better then the tp2 I still have. I really was ignorant and didnt know what I was missing. the phone just works in every aspect, where my tp2 would freeze, require soft reset, or refuse to run/open something the droidx handles it effortlessly seemingly. I dont feel the need to customize themes or clocks or any of that as it works well the way it is for me. I side with you on this.

I was on the "blur is crap" bandwagon, and a "give me vanilla froyo" whine bag. So I flashed a "custom rom" for my X (no custom kernel obviously - just de-blurred)- I hated it.

Some of the blur stuff I don't care for. But like you said- I don't have to use any of it. I discovered that a lot of the blur stuff- I DO CARE FOR.

good looking out my brotha.
