I was shocked to find nobody else has started this but it was inevitable...
So I began my life on this site over on the imagio side of things. The imagio wasn't bad, but after my fourth replacement I went to the INC. After ordering it on 6/4, I finally got it on 7/3. So far, I absolutely love everything about it. That being said, the droid X definitely has my attention. I've read a number of reviews and it seems like the majority of the comparisons I've read thus far break it down to screen size, HD video (who cares), three mic's, and a "dedicated" GPU. The only thing that really has my attention is the GPU. While I would like to hear what you guys think, here is the heart of the issue: Will having the GPU amount to a hill of beans when it comes to performance?
Obviously, my first inclination is that of course it will. After thinking about it though, it raises the question as to if there is any software out there or soon-to-be that would benefit from it? I can't imagine how anything could run "faster" on the X than it would on the INC. The web is obscenely fast, sense is amazing, etc. So is the GPU the first in a new breed of phones, or is this something that will take years before we see anyone truly utilizing it? If the consensus is that the non-GPU phones are a dying breed, then I may jump ship come Thursday. If it's just hardware that'll be fun to brag about but never used then I'm going to stick with the INC.
All this comes down to the fact that I made a mistake buying the imagio. It was a dying breed of phone. I don't want to see my lovely $200 INC being the $49 VZW special in 3 mths while the X remains the flagship. I'd like to at least be on the top of the heap until late fall...
Debate on...
