Get the official extended battery for it. It adds almost no thickness to the phone what so ever, it's almost completely unnoticeable. http://www.repairguide.biz/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/5a1d57f5bdn0159g.jpg.jpg
It's like a straight upgrade to the phone with no drawback.
I know: it's a thread about your very entertaining inability to settle with one phone or carrier.this is not a thread about Samsung
I wasn't aware that it doesn't fit in the official car dock. I never saw the big appeal with car docks because of how often I get a new phone. I bought a universal mount that fits pretty much any smartphone and then use the car charger.
there is a slight drawback. it doesnt fit in the car dock. unless mine is just special.
That's strange. I have an extended battery and the official car dock and it fits just fine. Not sure what is wrong with your setup.
mebbe its just the dock i have. i read up on it a bit after i tried my friends extended battery for a few days and i saw some saying it fit fine, others saying they had to alter their docks to make it work. mebbe its just crappy form on the dock insert. i ended up giving the battery back to my friend, and i have yet to get my own. i havent had many issues with the stock battery lasting me long enough yet to justify buying the extended set up.
Usually it takes three full charge cycles to recalibrate after a full flash...I have the extended battery, along with the leaked build in GB. I fully charged and unplugged on Sunday night, have not used the phone at all except for 2 40 minute calls and right now I am at 10% battery this morning. Pretty awesome.
How do you like it so far Rudeguy? Ive been thinking about picking up one for my wife and I from Target as well. Free Droid X is pretty nice. Looks like i can get a 20-25% discount being ex military according to the lady at the Verizon Store. I jumped on the Virgin Mobile LF Optimus bandwagon and the data service is just horrible. Testing and voice is all fine and the phone is pretty nice, but the data kills it. And being a smart phone its kind of important lol
I'm running the extended battery and GB release and definitely not getting the battery life I was getting at stock. Not sure why, but it seems the GB release is hit or miss as I see plenty of people have better life and plenty of people having worse life.
any time you run something like that its going to be hit or miss.
There's a reason its not available OTA yet.
I have zero complaints.
I went over lunch to check them out and th guy at Target said they are rebates you have to mail in like every few months. But you pay the $200 up front. Is that how the deal works to get it free? Amazon has them for 1cent which is basically free. I wonder how theirs works.
I didn't get my Droid X from Amazon, but I got two other phones for my parents through them and there are no mail in rebates to worry about. They literally charged my credit card $0.01 for each phone ordered.

Yeah i just ordered 2 Droid X's from Amazon. Just funny to see a checkout of $.02 LOL.
Phones should be here on Saturday. Should be fun.
woohoooo! My first soft brick.
Some theme didn't agree with Liberty 1.5.
Lol did you have to sbf with a USB boot? Shit sucks lol.
Looks like $49 for an existing account. I think I might upgrade... but I'm worried that it will screw up my family plan. A screen pops up that says some crap about $29 a month.
