Droid X Update

I’ve had my Droid X for nearly a year and a half now, and I’ve got several observations.  First, it has been a decent device.  I’m not going to say it is amazing because at times it leaves a lot to be desired.  There are always processes running for apps I’ve never opened, and the screen hangs up often.  In fact, the older the phone gets the crankier it gets.  I’ve gone through and deleted a lot of apps I had for my daughter on the phone hoping to make it happier, but that failed.  I’ve had times where I was trying to swipe the phone on for a phone call and it paused for so long the people hung up on me.  There is nothing more frustrating than trying to answer the phone but being stopped because the phone is malfunctioning.

Most people think the phones stink because they are phones, and their primary function should be just that.  I’m going to need an upgrade at some point soon, and I am leaning toward an Apple iphone.  I’ve got a hunch that because they are a more controlled environment for apps, there is less margin for competing apps.  I’m no expert except for the fact I have experience using the Droid, and when it works it is an awesome tool for GPS/Mapping, Internet searches, games, etc…  When it doesn’t work though, it makes me want to throw it through the wall.

I don’t mind using a Droid OS phone, but I am going to wait until the bugs are worked out before buying another.
