Droid X is now $49. Should I buy?

[qweewq11]

Was thinking that the Droid X is a bit too big and a bit too expensive so was planning on picking up the D2 since it was free (vs. $149).  However, the price on the X is now $49

Am now leaning toward the X.  But am worried that I will miss the keyboard.

Has anyone gone from a keyboard phone to a keyboardless phone?  How was the transition?

I've had a physical keyboard on my phones for the last 6 years.  When I switched to the Droid X it took about a week and I got accustomed to the on-screen keyboard.  Sometimes I miss the physical keyboard, but only in apps that don't switch to landscape input mode.

Before you order a phone online I'd make a trip to the store just to see how the different phones feel in your hand.  Play with the on-screen keyboard and see if it's something you could deal with.  I say that because if you buy the phone from Amazon you don't have the 30day money back replacement if you don't like it they will charge you a restock fee.

You need to check that link. It sent me to an Amazon page featuring a MyTouch on TMobile. 

Not a deal at ANY price.....

Same here. I took your link and went to Amazon for a T-Mobile My Touch, not a Droid X. As for a virtual keyboard, I love it. The keys are good sized for a big masculine finger, plus I use swype. Gets some getting used to, but once you learn it, you'll love it. Most physical keyboards, I found the keys too small.

Doh, my link was wrong: let's try again: Link

Sounds like a good deal, but THAT good a deal has me suspicious, even with Amazon. Like my ol' pappy used to say, "If it's too good to be true it usually isn't." These have to be refurbished phones, or something. Truthfully, I'd be careful. There is a catch somewhere.

I use the voice input method a lot now - it works remarkedly well. Better than any keyboard!

In Amazon, DX is now 1c

EDIT: the phone is now free on contract Same link as before.  AW is really going nuts.

I had the original Droid and after using the onscreen keyboard I havent look back, it does take a little getting use to but after a while I can type faster with a on screen than a hard keyboard....Go to store and try the onscreen out for a little while and see how you do with it, I think in landscape the Droid X keyboard is easier to use and larger than Droid 2.

Now as for the Droid X being to large and expensive, I can agree size can be a issue for some hands but I think it fits my hands well, :and as for price , is 199.99 actually to high for a power horse like the Droid X????  I would have never thought that for a device like the X but each see things diffrently....   Also I was wondering where the Droid 2 is Free? That device is way to new for it to be a free device already, where did you see this advertised because the site has 149.99 on it here.. http://www.verizonwireless.com/b2c/store/controller?item=phoneFirst&action=viewPhoneDetail&selectedP...?

Thought I would ask....
