Got my X last night and installed the update already. Effin awesome phone! I love it and I've still got lots to figure out/play with. Also, I tried to duplicate the "antenna problem" as in the video...my phone didn't have any issue, signal strength stayed strong.

Have you tried holding the phone in that special way in a known low coverage area...? Just to make a fair comparison to the iPhone 4's issue...

Yes I originally tried it in my apt... I have pretty low signal inside the apartment anyways (2 bars max) and it didn't drop any lower.

Also I work in the middle of nowhere and signal is always weak out there. With my old enV touch i would have really low signal(trouble sending a text kinda low) or loose signal totally if I was inside. So I tried the signal test with my X at work and didn't have an issue either, I'm on the web, watching videos etc compared to the enV could barely find signal. Sooooooo, I'm calling it good

I agree with that statement. I just switched from the iPhone 3G to the HTC Aria. Somewhat overwhelmed with all the options I had access to and all the things I could customize. It's a much steeper learning curve initially compared to iOS. I'm happy that I switched and definitely not going back to the iPhone.

Finally looking to sell my current Droid on Ebay and order the X. After watching all the reviews on YT, I'm pretty stoked.

By the way... Use swype to text! It's sick as hell. I just started playing with it and it's way faster... I let it walk me through with the tutorial once and now I love it.
