I have had one since they came out. Absolutely love it. Does everything you could ask for in a smart phone. .the navigation app is great. Pandora radio is a favorite! Riders claw will have a HD handlebar mount in 2-3 weeks as well.

Have the Droid 2.  I need a slide out keyboard as I fat finger the screen keyboards way too bad.

I love mine.  Pandora rocks.  The navigation is great althought a route option to go the way you want rather then the way it wants to send you would be handy.  I'm planning making the rider's claw the top item on my Christmas list.  All in all a great device and another nail in the coffin for satalite radio... at least for me!

Ride Safe,

I have both.  My personal cell phone is an HTC Hero Droid, which I love and enjoy the heck out of, and my work phone is a Crack Berry 9700.  It's okay, but prefer the Droid.  Unfortunately, work says I gotta carry the Crack Berry.  :(

Got rid of ATT and my iPhone and went to Verizon and the DroidX and haven't looked back!  Great phone, great coverage.

I'm in the exact same boat.  I love to tell people how "smart" my company is to require us to carry the device that they pay extra for, not to mention the BES licensing fees instead of allowing us to connect the droid directly to the the Exchange server simply by allowing access through the Unified Access Gateway.

But it has allowed me to become ver proficiant with both devices and the Droid wins by a landslide.  Not to mention that it's tons easier to view CVOHARLEY thru the Droid then the crackberry.  ;D

Ride Safe,

     Had the Droid Incredible and now the X.  Both are great but the screen on the X is fabulous.  There is an online, pdf owners' manual that is a must read.  Also, the "Tips and Tricks" app is worth reading.  There are so many shortcuts to learn but it's worth it.  The google gps & nav are better than in my F-150 or Porsche!  Waiting on the Rider's Claw Mount too.  I have added Pandora, Country Radio, Google Earth, Google Skymap (Very cool), Bing, The HTC clock and weather widgets, Earthquake (for here on the West Coast), Lookout Mobile security (featured in the Verizon commercials)m Advanced task killer (helps with the battery), some guitar apps and EBay android.  All work well.   The camera if very good too.  Gave up my pocket camera....

Love my Blackberry Storm. Does everything I need it too.
Will worry about the Droid when I get a freebee from Verizon on my latest Blackberry

Nice to see all the positive comments on the Droid X as I'm thinking about upgrading.
Heck - I still use an original Razr 3  :)

I guess having a phone - to actually USE AS A PHONE - is considered caveman mentality these days eh? lol

I have the regular droid, nice. Only have one real issue, the mini plug jack is so poorly made I can't use it on the bike, cuts out or too much static.

I found that there are a small number of apps with Harley themes, some wallpapers, mostly mediocre, and most are paid.

In other words, nothing particularly worthwhile that I've come across yet.  I do think MOCO has an iPhone app so maybe they will come out with something soon?
