are there any harley ring tones for the Droid X
If you go to Phonezoo.com you can get downloadable ringtones of various types.  There are some HD sounds, mostly engines.  It's free.  The only adds I've gotten are on screen in the PC.  Nothing to the phone.

Ride Safe,

Had a BB Storm and moved to the original Droid (rooted and themed) about a year ago and couldn't be happier with the change. I have an early upgrade available and and the "X" is on my short list along with the Fascinate. The only thing holding me back is the LTE (4G) coming out soon.

I have had the original Motorola Droid since two day after Verizon released it.  It has been great to me so far.  I am not sure weather I will upgrade to the Motorola Droid X or the Droid 2.  Either way it will be another motorola droid.

I was shown two apps for the Droid that you may think are cool.  One is called RingLert which allows you to download songs as ringtones for free. You can have a different ringtone for each contact.  The second is called Gesture search.  It allows you to write with your finger on the touch screen to search contacts.  Both are free applications available from the Android Marketplace.

Didn't take too long.

My droid is starting to choke, on either apps or memory.

I have gotten several messages about the lack of storage, not specific as to whether it was apps or files.

Started deleting stuff.

That and sometimes takes a bit of time to go back to the home screen. At times I just have the wallpaper displayed and wait for the apps to pop back up.

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,
JC

I agree!

I haven't expereinced anything like that Duane.  I assume you've got it set to download pics, movies or music to the card and not the internal memory.  I know my sister in laws Android (Not a droid but still a Google Android OS) was acting similar and moving all that stuff to mem card helped quite a bit.

The Droid Incredible and earlier models have a replaceable 2gig mini SDS card.  I replaced mine with a 16gig card.  The "X" comes with the 16 gig card.  That will clear up these issues.

Mine came with the 16GB card  :nixweiss:

Just checked the phone:
SD card - total space 14.93GB, available 6.42GB
Internal phone settings:
29.2MB available space

Would think 29 MB's was enough, but maybe not.

I still get a blue screen all the time (wall paper is blue) with a delay in the apps popping back up.

29 Mb is a little tight for it.  It uses page files for memory (writes the processing memory to the storage memory) and that can eat up 29mb pretty quick if you've got a lot of active content.  Try dumping some apps and see if it helps.
