Well Its true how everyone changed their tone real quick about the locked bootloader on the X and D2…I never had any doubts…There are different opinions on this. I enjoyed your viewpoint. Regards,

I was really excited reading this right up until I read you cannot boot the device and for all intensive purposes its bricked, I’m assuming they can reflash the original software to de-brick it but I don’t really see this as huge progress. Glad to see it

Yeah, but the bootloader is still locked. That is why installing the custom recovery “bricks” the device and prevents booting into Android. Unfortunately, the major hurdle is yet to be cleared – getting the OS to actually boot with the custom recovery installed.

Kellex, whenever Birdman or another developer successfully comes up with a hack to safely load custom roms onto the Droid X, you should provide a link to their donations page as I know the Droid-Life community is very supportive of rooting and these guys should be rewarded for their hard work. I for one will donate.

I love the Droid-life community. I'm 18 years old and I'm a summer student at the place where my dad is the executive vice president, the smartphones they use are very outdated (Winmo non 3G with Verizon) and they need new ones, so my dad is letting me pitch an Android powerpoint that I made to him and the president. If all goes well 50 more activations to join the Android Army!

Overstock.com has Droid X batteries for $12.99...not sure if that is a good deal since I have an original Droid...but thought I would mention it!

Hey Amy,

Handcent does use emoticons, just not the little android faces like on the D1, it's standard circle faces from the handcent program. Still better than nothing, and there may be ( and probably is) a way to customize them or use a different sent, there's a ton of options for the program, so many I never got a chance to play with them all.

I was content sticking with my D1 unless they can unlock the bootloader on these bad boys. I'm hopeful to see it happen, but at the same time cringing the day it does b/c I'll have zero self-control to not upgrade.
