[QUOTE="XJ-linux, post: 1092324, member: 33722"] Some quick observations... I've had the Droid X since Friday now. I've been able to get bars to drop by holding it with my hand around the bottom and/or top of the handset. I have not, however, been able to terminate in progress calls or stop data flow completely (like an on-off switch) as I could do with my returned iPhone 4. I should also add that I have no case for it as of yet. A Seidio Innocase is on the way. So... yes, the DX does lose displayed bars as the iPhone 4 did. My dB value fluctuates between -72 and -98. The FCC app shows that I seem to score consistently ~700k upload/download rates on 3G. My iPhone 4 fluctuated wildly between 0 and ~2000k in 3G. Both phones seem to have excellent wireless N speeds in the 8-9999k realm with an Airport Extreme Wireless N base station operating in single band 2.4Ghz mode. Take it for what it's worth - not much.
