Opinions, please!

I am trying to make a decision between 3 of Verizon's android phones. The ones I'm deciding between are the Droid X, Droid 2 and the HTC Incredible. Each one I'm sure has their pros and cons, and was just wanting to know if any of you have these phones, and what you think the pros/cons of each of them are. Thanks!

I have the Droid Incredible. You can have it when you pry it from my cold, dead fingers.

yeah I played with an unactivated one at a store, and that thing is very responsive and fast...still up in the air, though.

Go with the one with the best battery life. I keep hearing these things are horrible with the battery time.

 

[Tony Perkins]

I hear that the Incredible has the best Android experience of the three. I personally like the size of it the best too.

My vote would be for the Droid 2 but if you dont need the Keyboard and can live with the bigger screen Droid X

Battery life solution

Unlike the iPhone, the battery can be removed from these phones so you can buy an extra battery for backup. My friend bought a cheap spare battery for his incredible off ebay and it works just fine for him. You should be able to make it through a day on one charge unless you are using it heavily.

Just posted this in the Android Radar thread not even realizing this one existed, so here's a copy/paste from that and my take:

The Incredible would be a great way to go. FWIW, I still hear critics call it and the Evo on Sprint the best Android experience out there. Not to get this off topic of Mike's app, but a new version of the Incredible should be coming out around November on Verizon with possible LTE compatibility so, just something to think about...

As far as battery life goes, it all depends on usage. I used my original Droid last year not only as my phone but also as a wifi hotspot to get internet in my car and as long as I was plugged into my car charger I was fine. On a typical day of occasional email and web browsing, I get through the day with no problems. Android 2.2 really helped in that regard and as previously mentioned, buying a spare battery is also a good option.
