Why you might not want to buy a Droid X.

Droid X actually self-destructs if you try to mod it

'If the eFuse failes to verify this information then the eFuse
receives a command to “blow the fuse” or “trip the fuse”. This results
in the booting process becoming corrupted and resulting in a permanent
bricking of the Phone. This FailSafe is activated anytime the
bootloader is tampered with or any of the above three parts of the
phone has been tampered with.  It requires a hardware fix, apparently,
only available through Motorola, of course.'

If this is true, I would probably stay away from all Motorola phones.
