"This is only on the Droid X, I've Bootloaded my Droid many times and a friends Incredible. Mine is rooted right now as we speak with 2.1 and Rooted. To say all Motorola phones are bad is like saying all Dells are bad or all Macs are bad"
The fact that previous Motorola phones do not have this problem is not the point I was trying to make. The Droid X came out today. If this issue is a real issue then I would stay away from this phone, and future Motorola phones, based on principle. If the eFuse is as bad as people claim, I would guess that future Motorola phones will have this feature (cancer). I urge people to wait before buying this device in hopes that eFuse can be hacked.
