I would be going through Verizon and I can either get an HTC Incredible 2 , Droid X or Droid X2..

I have never owned a cell phone before and never kept track on whats what.. Any info would be appreciated.

I'm partial to HTC so I'd get the Incredible. Pretty sure that all three run Android though and I don't think you'll be unhappy with any of them. No real reason to get the Droid X when the Droid X2 is an option.

If it's available you might look into the HTC Thunderbolt as well to get 4G as well.

There really is only one option on that list, and thats the Droid X2. Its the only somewhat future-proof superphone on that list due to the Tegra 2 Dual Core Processor. I love mine to death. Get around 2 days of battery life on it but be warned, it takes a few days for the battery to calibrate itself and its life will suck at first.

Just how bad do you need a smart phone right now?

Apple iPhone 5 with iOS 5 will be out early October.
Google Nexus Prime with Android 4.0 will also probably be coming sometime in October.

If you are gonna get locked into a 2 year contract with that phone, I might wait a couple months for the latest and greatest if you can.

The Droid Bionic also comes out in Sept, which is 4g and dual core.

To me the choice should be between Android or iOS and between buttonized keyboard or screen touch keyboard.
