Droid X
I am getting the Droid X this weekend and was wondering if it's possible to turn off the Blur?

Glasses.
No, really, I haven't seen anything on it yet, but then again, I haven't been looking, either.
Android Central seems to think that Blur is not on that phone...

Ninjablur/Unicornblur/Motoblur doesn't exist on the Droid X. Motoblur is an OS from Motorola. While Android does have some similar features as ___blur, it is completely different. So, guess we are back to glasses 😳 or 😎

If you want facebook, download the facebook app and use that. You lose out on some of the tight integration blur gives for social networking, but you gain a lot of battery life.
-To make your phone look more "stock" download ADW launcher. You can also use Launcher Pro if you want a different look. These are alternative home launchers and will remove most ...

It's still an amazing phone (the more I play with it, the more my OG droid is jealous.
