    When my DroidX is plugged into a USB port on my L702x, it gets stuck at the Dell POST screen and doesn't boot. If I unplug the phone, and restart the laptop, it boots up normally. I've tried about 20 different times and every time the phone is connected to my laptop, it gets stuck at the Dell screen. My phone is connecting through a powered USB hub. I don't have to unplug the HUB to get it to boot, I only have to unplug the phone from the HUB. I have two hard drives, a blackberry, and other items plugged into the HUB, but they don't cause any issues, only the DroidX. Is this bizarre or what? My phone isn't in mass storage mode. It's not a huge deal but I always charge my phones from my laptop. Last night I plugged in the DroidX before going to bed. When I woke up this morning my laptop was sitting at the same Dell screen, it had rebooted last night for Windows updates.

    Anyone else have a DroidX and L702x they could test with?
