The Droid X is the best bcuz the iPhone 4 sucks and is overrated and this phone is actually the bizness. This phone is legit!! I went to try and get one this morning and was like second in line because I went so early, but because I'm not the account holder, long story short, i got screwed over in the end. I really wanna win bcuz the phone is so awesome and bcuz it makes the iphone look silly!! PLZ PLZ PLZ!! :-D
 
resistance is futile

the droid's monolithic screen and ability to capture HD video (stored on a whopping 8gb of internal memory or a possible 32gb of flash) make it the supreme achievement of the smartphone industry. so what if there's no front-facing camera? most of my contacts are ugly, and i don't want to have to look at them more than is necessary.
 
The Droid X is the phone that cements the return of Motorola as a phone manufacturer. This proves that they are not a one hit wonder with just the Droid. This phone is the only one I have been recommending to people on Verizon and is a phone I would purchase if I was available for upgrade.

Its a big phone which is perfect for guys like me who have big hands, texting on my Droid can be difficult sometimes especially when I don't take my medicine for my overactive thyroid. Yah my fingers shake causing me to ever so slightly hit the wrong key on that cramped on screen keyboard. The Droid X should be the phone to help me out with this. If not then it looks like I might just need to use a tablet as a phone, it would fit comfortably in my hands (not so much my jeans).

With that said the Droid X is just all around a gorgeous phone, also Motorola and Verizon are doing a great job keeping the spirit of the Droid family line-up intact. Seriously what phone in recent memory has had commercials that look like a movie you'd want to go see. It's the hottest phone of the summer for soo many reasons that have been stated in your forums and blog that i could end up writing an entire article on the phone without ever holding one. So I will leave it at this...

This is the consumer phone to beat right now.
 
I think the Droid X is the hottest phone right now because it has a feature that most phones don't have - the eFuse, it's the bomb!

I kid.

Even a bricked DroidX is better than the LG shine I currently own,
hook a brotha up!

Droid X :: SmartPhone Newbie

The Droid X feature-set is great, but features alone don't provide a device I love to use. The Droid X looks cool, but cool looks alone don't provide a device I love to use. What I like about the Droid X is that it offers both, a great feature-set and cool looks, up'ping my chances that this will be a device I love to use and that's what I really want. This may be the device that changes my life (or perhaps it will highlight that I need a life). ;)
 
The way I see it, it's the overall package. To me, the overall package is a balance between great hardware and great software. Some examples are the iPhone 4 and Evo 4G. The iPhone 4 is the overall package. It doesn't have the best software (completely lacks in multitasking, widget support, and notifications) but the hardware is top-notch and it's so easy to use. The Evo has super software (HTC sense and ANDROID 2.1 are a great mix) but the hardware and build are not THAT great. Now, an example of a phone that doesn't have that TOTAL package is the Palm Pre Plus. WebOs is AMAZING (best multitasking, notifications, and that multi-gesture support!) but its hardware is dying (if not dead) and dated. Motorola is known for making QUALITY handsets. The DROID X is a great example of that. Made from metal and durable plastics, great camera, 3rd generation processor (with support for great 3d graphics), and one of the largest and highest resolution displays in the U.S. All of that packed into a narrow (yes, also very tall) and thin form factor. So, from a build perspective, the DROID X is in my opinion the best ANDROID phone. On to software. HTC sense is still the best skin for ANDROID for me, but this new skin on the DROID X is nothing like Motoblur. I'm guessing this skin will be exclusive to Motorola's high-end ANDROID phones. While the skin still looks somewhat like Motoblur, those intrusive and annoying features from blur are gone (as is the cartoony look!). Oh yeah, and what other ANDROID skin can resize widgets?! This is why I want a DROID X. It's not innovating in any way (because you can't say it is). There are other phones with 8MP cameras and HD video, with 1GHz cpus, with 4.3 inch displays, and so forth....but, the DROID X is the TOTAL package!...Android Central, give me that DROID X!...please?
 
The best phone, the best wireless carrier, the best looking wallpaper with an eye... I could go on and on and on.....
 
I need to get me one of these phones. I am tired of my crapberry. I want to own the best new thing in electronics.. DROID X
 
Gotta have that phone

The Droid X represents the Android Revolution coming to full bloom. For the FIRST time, I would feel confident comparing my Verizon phone against all the iphones that my friends have on ATT. The MacFanBoys will of course still swear by their device, even as a possible recall is swirling around. Meanwhile I'll hopefully be enjoying the 8mp camera, 4.3" screen, generating my own wifi, free google sync, android marketplace, HDMI output, expandable memory up to 40 GB, replaceable battery, being able to get wireless insurance, etc., etc., etc. I love that Verizon isn't waiting around for Apple to realize that they have the best network, but are instead throwing their full weight into promoting their Droid series line. It secures Android as a ("the") premier smartphone OS. All the hackers being concerned over Motorola's device security won't bother 99.9% of consumers who will be sporting this phone over the next few months. I'm finally ready to dump by Blackberry, I have no interest in an iPhone...6 months ago, I thought Android was cool, now I'm convinced they are THE best. Personally using the flagship Android device completes my personal smartphone revolution too!

Well I know I had said I was done with Moto's because of the bootloader locked. But thanks to your guys recent article http://www.androidcentral.com/droid-x-booby-trap-controversy I'm very interested again. This phone has great potential! Beautiful screen, fast processor, and the best network around! No need to overclock this baby in my opinion, all I need is root for wifi tether and hopefully eventually I can flash a stock froyo rom :)
 
The Droid X is so hot it can melt things. It is hotter than the sun. It is even hotter than South Carolina in July (which is hotter than the sun). It is so hot I will need to have Mr Freeze with me to cool it down before I can use it.

The Motorola Droid X (read our full review) finally comes out on Verizon this week. And to celebrate, we're giving one lucky reader a Droid X of his or her very own.

To win, all you have to do is leave a post in this thread and tell us why you think the Droid X is the hottest phone of the year. We're providing the phone -- you're on your own for Verizon service. (And you'll need to be in the U.S. for this one, obviously.)

The Droid X officially launches Thursday, and we'll announce our winner live on the Android Central Podcast, which starts at 9 p.m. EDT Thursday night. Good luck!

So when I finally win something for the first time in my 42 years (Another reason why the Driod X will be the hottest phone this year and for years to come) do I have to be listening to the podcast or will I get an email? :cool:
 
Winning an X

I don't know what the criteria is that you want to see, hear, or write. Maybe you are going to use what the winner says in a commercial, or use it in a theme to further market the phone. For me; I like big, I like bad, I love fast! This is a phone has all that. This is a phone that I think about using as a communicator to contact R2D2 and get the door open on an Imperial star cruiser. This phone is great and the name X is short for extreme which is not as mundane as incredible... LOL :D Sean P

The Droid X is the hottest phone because the larger screen gives you more real estate to view Android Central!!!
 
It's totally the hottest phone to me because the Omnia (original) is soooo last year! And Android beats the pants of WM!!!
