Droid X

The Droid X hits all the right notes, screen size, thickness, android. It looks to right many of the frustrations with the EVO, including battery life. The phone has great potential to be a huge success for verizon. Verizon's network helps with the entire line of Droid phones.

I'd Like a Droid X

I jumped on the Android bandwagon with the original DROID and absolutely love the phone. It is nearly perfect. I would like to actually have the perfect phone - which we all know is the DROID X.

Hook me up please.

Phone of the year!

4.3 Inch Display! HDMI Output! Mobile Hotspot! FLASH! 1GH Processor! 8 Megapixel Camera! Best OS on the market! DROIDx Does it better.

Beautiful screen, love the OS... oh, and it will replace my crappy Blackberry Storm 1.

 

[juanuribe85]

Because apple is a piece of sh!t and im tired of these "Trendy" iphone @ssholes thinking they have the best phone. Its time they see a real smartphone

The mega 4.3 inch screen that's fueled by a supercharged engine processor. The Market with this phone will put the iphone4 away. You don't need any other phone. This phone "DOES!"

 

[kamel]

lets see...

8MP camera/HDMI out/720p recording/1Ghz CPU/etc...

the only thing that separates the Droid X from other devices of similar hardware (Apple iPhone 4, HTC Evo 4G, etc...) is the freedom it gives the owner. Freedom of an open source OS and freedom to hold our phone anyway we please and not lose bars. Not to mentions its on the nations best network

3 BIG Reasons

There are 3 BIG reasons why X is the hottest phone out there.

BIG Screen
BIG Processor
BIG Red

'Nuff said

 

[Pash#AC]

I've always wanted a huge phone to make it easy on my huge hands. (Check!)
I've always wanted a phone I can brag to family members owning an iPhone (Check!)
I've always wanted a phone that I could nearly call my home (Check!)

It surely is one heck of a phone and right now, I think it's the best out there.

 

[Tackleberry]

I should win it cause this weekend I accidently dropped Beautiful (my droid) and scratched the screen all up. Need a replacement now!!

 

[ericksok]

because it is bigger than the incredible

Moto Droid X

I'm currently using a WinMo 6.1 device that I paid about $800 around 2.5 years ago. The company that made it has essentially disappeared not long after the release so there was never really much support for it. It has a number of problems. One, it doesn't support MicroSDHC so I'm limited to a 2GB MicroSD card. Two, it has a problem that won't let me put it in sleep mode without programs running from the MicroSD crashing. Three, the back plate is poorly designed and comes off easily so I have to handle it with extreme care. The tab that holds the back plate on separates from the back plate. I Krazy glued it a while ago and that's been holding.

Also, since buying the winmo I got married and we had a baby. My budget has changed a lot and I really don't want to spend a lot of money on another phone ($200 is still a lot of money to me even though it's well worth far more than that).

Some of the reasons the Droid X is the Android based phone I want are the following:
1. Screen DPI is Good! Not too high or too low!
My last WinMo device had a 4 inch 480x640 screen which is 200dpi. My current WinMo Phone has a 2.8" 480x640 screen which is 286dpi. The 200dpi was good, though it had kind of biggish pixels. I was very glad that I could see a ton on the screen at a time! The 286dpi was just too high. On the new phone running the exact same applications I had to set text sizes larger in order to read them easily. This means I didn't get as much usable screen real-estate out of the same screen resolution. That was very disappointing. The Droid X has 228dpi which I think will be perfect to get a sharp display with a great 480x854 resolution that should still be fully usable on that 4.3" screen. I think the Droid Incredible would still be a little too high at 252dpi.

2. It has a PowerVR graphics subsystem. The graphics subsystem of the Snapdragon based devices is nowhere close to what's in the PowerVR. If you look at video's of the original Droid running Doom 2 or whatever compared to Snapdragon based devices it's no contest.

3. I plan to use it as a GPS. The large physical dimensions of the screen will make it better as a GPS in the car for our camping trip to Maine this September.

I could go on and on about I like the 8GB of built in primary storage as well as the included 16GB MicroSDHC card and impressive things I've read about the screen and the camera but I'll stop here.

Thank you for your consideration!

Its just another fine example of how Motorola pushes the envelope and sets the standard for the best devices in the industry. The Droid X not only sets, but raises the bar once again in the superphone market.
Its going to be a beast! I cant wait to have one!

Greatest Phone!

The Droid X is the greatest phone because it sums everything up you want and need in a phone. It has a massive screen, the speed, camera and the new Motorola widgets. and plus its everything you could want and its better then i iPhone.

 

[Barabus]

Big screen, HDMI , a fast processor. and a 8MP camera. The list goes on and on. This phone will be a hit.

 

[ack5ive]

This device (can't call it a phone because it's so much more) will be the beginning of the end for the iPhone. July 15th, RIP iPhone.

 

[saltedpeanut]

The droid X is obviously the hottest device out on the market right now because of it's predecessor, the droid. We all know what to expect from this device plus more.. All from it's bigger screen to the faster processor. Big red did it.. well, big.
