Android Central's Free Droid X giveaway

I think that it's going to be the hottest phone of the year because it won't drop phone calls if held a certain way.
Hummingbird, dedicated GPU, Verizon's service, and no FPS cap... these are the things that it has over the EVO so that's why I would want one. Getting one for free would be the only thing that would allow me to cope with Verizon's plan prices when compared to Sprint's.
Hey Android Central! I'm posting, hoping to win a Droid X from you guys.
In my opinion, the Droid X is the hottest phone of the year for a few reasons. First, it is on arguably the most reliable (and in some respects, "best") network in North America, Verizon Wireless. Additionally, it's one of the first phones to come with a 4.3" display, one that is large and provides a really great experience for multimedia, including pictures & video (and the extra screen space really helps when using the keyboard, too), and while it can be polarizing for some (in that it's either too big or so big that it makes it more awesome), it definitely has drawn a lot of attention to the phone. They say that all attention is good attention. I think in the Droid X's case, this is true.
Other reasons include a 1Ghz OMAP 3630-1000 processor which seems so far to benchmark much faster than the 1Ghz Snapdragon processor found in many other Android phones like the Evo and the Incredible.
Other reasons make this phone really hot, including a promised "late summer" release of 2.2 FroYo for the phone, a pretty darn good camera by most assessments, an HDMI out port which seems to be reasonably useful and nice to have, as well as some really great premium accessories like the multimedia dock and the car dock, among others.
But perhaps what makes the Droid X most attractive and hot and the must-have phone of the year is the marketing and hype built by VZW/Motorola for this phone. The Droid lineage has seen a lot of success, first with the Eris/Motorola Droid (mostly due to the Motorola Droid), then the Incredible and now the Droid X. This line of phones has garnered a certain reputation that seems to draw customers in who want the best smartphone experience on Verizon Wireless. The Droid line of phones has been the driving force behind Android's rapid growth over the last 7+ months and one has to wonder where Android would be without the Droids and the marketing that VZW & Motorola so heavily pushed and continue to push. The Droid has caused enough excitement to convert many iPhone users even. With that kind of presence, it's fair to say any time a new Droid launches, there's sure to be lots of hype and excitement and strong sales usually accompany that.

Please show me mercy as I have a stinking G1 and am seriously dying to get a Droid X! You see I have no one and I have nothing, my only means of pleasure is too use my Google Phone that is so old and slow. Please don't make me beg.. Damnit fine! I'm begging you and your kind soul to find favor in me and bless me with that gorgeous piece of sexy tech so that I might have a reason to go on for at least another year......

Because Im getting old and can't find my a$$ with both hands and a flashlight at times and the large 4.3" screen will prevent me from screwing up text messages so the next time I send a text to my secretary to "come see me for a sec" it won't come out as "come see me for a sex"... I really need the Droid X!!!!

Is the best phone out and I really need a replacement for my poor Droid Eris that I beat on every day.
The Droid X is the hottest phone of 2010! It has large 4.3in screen for easy browsing of the internet and watching full HD movies. The three mics are great for talking on the phone, and recording videos, while canceling white noise. One feature that makes the Droid X a great phone is the HDMI out, now you can watch photos and videos through your HD television. The 8MP camera with 720P recording and a LED flash surpasses all other smartphones on the market with its crisp pictures and clear videos. It's 1GHZ processor makes it one of the fastest phones our there. There is no lag what so ever. What really makes the Droid X the hottest phone of the year is that it is on the Verizon network! No more dropped calls or unreliable 3G coverage.

It's the hottest phone because people want more from their devices and this will give it to them. In particular, I want a good size screen, fast processor, a hell of a decent camera, a stable OS that you don't need constant updates for (sorry RIM), a true web browsing experience, a vast application market and a quality network. Motorola, Verizon and Google are the LeBron, Wade and Bosh of the wireless world (even though I hate basketball).
Simple, this phone has a big booty, and who doesn't want a phone that is rockin some sweet boo-tay!!
