Motorola Droid X - What do you want to know?

[jeffxallen]

For only $3.72 each when QTY 50+ purchased - 6FT Mini-HDMI (Type C) to HDMI (Type A) Specification 1.3a 30AWG Cable | Mini-HDMI to HDMI Cables

There, a super cheap, capable mini HDMI cable.

You're welcome!

This is not the right cable. This is a mini HDMI. The Droid X uses a Micro HDMI. Monoprice currently does not stock them.

What are the battery drain increments? Droid is in 10% increments. Does the Droid X also deplete in 10% increments or does it show more detailed?

There are plenty of battery monitoring apps you can get for free once it's out. Though not as convenient as the home screen icon, it's usually the most detailed.

Are my BB Storm (micro-USB) chargers going to work for the X?

Oh, lame. Looks like I need to do more research on the differences in HDMI cables. I've never had a need for a smaller version so I didn't realize there was a difference. Thanks for knocking me down a peg. Seriously

Oooo, I'd love to know this as well

I would assume so.

Does the X have a compact QWERTY option? like the storm/eris/incredible?

Oh man, I didn't even think about asking this. I use compast qwerty (SureType) on my storm exclusively. I have a hard time typing on a full keyboard with a touch screen.

Also, I feel like it's worth mentioning, there seems to be a lot of Storm owners who are jumping ship to the DI and the DX. I already mentioned this in the DI forums, but it's nice to see it continue here as well. Mass migration, activate!

I think this is because most Storm 1 and 2 buyers, like me, expected a more feature packed phone with tons of cool apps and games and an impressive new UI.

Instead, they got a Blackberry with a weird touchscreen which was on par (debatable, yes) with Android at the time, but Android accelerated and RIM kinda just said, ok whatever, here's a new version of BBM and a really slow AppWorld.

That's why I'm jumping ship. Never really enjoyed my Blackberry. Should've gotten a Droid when I had the chance...

Does the Droid X support Avi? almost all of my movies are in avi format and i would hate to have to convert them if i want to watch them on the phone. The mobile burn review part 3 says no avi but the hands on that Engadget did b4 the phone was announced played Hot Tub Time Machine in avi. So anyone know?

Is Phil gonna post any answers to these questions? 8 pages and no answers yet. Whats up with that?

Couldn't have said it any better.

I went from the Dare to the storm.. So I enjoyed it at the time. the browser sucked tho. No looking back now. Android is the way to go. I was shocked that Iphone didn't have multi tasking untill now ok back on topic

 

[IceDree]

Is Motorola gonna a release a GSM version or one with SIM cards or International version ?
I'm from Saudi Arabia & they use the regular networks like European countries

Is there gonna be a "unlocked version" or "contract free version" or what ever it called ?
A friend of mine ordered a Sidekick LX 2009 from America & she can't access to the web through her Sidekick , because it got something to do with contracts & locked versions

Do you know how much Droid X (for unlocked version) price will be ?

Hey Phil. I didn't see this answered on the Androidcentral.com post but I was wondering if the Droid X will have the Gorilla glass like the Droid1? Thanks

According to what the guys say this video: Motorola Droid X: Hands-On | Android Phone Fans

the Blockbuster app WILL output over HDMI, however I've seen contradicting reports on that. Can you confirm?
