    The Droid X is so much more than just a phone, it’s truly a portable media player with phone functionality built-in.  The large screen is just beautiful, it just makes everything you do that much more enjoyable. The Droid X is a well made phone, but you’ll surely want to get a screen protector on it and a carrying case as it’s a big big to just toss in your pocket. Read more

    • +Large, beautiful display, +Decent pictures overall, +Easy to use, +Fast and responsive

    With its superphone specifications, the Droid X represents the new bleeding-edge normal, and is the best Verizon Android phone yet. But this superlative may be short-lived. Its individual capabilities hover close to the iPhone 4 and EVO, and may be surpassed by the Galaxy S Fascination thanks to its superior AMOLED screen. You may want to wait and compare the two before making a two-year contractual commitment. Read more

    At the beginning of this article, we told you the X in "Droid X" stands for extreme. This word stirs up a lot of high expectations. Although no phone can be perfect, we think it's safe to say that Motorola and Verizon Wireless have another hit on their hands in the form of the Droid X. We're not going to give the Droid X our coveted Editor's Choice award because of the lack of 4G connectivity, its somewhat large form factor, and non-backlit buttons. Read more

    • Speedy TI OMAP 1GHz processor with Dedicated GPU, Roomy 4.3-inch touchscreen, Adobe Flash Player 10.1 ready, Verizon Wireless network with vast 3G coverage
    • Large footprint, Heavier than some of today's popular smartphones, No 4G connectivity

    The Android army continues to grow with the introduction of the (MB810) by Verizon Wireless. When the original came out last year, we were impressed by the device’s features and build quality, as it was unique and clearly was the phone to beat. Since then, we’ve seen Verizon release other Android phones, such as the , , and the , with each one targeted to a slightly different audience. Read more

    How the Droid X stacks up Everything about the Motorola Droid X is big: its 5-inch chassis, 4.3-inch display, roomy virtual keyboard, fast 1GHz processor and long battery life. "It's a beast, but in a good way," says CNET's Bonnie Cha, while Lisa Gade at MobileTechReview.com calls it "lustworthy." Other reviewers are equally smitten. Read more

    • Huge 4.3-inch display, Roomy virtual keyboard, Speedy 1 GHz processor, Excellent noise-canceling microphones, Long battery life

    The new Motorola Droid X is like the EVO 4G in a lot of ways. It's large, a bit unwieldy, and the battery life could use a lot of improvement. But it's also an eye-catching device that has a terrific internet experience, solid performance, and a ton of added features like HDMI out and up to 40GB of storage that makes it a winner. Read more

    It would be a fantastic phone if they work out the bugs. I feel their system updates have made the phone worst over the past 8 months. I've had the phone replaced and I'm having the same issues with the new replacement. Overall, there are other Android phones that would be a better purchase or just get the iPhone where the bugs are minimal. Read more
