Motorola DROID X Verizon Phone Review

The Droid X is very good. It is a bit exaggerated. This Hummer humdinger of a phone delivers the absolute maximum in state-of-the-art Android power at the expense of expansion of the joint between the thumb and other four fingers. The Droid X will be one of the first phones running on Adobe Flash, if a software upgrade will come later this summer, and its properties and quality set a standard that is to carry out such other Android phones.

When Apple pursuing the dream of One Perfect Phone, it is fascinating to see, Google Android in the operating system of many developing Perfectly Good Enough phones. On my desk right now, in order of size, the Droid X, HTC EVO 4G, HTC Droid Incredible and HTC Aria. Everyone is always useful and at least somewhat similar, but they recommend each of them something. Together they form the world of smartphones exciting and seductive than ever.

Design

The Droid X is big iron. In the area it is the largest mobile phone in the U.S. today. In 5 of 2.6 by 0.4 inches (HWD), it is 0.2 inches longer than the HTC EVO 4G which is already quite large. The Droid X size only by the camera hump played on the back. The HTC Droid Incredible looks like a child next to the X. Small hands will not this phone comfortable to hold. But it is relatively thin and light, given their size.

The 4.3-inch, 854 x 480 screen is nice to see, and it is slightly higher resolution than the 800-by-480 super disks on other Android phones. It is not quite an iPhone 4 “Retinal Display”, but it is as high resolution as anyone need. Below the giant screen are four hardware buttons.

I’m not a fan of the touch keyboard, but if you have a touch keyboard, you could do, great. The X-Droid keyboard is perfectly adequate, reinforced by the sectarian Swype text input field method that you write quickly, without words can pick up your fingers. Swype is high when entering the most of your typing URLs, passwords or personal name.

Motorola has always call quality a priority, and they try a new trick on the Droid X: three microphones, used two for noise reduction. The trick works: I have not done any background noise at the other end of calls to the X, even when I call next to a roaring city bus. RF reception was spectacular. Thanks to the large antennas, was the Droid X in a position to eke out a call, where the incredible failure.
