Please note that there is a more comprehensive Droid X review available if you want. At 5-inches tall, Droid X is currently the biggest smartphone on the market, and sports a screen equal to the EVO 4G’s at 4.3-inches with a 854×480 resolution. There might be a few pixels missing hrere and there on Droid X, which is not the case on the iPhone 4. That being said, Droid has such a huge screen that a couple missing pixels does not matter anymore.
Motorola also decided to go bigger by including an 8-megapixel camera with dual LED flash that can take reasonably crisp photos and records video in 720p. Motorola included DLNA as well as HDMI support designed for streaming media to your HD TV or any other device.
Droid X has a very powerful processor: the 1GHz TI OMAP. With a processor like this one, you can switch between applications easily and browse through the phone lightning fast. The next big thing is the amount of memory inside the phone. The Droid X comes with 24GB of internal storage: 8GB on board and a 16GB removable micro SD card.
A big difference with the first Droid is that Motorola decided not to include a physical keyboard to this phone. It was a wise choice given that although the cellular phone is massive, it’s somewhat slim in comparison to its general size. An actual keyboard would have very likely designed a device already not easy to stuff into a pocket actually more difficult. Nevertheless, with the bigger screen, the on-screen keyboard is simple to type with and Motorola attentively integrated a Swype keyboard for those who are not pleased with the stock Android keyboard.
One of the main selling points of the Motorola Droid X is that you can use it as a mobile 3G hotspot for tethering laptops, netbooks and other wireless devices to your 3G connection. This is so easy to establish a connection that anybody could do it, and the connection speed is more than decent.
While there are plenty of products that offer style over substance, the Droid X delivers plenty of both in a form factor that is sure to elicit plenty of ‘oohs’ and ‘ahhs’ when you bring it out.
