MOTO X DLNA ANDROID
It makes for a much cleaner experience, and you don't feel overwhelmed by all the information.Īside from the Motorola widgets, you can also add Android widgets as well as shortcuts and folders to any one of the seven home screens. You still get widgets for your social networking updates, weather, photo gallery, and favorite contacts, but they no longer take up huge chunks of space on your home screen, and you can even resize the widgets. The latter looks nothing like what we've seen on the Motorola Cliq and Backflip. The Motorola Droid X will ship running Android 2.1 with a revised version of Motoblur software. For more add-ons, please check our cell phone accessories, ringtones, and help page. As with the Droid, other accessories, such as a car mount ($39.99) and a multimedia dock ($49.99), will be made available. Verizon packages the Motorola Droid X with an AC adapter, a USB cable, a 16GB microSD card, and reference material. And sorry, folks, but no kickstand on the Droid X. You can easily find said cable on the Internet for as low as $8.
Like the Evo, the HDMI port is the Type D standard so you'll need to get a Micro-HDMI cable in order to connect it to your HDTV. On top of the device, you'll find a power/lock button as well as a 3.5mm headphone jack, and on the left, the Micro-USB port and the HDMI port. The latter is a little too close to the edge for our taste, which made it difficult to press, but it's certainly not a deal breaker. You also get some controls on the right side, including a volume rocker and camera activation/capture button. Some might have a preference for one or the other, but we definitely liked having the physical buttons, and Motorola did a nice job of streamlining them into the phone's design. The backside also has a nice soft-touch finish, and the Droid X feels like a solid handset overall.īelow the display, you get the four standard Android shortcut keys-menu, home, back, and search-but unlike on the Evo, they're hard buttons and not touch-sensitive. There is a slight bump on back where the camera and flash are housed, though we didn't find it to be too much of a nuisance. It also makes for a tight squeeze in a pants pocket, but without a slide-out keyboard like the Droid's, it's doesn't feel quite as bulky. We were actually surprised at how light the phone felt in the hand, but at that size, one-handed operation is a bit tough if you have smaller hands. Measuring 5 inches tall by 2.6 inches wide by 0.4 inch thick and 5.47 ounces, it's a hair taller than the HTC Evo 4G, but also slightly thinner and lighter. Motorola and Verizon definitely like to go big with their Android devices, first with the Motorola Droid and now with the Droid X.
MOTO X DLNA UPGRADE
Best Buy is taking in-store preorders for the phone, and we should also note that current Verizon customers who have contracts ending by December 31, 2010, will be able to upgrade to the Droid X without penalty. The Motorola Droid X will be available starting July 15 for $199.99 with a two-year contract and after a $100 mail-in rebate. It's it's a great option for Verizon customers who want a little more multimedia oomph than what the HTC Droid Incredible has to offer, and is a worthy upgrade from the Droid if you can do without a physical keyboard. Still, we think Verizon has a formidable competitor in the Droid X. However, we'd be remiss if we didn't mention that it does lack some features that the similar-looking HTC Evo 4G has, such as a front-facing camera and, of course, 4G support. The smartphone rocks a brilliant 4.3-inch touch screen and offers some great multimedia features, including an 8-megapixel camera with HD video capture, HDMI output, and DLNA support. The Droid X is the latest member to join Verizon's army, and just like the original Droid before it, it's a beast, but in a good way.
