While many people can't wait to get their hands on the new iPhone 4, Motorola's Droid X is garnering lots of positive reviews. The new Droid X is scheduled to be released on July 15 will sell for $199 with a two-year Verizon Wireless contract and after a mail-in rebate. Its display comes almost an inch bigger than iPhone's 3.5-inch display and runs on Google's Android OS.
Because it runs with Verizon's network, call drops are expected to be very near zero. The handset can also act as a mobile hotspot for other Wi-Fi devices.
Many technical experts are giving praise to Droid X for its flashy display, responsive performance and lengthy call time (7.5 hours). It has an 8-megapixel camera that has an auto-focus feature and shoots great videos.
Other people are calling attention to the Droid's good collection of applications although there's no front-facing camera like the iPhone does. The Droid X's 1GHz OMAP processor is also getting high marks from many reviewers. The HD video-out support, however, can only be used with photo and video galleries, not You Tube or Blockbuster movie applications.
