Coming mid of this month Motorola will be officially selling the Motorola Droid X. Like the Droid, you can consider this smartphone a monster but quite in a good way.
Design
The Droid X is a big phone just like other Androids. This smartphone measures 5×2.6×0.4 inches while tipping the scale at 5.47 ounces. Comparing it to the HTC Evo 4G, the Droid X is slightly lighter and thinner.
It is pretty big and with such size, some might have a hard time operating it with one hand. It will also be quite bulky for your pants’ pocket. Good thing it does not have the slide-out keyboard or it will add more to the bulkiness.
The backside of the phone has a soft touch feel to it. You can also see the 8.0 megapixel camera. Motorola said that they will be releasing units with front facing cameras soon.
The multitouch 4.3-inch screen offers a good look of everything that you are doing. You have an option to use Swype or the usual virtual keyboard. You will get use to Swype and most likely love the feature as you get used to it. The classic hard buttons for the search, back, home, and menu are still there.
Performance
The call quality for this phone is great but we still need to see how its batteries will perform. The camera takes some time to get the feel so you can assure clear shots despite the autofocus feature. Expect a bit of a lag with its shutter though.
It will come out with the Android 2.1 setup up there will be an update later on so owners can get Android 2.2 Froyo this summer. The upgrade will speed things up and give a better pc-like performance.
Android phones are definitely some of the most popular phones on the market today and to be honest, I think that they are some of the best phones in the world. Take the brand new Motorola CLIQ XT for example. This phone is actually one of my favorite phones in the world and it is because not only does it look cool but it also is jam-packed with technology!
One thing that you will notice about the Motorola CLIQ XT is that it is actually an awesome phone – inside and out. Some of the specs include: a 3.1-inch 320 x 480 capacitive touchscreen display, a 5MP camera with autofocus and LED flash, a full virtual QWERTY keyboard, a 512MB of ROM, a 256MB of RAM, a microSD card slot (up to 32GB), an electronic compass, A-GPS, 3G, WiFi, Bluetooth, a 3.5mm headset jack and runs on Android 1.5 OS with supports for Google services and MOTOBLUR features.
All of this and the price is just $129.99? That’s incredible!
Okay, I think that Motorola needs to give the Razor a break. Come now – I have had a razor for years and years now and while I think that the phone itself is actually really cool … it is cheap! It does not have a touchscreen, barely can get online and it certainly does not have any of the newest applications that a lot of the newest phones have but still … Motorola always resorts back to the razor.
Now they have switched the name to the MOTO Titan and they are going to be releasing it in Korea – great. Might as well give you the specs for this new Motorola right? Measuring only 50mm thick, the handset sports a 2.2-inch 262k TFT internal screen, a 1.6-inch 65K external screen with touch-sensitive controls, a 2MP camera, a microSD card slot (up to 4GB), an MP3 player, SKT T-map GPS navigation, Video on Demand service support, a USB 2.0 interface, Bluetooth and supports both WCDMA2100 and GSM/HSDPA (900/1800/1900 MHz) connectivity’s.
All of that in one phone that everyone in the world probably has owned at one point in their life right? Great…
You have iPhones, you have Blackberries, you have smartphones going on the market all over the board — is it any wonder that Motorola wants to get its slice of the smartphone pie? The QA1 Karma is Motorola’s particular slice. It will be released through forerunner AT&T and promises, as its name suggests, to bring users good karma by way of some great features devoted to social networking.
For instance, users will quickly be able to access both their MySpace pages and their Facebook pages. Given the height of popularity surrounding these two social networking sites, that is sure to be a huge draw. How easy is the access? Well, for starters, there is a handy icon located right on the home screen of the phone, in a layout quite reminiscent of the iPhone. As well, the Karma has a complete QWERTY keyboard, which slides right out, and the display is rife with high resolution — plus do not forget the 3G connectivity. If that does not sell you, then perhaps the fact that you will be able to use Windows Live, Yahoo, or other messengers quite easily will.
This is anything but a smartphone in my book — it’s cheap (about $150), it’s girly (a true ladyphone) and even though I’m not a big Motorola fan but I actually think there’s a market for a jewelry-embedded ladyphone for under $200…
