"You have essentially a personal supercomputer," Google chief executive Eric Schmidt said at the announcement.
Like the HTC EVO 4G for Sprint, the Droid X is a large slab (2.6 inches x 5.0 inches x 0.4 inches, weighing 5.47 oz) with a big, bright screen running the Google Android operating system. Unlike the EVO 4G, the Droid X runs Motorola's own skin over Android 2.1.
The Droid X's 854-by-480 screen and HDMI video out "screams video," Stratton said, so the device will come with some cutting-edge video applications. There is an option to rent and buy movies from Blockbuster that play at 800-by-480 resolution on the phone's screen.
Motorola Droid X from Verizon supports wireless hotspot mode, too. A $20/month fee gets you 2 GB of wireless hotspot or tethered PC use, over and above the standard $30/month data charge which lets you use the Internet on the Droid X itself in an "unlimited" way, Stratton said.
The phone has a large, but removable 1570 mAh battery and can be upgraded to a 1930 mAh battery that is only one mm thicker. In other specifications, the list includes 8 GB of internal memory, a 16GB included MicroSD memory card, GPS, Wi-Fi and Bluetooth support.
