First impressions and pics of the Motorola DROID X

Nick Gray on Jul 14 at 10:04 pm

The Motorola DROID X may be launching at Verizon stores across the the country tomorrow morning, but we thought you might be interested in some pictures of the phone and our first impressions. We can definitely say that the DROID X is one of the best Android options from Verizon and the fastest phone from Motorola to date.

Personally, I’m not a huge fan of phones with extra large screens. My main complaint about the EVO 4G was the size and I was a bit taken aback when I heard that the DROID X was even larger. However, the sharp angles on the DROID X actually make the phone feel smaller in the hand than the HTC EVO 4G.

The custom UI on the DROID X is actually quite impressive. Most Android fans have pretty harsh words for Motorola’s MotoBLUR, but we’re pretty sure that those who spend a few minutes with the DROID X will walk away with a smile on their face. The phone still has all the social integration features found on other Motorola phones, but the UI has been toned down a little, making it less intrusive. One of the coolest features is the ability to re-size the majority of Motorola’s widgets so that you can customize your home screen to the way to really want it.

We will be playing around with the DROID X quite a bit over the next few days, so be sure to check back in. A full review, benchmark breakdown, and a few other posts will be coming soon, but if you’ve already made up your mind on the DROID X.

hahahahahahahaha buat yg suka ngoprek jgn beli droid X!

Well, I might have recommended a Droid X for big-phone-lovin’ fandroids out there… but now that I’ve read about Motorola’s insane eFuse security system, I’m going to have to give this one a big fat DON’T BUY on principle. I won’t restate all my reasons for supporting the modding, hacking, jailbreaking, and so on of your legally-owned products here — if you’re interested in a user’s manifesto, read this — but suffice it to say that deliberately bricking a phone if the user fiddles with it does not fall under the “reasonable” category of precautions taken by manufacturers.

Really. If you want to make it difficult to hack, that’s fine. You think your software should be enough, that’s fine. But once I pay money for the item, it’s mine, and disabling my device because you don’t like what I’m doing with it falls under the category of sabotage.

Here’s what eFuse does. This information is a couple days old but it’s worth reading if you’re interested in Android, development, or open standards in general. Besides, I just found out about it, so you have to read my words whether you like it or not. or you could just stop reading. Either way. Anyway:

If the eFuse failes to verify this information then the eFuse receives a command to “blow the fuse” or “trip the fuse”. This results in the booting process becoming corrupted and resulting in a permanent bricking of the Phone. This FailSafe is activated anytime the bootloader is tampered with or any of the above three parts of the phone has been tampered with.

It requires a hardware fix, apparently, only available through Motorola, of course. This is the equivalent of a MacBook detonating some core component if you try to install an OS to dual boot.

Will many users run into this problem? Probably not, but Android is a platform that not only was founded on the idea of openness, but thrives because of it. The grey market of sideloaded apps and custom ROMs will only get more popular and more easily accessed as people realize that their phones are tiny computers waiting to be customized. That idea is anathema to Motorola and clearly they will continue to stoop to unreasonable means to “protect” their hardware — which you bought and paid for.

So here’s my official recommendation: don’t buy a Droid phone and don’t recommend them to your friends. There are too many good options out there that aren’t locked down by nefarious means. Look up a Galaxy phone or wait for the next awesome thing to come along. Vote with your wallet and tell Motorola “open or GTFO.”

Kan gak semua orang suka ngoprek Mas, itu kan juga untuk melindungi konsumen sebenarnya biar gak jadi brick phone. Sama seperti komputer di kantor, udah disetting baik2 program2nya, dilarang nginstall program yang gak jelas ma IT-nya, eee tau2 komputernya rusak karena user menginstall sembarangan program dan jadi susah melacak penyebabnya karena di luar standard yang sudah ditetapkan.

Ini juga membuktikan kehebatan Motorola dalam melindungi produknya dari tangan2 jahil dan kalo terjadi kerusakan lebih gampang diketahui penyebabnya.

Reality Check: Modding the DROID X may not lead to a bricked phone
by Kelly Hodgkins on July 15th, 2010 at 11:01am

A post by p3Droid on the My Droid World forums claims to shed some light on the rumored locked bootloader of the DROID X. According to the posting, the Droid X ships with an e-fuse chip that locks the bootloader and will brick the phone if the bootloader is modified. The news is spreading like wildfire with many would-be ROM flashers wondering if they should avoid the DROID X like a plague. This breaking news may not be as dire as many are claiming, as a google search of OMAP3 and e-fuse reveals that current OMPA handset already have e-fuse in place as part of the M-Shield hardware security technology built into TI’s OMAP system on a chip. It is on the very hackable DROID and the not-so-hacking-friendly Milestone, but it is not being used by Motorola to lock the bootloader of the handset. The current theory being put forth by the non-alarmists in the Android hacking community suggests that the DROID X is locked in a similar manner to the Milestone. Though it may be difficult to , and may lead to many hairs being pulled out, mucking with the bootloader probably won’t brick your phone. As the DROID X lands into the hands of the Android hacking community in the upcoming days, we should know a lot more about the state of rooting and flashing on Verizon’s flagship Android handset. Be calm. Stay tuned. It’s just a phone.

Customers line up early to buy the Droid X
Some Verizon stores sell out of the X, which is viewed as a challenger to the iPhone
By Matt Hamblen
July 15, 2010 02:37 PM ET

Computerworld - The Droid X, which may be the toughest smartphone yet to effectively challenge the iPhone, went on sale at 12:01 a.m. today, starting with customers lined up outside a Columbia, Md., Verizon Wireless store.

The early buyers said the Droid X's large 4.3-inch screen was a big draw. They also like the touchscreen's responsiveness and the fast 1 GHz processor.

"It has a larger screen than the iPhone and the touchscreen is very responsive," said one early buyer, Danny Choy, who bought his Droid X at a store near Miami and was interviewed by phone. The iPhone screen is 3.5 inches.

Choy said he tried a cousin's iPhone and found its touchscreen keyboard hard to use. After only a few minutes with the Droid X, he found the Swipe typing application helpful for quick and accurate message writing.

An undergraduate student in biology at The Johns Hopkins University in Baltimore, Choy plans to use the Droid X mainly for access to medical applications and social networking. The iPhone was never on his buying list, he added, because his cousin has had reception problems over AT&T's network, while Choy has had no connection problems over Verizon's network on an older Samsung phone.

One buyer at the Columbia store, Tanya Schools, said having the ability to use the Droid X as a Wi-Fi hotspot to other devices was part of its allure. "With work and everything, I need Wi-Fi and I need the hotspot," she said in a video recorded by Verizon and posted on its site. "I need things to be fast. The EnV3 didn't hold up to that standard, but I've come in twice and played with the Droid X demo, and I'm blown away, absolutely blown away."

Verizon officials said they were excited about the early turnout. They said the Droid X had sold out in some stores, but customers could order units to have them delivered to their homes.

The Droid X, manufactured by Motorola, sells for $200 after rebate and a two-year agreement with Verizon. It runs Google's Android 2.1 operating system, but will be upgraded over the air to version 2.2, probably by late August. At that time, it will also be possible to download Adobe's Flash 10.1 media player to the device.

Verizon, Motorola and Google heavily promoted the Droid X in advance of sales, even airing an unusual 60-second teaser ad the night before on television stations nationwide. The ad features pressure-suit clad actors entering a vault in an open strip mine in a desert locale, and follows them as they walk through a corridor before they confront a floating crystal object. It concludes with a blackout to the words, "tomorrow" and "Droid X."

Another edgy Droid X TV ad began airing over past few days that features a close up of a human eye that turns into a robotic steel lens.

Verizon Wireless spokeswoman Brenda Raney said the latest ad was just one commercial in a campaign to promote the phone. She said future ads will "look different but stay with the same theme of how customers are transformed by the Droid X."

Analysts have predicted that the entire Android community, especially Google, will go to great lengths to sell the Droid X. "Droid X is their answer to the iPhone," said Jack Gold, an analyst at J. Gold Associates. "I would expect them to spend megabucks promoting the thing."

Gold said he'll be watching how the Droid X sells compared with the iPhone 4, which had 1.7 million sales in the first three days it was available. While that figure will be hard to beat with only one Android model, "I think the X will do very well," Gold said.

DROID X first production run sold out online, now shipping July 23rd
by Kelly Hodgkins on July 15th, 2010 at 6:40pm

The DROID X proved to be extremely popular today, as the first production run is now sold out online. Folks looking to avoid the dreaded mail-in-rebate by buying online will now have to wait until July 23rd for their handset to ship. In-store sales have been equally strong with most stores selling through their launch day inventory. If you didn’t snag a DROID X yet don’t despair, additional shipments are expected to replenish the brick and mortar stores in the upcoming days.

Hehe... Dia selalu dapat informasi yang tidak "up to date" dan setengah-setengah.

Motorola Droid X sukses penjualannya dan pelanggan puas.

Droid X Is Here Commercial (YouTube).

bro motozine droid x ini kok di gsmarena blom ada yah?? pengen lihat gambar dan speknya secara mendalam

Karena Droid X itu CDMA Mas jadi gak muncul di GSMArena.

ooo begitu,, kira2 versi gsm nya keluar ga?

Motorola Droid X versi GSM seharusnya sich keluar juga tapi belum ada beritanya sampai sekarang.

hahahahahahahaha!ngapain bangga sama hp kelas 3???hahahahahahaha
sama htc aja msh kalah thu!hahahahahahahaha

A recent survey of 4,028 US consumers by ChangeWave has thrown up a number of illuminating statistics, which you might consider as predictable as they are informative. The chief takeaway is that people are keen on buying smartphones like never before, with 16% of respondents saying that they'll be taking the plunge within the next 90 days, which marks the biggest increase in the survey's history. Secondly, and crucially for vendor loyalists, Apple and HTC seem to be the biggest beneficiaries (or are they the stimulants?) of this interest, with both improving their share by over 50 percent between March and June of this year. RIM and Motorola have taken a tumble in that same timespan, while Palm has sadly failed to register even a single percentage point. We can definitely see the Droid X and BlackBerry 6 remedying things for the big boys, but Palm's route out of ignominy seems a little less straightforward.
berharap aja thu penjualannya bisa meningkat gr2 droid x!tp kyanya ga mungkin juga sih!hahahahahahahaha
nih kesimpulan dr engadget!
Cast in that light, the Droid X becomes a much less magical phone than the Droid was. It's good, and it's a pretty enjoyable execution of Android 2.1, but it's not a must-have phone -- especially in light of the Droid Incredible and the upcoming Droid 2. From a hardware perspective, this phone is pretty much a bang-on execution of what a high-end mobile powerhouse should be, but Motorola clearly still has work to do in order to play in the same software league as HTC does with Sense.
kejer dulu thu HTC klo dah bisa baru naek level ngejer Apple!hahahahahaha
berharap lg aja sama droid 2!hahahahahahaha

You'll find a chart of customer satisfaction -- dominated by Apple in imperious fashion

liat thu, dalam hal kepuasan pelanggan juga kalah jauh thu sama Apple!hahahahahahahaha
emang sih msh bulan juni,tp mampu gtu menyusul Apple dengan ketertinggalan yg jauh gtu?hahahahahahahaha

berapa sukses sih droid x terjual?? udh 3 hari nih! bisa nyaingin 1.7 juta iphone 4 ga???hahahahahahaha
motorola msh gigit jari tangan + kuku liat pertumbuhan penjualan Apple dan kepuasan pelanggan terhadap Apple!hahahahahahahaha
@ancehamsah jgn ampe terjun yach!hahahahahahaha

btw ktanya gw mw diabaikan aja, kok msh dbaca jg postingan gw??hahahahahahaha

Hahaha lagu lama main di angka2, mau di urutan ke berapa pun Motorola tetap di hati. Gak ada perspektif lain ya selain angka2? Dari fitur & ketahanan misalnya, Apple kebanting tuh!

Apple Minta Maaf, Tawarkan Casing Gratis

Kasihan banget pengguna iPhone 4 hanya bisa terima saja tanpa ada pemecahan. Haha..

Why Apple's iPhone 4 Update Won't Fix Your Reception Problem

Quote:

After talking with some wireless engineers, it seems that this is not going to be the case. Michael Anderson, who used to work at Motorola's FCC testing lab, points out that "it's a fundamental flaw that can only be fixed through a redesign. If that is redone, all the FCC will have to be completed again. This may be a long slow process to fix."

Apple to provide free cases to iPhone 4 owners

Quote:

Consumer Reports believes Apple's offer of free cases is a good first step. However, Apple has indicated that this is not a long-term solution, it has guaranteed the offer only through September 30th, and has not extended it unequivocally to customers who bought cases from third-party vendors. We look forward to a long-term fix from Apple. As things currently stand, the iPhone 4 is still not one of our Recommended models.

ada yang lucu juga disini: [tautan dihapus]
Sampe segitunya ya ngetes brand lain juga hanya untuk menghibur hati penggila Apple agar bisa menerima cacat itu. Tapi kenapa gak dibandingin dengan produk Motorola? Apa karena gak ada masalah sinyal dengan produk2 yang dikeluarkan Motorola biar di tekan di daerah mana pun?
