Verizon Motorola Droid X specifications and review:

Motorola calls Droid X as a pocket sized home theater. The 8MP camera with dual LED flash, HDMI output and crystal clear 4.3 inch capacitive display makes this true. Similar to HTC HD2, and EVO 4G, the Motorola Droid X has a very effective screen management. The size of buttons and controls and reduced to improve available screen size. The Droid X doesn’t have QWERTY keypad found in original Motorola Droid. So it is much thinner and easy to carry along. The Swype enabled virtual keypad supports typing 50m words* per minute. Things would go perfectly with the help of Texas Instruments OMAP™ 3 1GHZ processor with inbuilt POWERVR SGX graphics core. The full HTML web browser of Droid X will have multi-touch support, and it allows up to 8 browsing tabs at the same time.

Motorola Droid X will not have Android 2.2 on its lunch. However, it will get the update though “OTA” along with Flash 10.1 in this summer. Droid X uses custom Motorola Interface called MotoBlur. MotoBlur implements the push enabled social media widgets, mail, weather, all on the home screen of Droid X. The new MotoBlur UI supports 7 home screens, streaming widgets and will provide a single quick access to the data notification panel.
