The news is great for those in the market for a new mobile phone. There are more choices than ever before depending on what the user is looking for and the price point. Customers in the market for one of the 'superphones' now have a new selection to pick from the top of the line models. One of these choices is the Droid X. The new Droid X was released on July 15th, and completely sold out. Packed with features such as the newest Android OS and coming in at $199.99, it could prove to be some serious competition for Apple's iPhone 4.

Positive Droid X Features

• Newest Android 2.1 OS
• 1Ghz processor with dedicated GPU
• Vibrant LED Touch screen 4.3-inch 854×480 display
• 8MP camera capable of 720p HD video recording
• HDMI Out
• Responsive and accurate touch screen
• Capability to act as a 3G hotspot
• Battery life of 480 minutes usage; 220 hours stand-by

Negative Droid X Drawbacks

• Larger than iPhone 4 and slightly heavier
• Camera speed can be confusingly slow
• Despite hardware, software can sometimes stutter

Final Thoughts

The phone looks incredible, and the screen takes up nearly all of the real estate on the front side. The Droid X has many included standard apps, and comes with full Facebook, Google, Myspace, and Twitter functionality. Sometimes the back side of the phone can get a little warm, but not hot. The overall bulkiness of the phone can sometimes feel a bit weird in your pocket but you get used to it pretty quickly. Web pages generally load fast and work well at sites such as YouTube, but occasional hiccups that seem to come at random requires a reboot of the phone. Overall, despite some of the drawbacks, the Droid X is a very solid mobile phone that does what it says it will do and is very nice for mobile web users who want a big, easy to use and read screen for surfing.
